Q8.
Y created a creepy video in which it imagines a future where an evolving record of our
online data could be used to direct human behaviour (for the viewing by employees only.)
The video was obtained by The Verge and was made in 2016 by Nick Foster, the head of
design at Y's ambitious research and development division X Labs. It offers an unsettling and
controversial vision of the future that would not look out of place on the Netflix show "Black
Mirror."
Drawing on theories of evolution and directly referencing Richard Dawkins' 1976 book "The
Selfish Gene," the basic premise imagines that people have an ever-evolving online data
record, which Foster calls the "Selfish Ledger." In the future, he says this could be used so it
"not only tracks our behaviour, but offers direction towards a desired result." ID Y.

Q9.
In 1960 X enlisted in the United States Air Force at 18 years old and served as a
medical records technician .He eventually rose to the rank of master sergeant and
served as the first sergeant of the U.S. Air Force Clinic at Eielson Air Force Base in
Alaska, where he first saw the snow and mountains that later became recurring
themes in his artwork. He developed his quick-painting technique to create art
for sale during brief daily work breaks.
Having held military positions that required him to be, in his own words, “tough”
and “mean”, “the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you
make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work”, X decided
that if he ever left the military, he would never scream again. He got his
perm/permanent hair afro done before he rose to television fame which is
why he couldnt get rid of it as it became a part of his “fuzzy”/warm identity.

These headphones, called The Project Rock, are the result of a collaboration
between X and Under armour.
In the words of X:
“Project Rock is not a brand, it’s a movement. It’s a core belief, that I 100%
don’t care what color you are, how old you are, where you come from or
what you do for a living. The only thing I care about is you and me, building
the belief that regardless of whatever the odds, we can overcome and
achieve—but it all starts with the work we’re willing to put in with our two
hands.”
