Some nice installation pieces. One I especially liked on breathing.

photo's with text removed

An interesting idea. Photo with text removed on left, the text which has been removed on the right. It's called "The Untitled Project."

interesting interactivity in website

Very graphic. Follow the projects link. Then, I'm not sure if I like the way you close each portfolio item. I don't think it's quite intuitive. It stays gray with the word "close" covering it until you move the cursor off the image. What do you think?

four photographers, same subject

"Three internationally renowned photographers were commissioned to divulge the story of centuries old borgen ('farm-castles') and churches. These are Machiel Botman (Netherlands, 1955), Andreas Gefeller (Germany, 1970) and Terri Weifenbach (USA, 1957). The commission was also given to Marco Wiegers (Netherlands, 1973), a local talent that graduated from Academy Minerva.

What binds the four photographers is their fascination with locations and their talent in luring a hidden atmosphere from them. Nature and heritage, be it in different ways, play a big role for all of them."

http://www.artshidden, subversive art on tv

"With the ultimate goal of involving the television audience, the GALA Committee placed numerous props and set pieces in camera's view, which were then broadcast to an international audience of millions. Although the artworks were not intended to subvert or parody the series, the characters and stories often provided an opportunity to create pieces which addressed topics like gender, infectious diseases, violence, environmental devastation and global conflict. The exhibition sidestepped editorial posturing and aimed instead to infiltrate and transform the medium, reinventing television with interpretive, interactive possibilities. Simultaneously, the GALA Committee moved public art into the most broadly communicative context possible."

I love these pieces. They are so beautiful and are functional.

a conch shell

There is an odd one of people on a bus. Which if you read about it is actually one corpse being repositioned again and again. The conch shell is very beautiful.

an interesting article on hyperbolic geometry

Ok. This one has a nice visual – the crocheted model of pseudosphere (the hyperbolic equiabvalent of a cone) – but I'm really posting this for you Linda because the article is pretty interesting.

This one is on another interesting online magazine called Cabinet Magazine.

born magazine is an interesting project which teams visual artists with poets. Nice.

The Rock Blooms

James Nehlsen GS
Department of Chemical Engineering
This unique semi-organic mineral structure is the result of a slow chemical reaction. The reaction occurs spontaneously between alkanethiols, which are simple sulfur-containing organic compounds, and lead oxide. Here, the oxide is a surface coating on a coil of metallic lead wire that forms naturally in moist air. The structure consists of layers of lead alkanethiolates, a stable compound that is solid at room temperature and has a distinct yellow color. The layers grow outwards from the surface of the wire as the reaction proceeds, curling into “petals.” But be careful, beautiful though it may be, this “flower” is toxic. The structure grows slowly upward as the wire is uncoiled by the growing petals, eventually filling the jar in which the reaction occurs. This structure took more than a week to grow. A less delicate but faster growing form of this material can be used to remove polluting sulfur compounds from gasoline during the refining process.

Driven
Anton Darhuber, Benjamin Fischer and Sandra Troian
Microfluidic Research and Engineering Laboratory, Department of Chemical Engineering
SECOND PRIZE WINNER
This image illustrates evolving dynamical patterns formed during the spreading of a surface-active substance (surfactant) over a thin liquid film on a silicon wafer. After spin-coating of glycerol, small droplets of oleic acid were deposited. The usually slow spreading process was highly accelerated by the surface tension imbalance that triggered a cascade of hydrodynamic instabilities. Such surface-tension driven flow phenomena are believed to be important for the self-cleaning mechanism of the lung as well as pulmonary drug delivery.
