French Artist Julien Durix Launches His Genesis NFT Collection ‘Like a Brush’
Paris, France - August 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Durix is a popular artist within contemporary art circles, and his works have been displayed in some of the most renowned art locations in the world. This includes showings in iconic cities like New York, Monaco, Paris, Miami, and Singapore. He's released over 500 highly rated works and is presently one of the most preeminent contemporary artists of his generation. Today, Durix stands tall amongst other contemporary artists as he is not only breaking new barriers within his field, but he's also blazing new trails in new and unfamiliar territory. That is exactly what his NFT collection is all about.
Durix's new NFT collection "Like A Brush" is a collection which will be deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. The works will represent 3D brushes that are inspired by his original sculptures along designs and characters from the universe of his works. The collection will be introducing a new and unique style to the world of NFTs. The collection will bridge the gap between physical and digital art.
"Like A Brush" NFT drop is very innovative. It introduces a dynamic burn mechanism to the collection. Upon three burn windows, holders will be given the choice to burn their NFT in exchange for a physical artwork of Durix. The innovative aspect of this is that the value of the physical artwork you can redeem by burning will be different at every window.
"Entering web3 as an artist is a very exciting journey for me. Being a contemporary artist creating physical art, bridging the gap between physical and digital art is a major milestone I want to achieve with my art.
I collaborated with with the most successful French basketball player of all time in the NBA and future hall of famer, Tony Parker.
111 unique NFTs will be created together with him and the profits generated by the sale of these will be entirely donated to his charity." - Durix said when asked about the idea behind the collection and what influenced it.
This NFT collection is certain to send heat waves all across the NFT community and the world of contemporary art. The collection is, in a way, a crystallization of the two forms of art. Durix plans for it to be a memento of what can happen when web3 and contemporary art come together to create artistic value.
Today, Durix's physical artworks are extremely valuable pieces, with many going for over $50,000. If you regret not purchasing his art when it was cheaper, then you might have the opportunity to rectify that with this new collection. The mint date is yet to be announced.

Hidden Level Helps Secure Large-Scale Public Events With Innovative Drone Detection
Unsafe drone overflight from the kayak launch area at 2021 NYS Fair
The New York State Fair is one of the nation's biggest public events, drawing more than 1 million people each year. As the Fair opens on Aug. 24, the New York State Police will again rely on Hidden Level, developers of sensor solutions for low-altitude airspace monitoring, to provide drone tracking services, enabling law enforcement drone mitigation response for any unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in public spaces.
Hidden Level provides the world's first low-altitude airspace monitoring service for both security and air traffic needs. The airspace monitoring service (AMS) is a cloud-based, scalable and cost-effective solution that integrates directly into virtually any video management software, security operations center or situational awareness platform.
"Airspace monitoring in public venues is only increasing in importance as drone technologies become an everyday reality," said Jeff Cole, chief executive officer and co-founder. "Our partnership with the New York State Fair demonstrates the power of a counter-unmanned aircraft system (CUAS) in enhancing public safety, and its value for any major outdoor event. We're pleased to be able to assist the Fair again this year."
Hidden Level debuted at the New York State Fair in 2021 and completed 18 full days of AMS across 5+ square miles of the Empire Expo Center, also known as the New York State Fairgrounds.
Over the course of the mission, Hidden Level's CUAS monitor tracked cooperative and non-cooperative drones, including multi-drone scenarios, and provided Fair organizers with statistics and debrief deliverables. Among the findings:
- Identified 211 drone events, excluding known New York State Police and cooperating agency flights.
- Several were multiple events from a single drone operator.
- Most drone activity occurs in evening hours, with consistent activity also occurring in early morning.
- Identified multiple drones flying above the maximum legal altitude of 400 feet.
Tracking potentially illegal drone flights illustrates the burden on collaborating public safety organizations and security teams. Hidden Level's technology assists those agencies by easily integrating with common security platforms to protect large coverage areas.
Unlike many other drone-monitoring solutions, Hidden Level is completely software-based with no expensive hardware to repurchase and update. Clients like the New York State Police receive quarterly updates from Hidden Level to keep systems equipped with the latest technology.
Following this year's New York State Fair, Hidden Level is finalizing updated permanent installation sites to provide comprehensive coverage of the surrounding Onondaga Lake area, St Joseph's Lakeview Amphitheatre, and Fairgrounds for year-round usage during public events and concerts.
"We are excited to continue our partnership with the New York State Police and give law enforcement the additional capabilities they need as drone usage continues to grow," said James Licata, Hidden Level's VP of Strategy & Partnerships.

Purple Star Studios’ Remote Location Movie Trailer Has the Internet Snowballing Into a Frenzy
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - August 15, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
"When celebrities Susan Kirkman and husband Jonathan Woods are persuaded by their manager and longtime friend to move to a remote location, paradise takes a very sinister turn."
Hit music and now film producer "CP Hollywood" and trending multitalented director Mark A Samuels, have shocked the world with their new movie trailer "Remote Location". The movie is not your classic bait and switch for paradise. Susan (played by Jasmin Cadavid, musician/influencer) and Johnathon (played by Thomas Rusley) find themselves being persuaded into what seems to be paradise. Upon arriving at their "Remote Location", they are greeted by stars that the world thought were dead or missing for years.
The movie progresses into a sinister and mind-bending suspense, keeping those watching it, feeling like they are far from being in the driver's seat. Ronnie Hilman (played by CP Hollywood) sends that shady chill down spines as he plays the villain.
When asked about the role of Susan, Jasmin said, "I loved working on this movie. I got to play a smart, strong and empowering role. The role really allowed me to showcase my acting! The cast, crew and the energy that is a part of this trailer is amazing."
Thomas Rusley said, "Playing Johnathon in the Movie gave me the opportunity to display a different side of me. People know me as Rell from the movie, Murder Gardens. I love that, but I want people to know I'm a great, versatile actor who appreciates every opportunity I get 100%."
Lexi Delarosa (who plays Tania, the friend and manager of the couple in the movie) says, "It was fun. I feel like my part develops slowly and makes people question whether or not I am playing a sincere character with concern for my friends or if I am a manipulative businesswoman that is just a good actress, being played by an actress," as she laughed.
According to CP Hollywood, "What is making the internet go even crazier: Influencers are sharing the trailer, thousands of people have submitted to the contest, 460+ news outlets have picked up the trailer, streamed over 100,000 times collectively and has been posted on WorldStar. It is also gaining attention on IMDB and has over 4,000 content engagements".
In theaters 2023, the movie was independently produced and is in the end stages of production.

Author Ray Burrus’s New Book, ‘Son of a Sandstorm’, is a Personal Memoir of His Life and Travels Along With the Insights He Learned...
Ray Burrus, a retired international sales executive and proud family patriarch, has completed his new book, "Son of a Sandstorm": a captivating memoir of his life and travels.
Burrus shares, "Son of a Sandstorm is a memoire about the early life of Raymond Burrus. When his daughter went away to college, they agreed to write to each other each week. As the letters progressed, he used his journals from his travels and started writing her his life story up to age twenty-seven. Those eighty letters became the genesis for this book.
Raymond served four years as an officer in the army. Upon his return from Vietnam, he decided to see more of the world, so he bought a one-way ticket to Frankfurt and traveled in twenty-seven countries in Europe and thirteen countries in Africa. He took a boat from Barcelona to Alexandria, Egypt, and then traveled overland to Cape Town, the length of Africa. He did all this travel over eighteen months and spent less than seven thousand dollars. He learned that there's an inverse relationship between time and money: if you need to be in Paris tomorrow for breakfast, you can do it, but it will cost you plenty; on the other hand, if you have infinite time to get to Paris, you can probably get there for free.
He gained many insights about life, travel, and the people he met along the way, which he shares in the book."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Ray Burrus's new book shares tidbits he has gained throughout his life of travel and what he learned from the people he met along the way. Perhaps his most valuable lesson is that or the correlation between time and money.
Readers can purchase "Son of a Sandstorm" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Covenant Books is an international Christian owned and operated publishing house based in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. Covenant Books specializes in all genres of work which appeal to the Christian market. For additional information or media inquiries, contact Covenant Books at 843-507-8373.
