Scott Anderson - Execelent Surialist Paintings

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:22:00 +0000

here we have some fabulous painting from the experienced artist Scott Anderson. The surrealist influences like Dali are quite visible but scot goes way further than a Dali style copy over. He brings his very personal sense in to the scene and captures these images with the touch of the brush. Truly a great revelation for the artistic world bringing painting back to the a more respectable scene. A true lesson of what is painted art and the revival of painting that bring us not just meaning but also the mastering of paining techniques colour control and composition. Now days anyone can make a painting but Scott Anderson shows us that if it looks like crap it is crap. Something that you could never say about his work.

a Tree House

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:31:00 +0000

Robert Harvey Oshatz design what can be considered the best tree house ever. It goes a bit further away than the ordinary tree house in the backyard. It was design in 1997 but the construction of this magnificent building only ended in 2004. The Wiliknson residence in the forest of Portland where the modern curves and lines blend in to the shapes of the the of the forest, by the use of organic materials. The light works are another fabulous achievement in this design. Definetly amazing, just have a look at this place because here most definitely images speak louder than words.

Description from the architect: Robert Harvey Oshatz

"A lover of music, the client wanted a house that not only became part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. This house evades the mechanics of the camera; it is difficult to capture the way the interior space flows seamlessly through to the exterior. One must actually stroll through the house to grasp its complexities and its connection to the exterior. One example is a natural wood ceiling, floating on curved laminated wood beams, passing through a generous glass wall which wraps around the main living room."

Its still amazing the level of creativity that comes from the realms of music in times like this where the mainstream music chokes the real art of music. Gladly the freedom of the web allows the true artist to get out there, to all of us because we deserve something better, something that truly inspires us.

Corpus - Human Body Museum - Netherlands

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:20:00 +0000

CORPUS is an innovative museum with inovative and inventive architecture. It is a journey through the human body during which the visitor can see, and hear feel how the human body works and what roles healthy life, healthy food, and plenty of exercise plays. CORPUS offers a variety of information and provides education and entertainment with this journey as well as a vast number of permanent and variable exhibitions.

CORPUS has been realised in a 35-meter high transparent building with the contours of the human body projecting from it. The eye-catching building is situated along the A44 highway between Amsterdam and The Hague.

Bionic Contact Lens

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 15:58:00 +0000

The fallowing article is from the www.readwriteweb.com website.

Your Cyborg Eye Will Talk to You

"Just as many of us are getting used to augmented reality applications for cellphones and digital cameras, Babak Amir Parviz and his University of Washington students are taking it one step further. The group is working on a human machine interface where LEDs are embedded into contact lenses in order to display information to the wearer. You heard right, in a few years your cyborg eye will talk to you. In an article with the IEEE Spectrum, Parviz relays the challenges of custom-building semi-transparent circuitry into a polymer lens roughly 1.2 millimeters in diameter.

Editor's note:

Says Parviz, "We're starting with a simple product, a contact lens with a single light source, and we aim to work up to more sophisticated lenses that can superimpose computer-generated high-resolution color graphics on a user's real field of vision."

For now, Parviz mentions that single pixel visual cues for gamers and the hearing impaired are already quite possible with the lens prototypes. The group has also experimented with non-invasive biomonitoring including checking glucose levels for diabetics.

Some of the obvious challenges of building an augmented reality contact lens include:
1. The Need for Custom Parts:Regular circuitry and LEDs are incompatible with regular contact lenses. Every piece of this project must be fabricated from scratch.

2. Physical Constraints: The group must attempt to fit transistors, radio chips, antennas, diffusion resistors, LEDs and photodetectors onto a minuscule polymer disc. Additionally, the team is required to control lens position and light intensity relative to the pupil. And finally, because the lens is so close to the corneal surface, the group must project images away from the cornea using either micro-lenses or lasers.

3. User Safety: In addition to protecting the eye against chemicals, heat and toxins, the lens components must be semi-transparent in order for the wearer to view their surroundings.

"We already see a future in which the humble contact lens becomes a real platform, like the iPhone is today, with lots of developers contributing their ideas and inventions. As far as we're concerned, the possibilities extend as far as the eye can see." And you thought the iPhone SDK was a tough nut to crack.

Scenes of Heated Conflict from the COP15 Climate Change Protests

Protestors in the front rank pinned in with nowhere to go

The noises that have come out of Copenhagen have not been harmonious. The word from inside the walls of the conference centre has been of rancorous deadlock, not a breakthrough, reached by world leaders trying to thrash out a deal to tackle climate change. On the streets, meanwhile, matters were more discordant still. Violent clashes between demonstrators and the Danish Politti have marked an otherwise bloodless event, with activists throwing missiles at police and their uniformed counterparts making brutal use of force.

December 14: Face-off between protestors and police

It kicked off on December 12 when almost 1,000 people were arrested after sporadic outbreaks of violence in the midst of a largely peaceful demonstration attended by as many as 100,000 people. Activists set off fireworks and hurled bricks, smashing windows, while police were accused of heavy-handed tactics – "kettling" marchers moving through the city into confined areas to contain them, and holding detainees in freezing conditions without medical attention, water or toilets.

December 12: 'Black block' of anarchists and other activists take to the streets

Writing in The Guardian, Emily Apple described her experience: "We tried to leave the kettle through an open apartment block. However, this led only to another road full of handcuffed people sat in lines. As soon as the police saw us watching this scene, we were also grabbed, thrown to the floor and arrested… Spirits in the steel holding cages were high and resistance was in the air. Some broke down the doorsof their cages and the large warehouse echoed to caterwauling and chants…"

And tension as demonstrators are surrounded by another group of police

On December 16 there were more clashes and over 260 arrests as thousands of campaigners marched on the Bella Centre hosting the UN climate talks – a venue into which environmental groups like Friends of the Earth were barred entry. Police confronted protestors who wanted to stage a 'people's assembly' inside the summit in a bid to 'Reclaim Power' but were beaten back by police, with demonstrators and others critical of tactics employed like the use of pepper spray and dogs.

One protestor voiced his view that "there are a lot of people here and we want actions not words". It seems to fall pretty close to the mark. When words do not seem to be working – so evident in the mired negotiations between wealthy and poor nations over emissions cuts at Copenhagen – people are more likely to take matters into their own hands.
