The piece, called\u00a0<em>Spot\u2019s Rampage<\/em>, is meant as a commentary on the potential violent use of the technology. The company behind the robot, Boston Dynamics, is none too pleased with the stunt. They say their terms prohibit violent uses of the robot, but so far, they have been unable to wrest control of the machine from MSCHF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Study Claims Museums Are the Safest Indoor Activity \u2013<\/strong> Researchers at the Berlin Institute of Technology claim that visitors to museums and theaters have a far lower risk of catching COVID-19 than those to other indoor venues including supermarkets, restaurants, and offices. A study comparing the different indoor environments took into account the length of stay, airflow quality, and type of activity. It found that museums limited to 30 percent occupancy that require visitors to wear masks pose a lower risk than the other locations examined, including public transport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>British Investor Named in Philbrick Case \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>British entrepreneur Peter Klimt has been roped into the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.atelierauction.com\/globalupdates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ongoing legal saga<\/a> surrounding disgraced art dealer Inigo Philbrick. Klimt has asserted a 50 percent interest in a 1994 Rudolf Stingel painting that is the subject of another claim from Athena Art Finance. The property tycoon, whose business went bust during the 2008 financial crisis, invested $1 million in the painting. It is one of a number of works that Philbrick is said to have sold multiple times to different parties, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ART MARKET<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>White Cube Launches Secondary Market Initiative \u2013<\/strong> White Cube launching a new initiative called Salon in which it will show individual secondary market works for sale in month-long viewing room online.
