Marcelo Viridiano, a man with light skin, glasses, and beard, wearing a dark gray sweater, light-colored pants, and white sneakers, with his hands in his pockets, stands next to a blue conference poster for the 6th International FrameNet Workshop (IFNW 2025) at Keio University in Yokohama, Japan. The conference poster features white text highlighting the event’s theme on frames, cognitively grounded language resources, and AI, along with a list of invited speakers and a QR code for more information. The background shows a modern outdoor walkway with glass windows and metal columns.
A looping GIF of a manual pencil sharpener in action. A yellow pencil is inserted into the sharpener, and as the handle is turned, the pencil rotates and gets sharpened. Shavings accumulate in the transparent compartment of the sharpener, showing the sharpening process.
A surreal room (the Black Lodge, from Twin Peaks) with red curtains and a black-and-white zigzag floor. Three individuals are present: one seated on a black sofa wearing a red suit (the arm), one standing in a gray shirt and red bow tie (the Fireman), and another seated in black attire (FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper). The setting includes an abstract atmosphere, with unique lighting and a white statue in the background.
A photographer is lying on the grass, holding the camera close to the ground, aiming forward, while a red fox is standing on his back. The fox has its head on the photographer's woolen hat.
A stunning image of the Pillars of Creation captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. Towering columns of cosmic dust and gas rise against a backdrop of stars, glowing with vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold. The intricate details reveal the texture and structure of the pillars, with light from newly formed stars piercing through the dense material.
This is a cartoon depicting four people standing at the edge of an active volcano. One of them, pointing at the others, says, “You may have a fancy education and a high IQ, but the rest of us say we ALL jump into this lake of hot lava! Now, come on!” The caption at the bottom of the image reads, “How democracy works.” The scene humorously critiques majority rule by illustrating an absurd decision made collectively.
