Battery, Baghdad, 250 BCE

2008-05-31T01:02:00.000-07:00

The Baghdad Battery is believed to be about 2000 years old (from the Parthian period, roughly 250 BCE to CE 250). The jar was found in Khujut Rabu just outside Baghdad and is composed of a clay jar with a stopper made of asphalt. Sticking through the asphalt is an iron rod surrounded by a copper cylinder. When filled with vinegar - orany other electrolytic solution - the jar produces about 1.1 volts.

There is no written record as to the exact function of the jar, but the best guess is that it was a type of battery. Scientists believe the batteries (if that is their correct function) were used to electroplate items such as putting a layer of one metal (gold) onto the surface of another (silver), a method still practiced in Iraq today.

The Eiffel Tower (French: Tour Eiffel, /tuʀ ɛfɛl/) is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the Seine River in Paris between 1887 to 1889 . The tower has become a global icon of France and is one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the tallest building in Paris and one of the most recognized structures in the world. More than 200,000,000 have visited the tower since its construction in 1889, including 6,719,200 in 2006, making it the most visited paid monument in the world. Including the 24 m (79 ft) antenna, the structure is 325 m (1,063 ft) high (since 2000), which is equivalent to about 81 levels in a conventional building.

Flocke, The Polar Bear

2008-05-13T05:36:00.001-07:00

Flocke is a polar bear cub who was born in captivity at the Nuremberg Zoo in Nuremberg, Germany on 11 December 2007. Flocke was taken from her mother, Vera, after zookeepers noticed unusual activity by Vera and also after another female polar bear at the Nuremberg zoo, Vilma, had eaten her two cubs on 7 January 2008.

Flocke received her name on 18 January 2008, after numerous submissions of proposed names by the public. Flocke, or “flake” (as in “snowflake”) in English, was the name first given the female cub by her zookeepers.

From egg to chick

Miroslav Tichý

2008-05-09T03:35:00.000-07:00

Miroslav Tichý was born in 1926 in Brno, Czech Republic, where he still lives.

In the mid 1940's Miroslav Tichý attends the Academy of Arts in Prague, where he concentrates on drawing and painting. His early works are distinctively influenced by Expressionism.

After the communist overthrow in 1948 the young and promising world of the artist begins to tremble. Not willing to subordinate himself to the political system and follow the dicdates of Socialist Realism, he soon becomes an outsider. Noticeably he fails to cope with the repression under the communist system , his resistance however never ceases. In opposition to the total integration of the individual into the ideologically tightly structured society he reponds with the negation of their social values. In the 1960s Miroslav Tichý, who is the son of a gentlemen's tailor, begins to neglect his appearance to such an extent, that his clothes fall from his body in rags. In his small home town he is increasingly being avoided as a derelict critic of the system. During this period he begins his photographic expedition.

The artist's tireless capturing of his immediate environment seems like an attempt to get a grip on a reality from which he has withdrawn and that is now rejecting him in return. In allusion to Plato's cave allegory, he regards the world as mere reflection and himself as its only conscious observer. Often Miroslav Tichý applies intricate pencil drawings onto the surface of his photographs and frames them with sensitively designed passepartouts, thus enhancing their profound poetry. Due to the yearlong storage in his run-down house, a melancholic veil of stains has layered itself upon the photographs. Miroslav Tichý works inhere an enigmatic and translucent atmosphere. In the mid 1980's the artist decides to give up artistic production: I had a norm. One hundred photographs a day. When I reached my norm, I stopped.

In his photographs the Czech artist renders a whole universe of female figures. He captures women strolling through the city, sunbathing by the swimming pool, chatting with neighbours, or going shopping. Other women are photographed from the TV screen. Sometimes they are unaware of the observer, sometimes unopposed, sometimes angry. Their ankles, faces and torsos dominate the composition.

In a nearly obsessive manner he takes close to one hundred photographs a day, equipped with archaicly looking instruments that turn out to be self-made cameras. Build from scraps, such as metal plates, crown caps, rubber bands, cardboard, scotch tape, and plexi glass, his awkward yet masterful cameras display an ingenious inventiveness.

Here are some pics made by him :
