Anish Kapoor has debuted “Butchered,” an installation in the North Sea created with Greenpeace.
Anish Kapoor has unveiled Butchered, a large-scale work created with Greenpeace on a Shell gas platform in the North Sea. The 39-by-26-foot canvas, drenched in a blood-red mixture of seawater, beetroot powder, and dye, cascades into the ocean as a visceral indictment of fossil fuel extraction. Kapoor describes the piece as a “visual scream” against the climate crisis, underscoring its disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities. Greenpeace singles out Shell’s record profits and vast environmental damage, framing the installation as both protest and demand for accountability.
A new study has found that big tech is spending a combined $45 million to protect its CEOs.
A new study shows major tech firms are spending over $45 million annually to safeguard their executives, with Meta alone accounting for more than half that figure. The company allocated $27 million last year to protect Mark Zuckerberg, far exceeding Alphabet’s $6.8 million for Sundar Pichai and Coinbase’s $6.2 million for Brian Armstrong. Amazon, Nvidia, and Apple also reported rising or shifting costs, while Elon Musk’s total remains unclear since, of his companies, only Tesla discloses its security expenses. Analysts link the surge in spending to heightened threats following recent high-profile attacks, along with growing hostility toward tech leaders.
