A Wooden Mirror

Interactive artist, Danny Rozen, has done just this, creating a mirror out of 830 wood blocks - but would you put one on your wall?

a tiny camera gathers light and shape data, before sending it to a computer that processes it and uses hundreds of tiny electric motors to shift the wood blocks into the image in front of the device. Subtle gradations of shade are achieved by both the natural grain of the wood and the angle at which they are displayed, casting shadow if necessary.

The result is a sort of ghostly image, imprinted upon the wooden pixels like a haunted trace and just like a real mirror the image moves in real time

By using a naturally unreflective surface to create reflections, Rozen highlights not only the human beings incredible capacity for technical accomplishment, but the fact that every object in the world might reflect, in some sense, the image of those who have crafted, used and sold it.

Research by University of Arizona graduate student Catherine Neish suggests this water may react with organic compounds in Titan’s atmosphere to create complex molecules similar to those on the early Earth.

Engineer becomes successful artist after stroke rewires his brain

clipper's remarks: Desperately looking for something to relieve his boredom but with little strength to perform everyday tasks, he picked up a pencil and started doodling on paper.

'I just started pencilling these abstract patterns,' he said. 'I wasn't actually drawing anything, just letting my hands do whatever my brain was telling them.

'I couldn't hold the brush properly yet I just had these urges to draw. It was bizarre because before the stroke I'd never been the arty type. I hated it in school.'

Doctors convinced the abstract musings were the result of a rewiring of the brain encouraged Ken to develop his new found hobby.

'My doctor told me following a stroke your brain usually rewires itself to avoid the damaged bits and often leads to discovering hidden talents,' he said.

Bachelor Ken started transferring his work to computers and within months had become an expert in digital imagery and had even created his own software.

Ken Walters suffered multiple spine fractures and massive internal injuries when he was crushed against a wall by a fork lift truck when a driver lost control.

The horrific accident left him wheelchair-bound and jobless and triggered a 19-year depression. Two life-threatening heart attacks deepened his gloom.

And when things looked like they couldn't get any worse, Mr Walters suffered a stroke at his home in 2005.

But incredibly the cerebral haemorrhage turned out to be an astonishing piece of good fortune.

Now, after his early doodles developed into advanced digital images, Mr Walters has created his own software and been snapped up by computer giant EA games at the age of 51.

Mr Walters has already netted a cool £30,000 from his back bedroom creativity.

'Then I had the stroke and this passion for art just came out from nowhere.

Now I wouldn't change my life for anything.'

And now I've found the biggest passion I've ever had in my life. It's remarkable.

More Americans held as China steps up scrutiny

BEIJING (Reuters) - At least eight American blogger-activists and several other foreigners have been detained in Beijing as the government intensifies a crackdown on pro-Tibetan protests in the home stretch of the Olympics, rights groups said on Wednesday.

Students for a Free Tibet earlier said authorities detained five self-styled "citizen journalists" who were in Beijing to promote Tibetan freedom on Tuesday. The New York-based group said activist-artist James Powderly had also been nabbed.

Later on Wednesday, the group said four more protesters, including two Americans and a British national, were also detained after unfurling a Tibetan flag outside the National Stadium, or "Bird's Nest."

The Beijing Olympics have not been dogged by the widespread demonstrations that authorities had feared. Several protesters advocating for Tibet independence have nonetheless managed to breach tight security, in one case hanging a "Free Tibet" banner outside the headquarters of the state broadcaster.

Artist of Light

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:43:36 GMT

clipped by: Yafi07
clipper's remarks: This is about the extraordinary artist, Harold Hitchcock, who at the age of 83 is still painting every day. He speaks about the importance of light and listening within

Clip Source: ykrandall.wordpress.com

The true function of the arts is to guide man towards his true destiny, towards a true understanding of himself and his inner nature. As we advance on the evolutionary scale, so must we proclaim that state of spiritual realization we have grasped or comprehended through whatever medium we may choose, rather like a bridge to help other people. The artist must cut across the spirit of the age. It is not his function to reflect the conditions of the age…but to follow the unmistakable voice within—the light that should be made known… My belief is that there is one over-riding creator, one supreme creator, that pervades everything— inanimate things, nature, as well as man himself. And it’s simply a question of having the courage to completely surrender to that, and to lead a good life as far as is possible, so that one can develop inwardly. It’s all a question of receiving what we feel inwardly”

How to reanimate the music business

How to reanimate the music business

Producing music is cheaper than ever and yet, as customers, we still don’t get personalized track listings. Would you like to get individual entertainment bundles from every artist. I would.

As marketers, we could bypass major parts of the CD promotion and distribution budget into the live-entertainment and live-advertising budget.

- How can we broadcast every show live from every artist? Manage subscribers? Charge?
