French artist publishes every Google search she ever did
13 Sept 17:51Key points summarised by AI
French artist Albertine Meunier started publishing her entire Google search history in 2006, protesting tech giants' extensive data collection.
Her ongoing project, spanning books and exhibitions, aims to highlight the vast personal data stored by companies and encourage public data release to challenge their business models.
A pioneer in digital art and NFTs, Meunier continues to advocate for NFTs despite the market downturn, valuing them for enabling artists to receive commissions on resales.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
