"Television screens are an opportunity to make a positive comment through media.
For example: what could our TVs tell us that would be helpful and reaffirming? " Hartman creates each piece with the magic of the mundane in mind. "Ordinary environments are my source of inspiration. How people create homes has captured me since I was a child," she says. "What we choose to save and what we choose to get rid of, what creates comfort and safety, what is sentimental, and what is a symbol of success.

Collected Quotes from Albert Einstein. [Note: This list of Einstein quotes was being forwarded around the Internet in e-mail, so I decided to put it on my web page.

So it's just a matter of finding a baffling/ridiculous/useless product and watching the Internet's sarcasm run wild.

By Steve Li Dieting is not easy.
If it were, we would probably all be thin. Since we are not, here are some tips that successful people use to lose weight so that others can benefit, too. Okay, for many people this is a big problem.

Using thousands of meticulously painted dots (“ten-ten” in Japanese) designer and photographer Miharu Matsunaga has been exploring the interconnectedness of people and places in these two recently completed projects. The first, a series of mottled portraits was completed as part of her graduate work at Tama Art University.

Matsunaga continues this organic, dotted exploration in Ten-ten wherein the dots are used to cover interior walls, vehicles, and other objects. Stunning work. (via spoon and tamago) Carbon Sink: What Goes Around Comes Around. A Controversial Installation at the University of Wyoming. Carbon Sink is a controversial new installation at the University of Wyoming by British artist Chris Drury. The sculpture, a 36-foot spiral of logs morphing into charred coal, is constructed from trees that have died from skyrocketing beetle infestations across the western United States.
The beetles population is usually tempered by cooler weather, but as global temperatures have grown steadily warmer due to climate change caused from the burning of fossil fuels and, ahem, coal, the insects have flourished resulting in decimated forests. Sounds like the perfect message for an art installation to me. However lawmakers in this coal mining state aren’t happy and veiled threats have been made to potentially cut funding to the university. For now the school is standing by Drury saying they support his artwork while not necessarily endorsing its message. (via lustik and climate adaptation) Julia Feld. There’s been no shortage of book and paper sculpture in this space lately but I’m making no apologies. St. Louis-based scientist and artist (scientist! And artist!)
