El número de parados gasta la misma velocidad que una bomba de película serie b, lo que ha provocado que nuestro CV no dure más de 7 segundos en las manos de los responsables de recursos humanos (RRHH) de cualquier empresa. Es decir, que ahora disponen de menos tiempo para estudiar los cientos de currículums que reciben una vez se hace pública una oferta de empleo, por lo que ya no sólo cuenta tener un buen currículum, sino que hay que facilitarles, en la medida de lo posible, la lectura del mismo.No se puede conocer con exactitud, pero se estima que la duración antes de la crisis era alrededor de 12 segundos. Esta media de tiempo sólo se emplea para aquellos que están adaptados al formato estándar, ese en el que la información se estructura dentro de los bloques de datos personales, apartado académico y profesional, idiomas y aptitudes, y por último, los "otros datos de interés".More...

La creatividad no proviene de la libertad, sino de la sistematización obsesiva de su búsqueda. No necesariamente encuentra creación el que la busca, pero sin duda no la encuentra el que no se decide a buscarla, tesonera y obstinadamente.No es verdad que cree aquel que respire libre, sin represiones ni presiones (tengo cientos de contraejemplos que lo demuestran). No lo creo. Crea el que se obsesiona por hacerlo; el que insiste y aprende cómo hacerlo; el que se formó; el que trabaja para eso; el que se forja en esa faena durísima. La creación no es un acto mágico, repentino y genial, consustancial a la condición humana. Liberadas, las personas no creamos, solo repetimos. Lo que está en nuestra genética cultural es el cliché. La repetición es nuestra acción natural. Somos animales de hacer lo mismo.More...

The Arab Spring countries of North Africa and the Middle East are ushering in a new generation of contemporary artists, eager to express their social and political perspectives in an era of post-revolutionary change. Journalists have taken notice, shining a light on the region and its potential for explosive creativity by reporting on individuals and communities in Egypt, Libya, and Yemen who are leading the way for a renewed artistic culture in their respective locations.The World Nomads festival is echoing this sentiment by choosing Tunisia as their country of focus for the 2013 biennial celebration. For the fifth edition of the festival, the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) is hosting a month-long bevy of multi-media events in New York dedicated to the art, music, dance and theater of the North African state.

Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara is best know for his depictions of adorable -- if not ever so slightly maniacal -- children. These quirky characters have made their way into almost every inch of his sculptures, paintings, and works on paper, baring their cute, round faces and large, devilish eyes in galleries and museums across the world since Nara's early career.More...

New research out of UC Berkeley reveals some interesting tidbits about how the human brain reacts to music.According to a study headed by scientist Stephen Palmer, we are hardwired to associate anything from Mozart to Mumford & Sons with a particular hue from the color spectrum. Whether it's a classical composition or an indie pop ballad, we automatically make music-color connections based on how the various melodies make us feel.More...
