Clouding Around
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Developments in nanotechnology and planetary-scale engineering point to new possibilities for us to conform the global environment to our needs. These advances combined with a dream to make clouds snow ice cream have inspired a series of experiments that look at ways to alter the composition of clouds to make new and delicious sensory experiences. [...]
Peter Root, Artist
Sunday, July 19, 2009
Above: Landscapes in staples and bars of honey and almond scented soap. I don’t know anything about him, but his unusual take on landscapes is fantastic. To go to his website, click here.
Art & Brain Injury
Sunday, July 19, 2009
Imagine having a stroke, a severe brain injury or a tumor and suddenly waking up one day to find you’ve developed artistic talents to rival Picasso. It sounds impossible, but the brain is a mysterious organ, and sometimes, damage causes it to rewire itself in ways that reveal new talents even in people who could [...]
Legovation

“Electronic” Flower Art
Friday, July 17, 2009
Forget the notion of a reverent nature photographer tiptoeing through the woods, camera slung over one shoulder, patiently looking for perfect light. Robert Buelteman works indoors in total darkness, forsaking cameras, lenses, and computers for jumper cables, fiber optics, and 80,000 volts of electricity. This bizarre union of Dr. Frankenstein and Georgia O’Keeffe spawns photos that seem [...]
Two for One: The Objects and their Shadows
Friday, July 17, 2009
Artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster have taken piles of trash and turned them into interesting abstract artworks depicting people or animals. The piece above is called White Trash (With Gulls), it is comprised of six month’s worth of trash and two dead sea gulls. The image portrayed is a self portrait of the artists relaxing with [...]
Forced Limitations
Wednesday, July 15, 2009
Sometimes things happen that can really get in the way of maintaining a blog. I have discovered that pain and swelling are two of them. Also, Tylenol 3s turn me into psychotropic jello. How? Roller skating—that’s skating, not blading. And my first fall in over 50 years of skating, so just shut up! Please note: [...]
Perpetuum Jazzile & “Africa”
Sunday, July 12, 2009
Besides visual art, my other great love is choral music. From Gregorian chant to my favourites, Chor Leoni, to popapella such as this uplifting and irresistible version of Toto’s “Africa” by Perpetuum Jazzile of Solovenia. They all look so beautiful singing and knowing that their audience was in the palm of their hand. Their audience [...]
Clever Design/Concept in Interactive Fundraising
Sunday, July 12, 2009
When I began my artistic career, money was easier to get from government and corporations. Today, raising money for art creations (and not display) is very difficult, yet the artist who can succeed with some form of fundraising can create work free of a concern for the work’s market. Creative people can be as creative [...]
