http://toysandtechniques.blogspot.com/ (first 4 photos from lastfm, last one from Continuo .) So much admiration and respect for the work of Hildegard Westerkamp. Truly one of our great sound adventurers, right up there with Ruth White and Daphne Oram. Born in Germany and now living and teaching in Canada, Westerkamp was a member of the dictaphone-wielding World Soundscape project with R.

In 1932, according to an AP wire story which ran in several newspapers, including places as far afield as Sarasota, Florida and Spokane, Washington, Robert Harris, a negro and leader of a religious order with a membership of “about 100 negroes in Detroit” confessed to the brutal murder of James Smith, also a negro. Harris admitted that “he crushed Smith’s head with the rear axle of an automobile, then stabbed him through the heart.” Robert Harris apparently dragged Smith to “an improvised altar” in his home to finished him off. Detroit in the late 1920s and early 1930s had a problem with religious cults. Three years earlier, on a July 4th weekend, not far from where Harris killed Smith, Paul “Benny” Evangelista, known as a “Divine Prophet” was murdered along with his wife and four children. http://dulltooldimbulb.blogspot.com/

Similarities - a set on Flickr

Albert Einstein once said, “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The pairs of images in this "Similarities" set are similar visually in one way or another. They are presented without judgement as to the motives of their creators. The viewers of the pieces can form their own opinion(s) about what they see. Some are "accidents": The creator of the similar piece had no knowledge of the original. Examples would be the 1982 Rafal Olbinski / New Pornographers posters and the Idea magazine cover / Okkervil River poster.

A fellow creator recently sent me this video of a fascinating escapement mechanism he has designed and constructed in wood. It incorporates oscillating gears and creates a wonderfully rhythmic sound. This neat structure is created by Dolf Perenti. He has incorporated an adjustable pedulum in the design to allow for fine tuning of the mechanism. My work is also based on creative applications of escapement mechanism design. This example is an excellent and clear demonstration of the parts of an escapement and good viewing for those people trying to understand the concept.

25 Abandoned Yugoslavia Monuments that look like they're from the Future | Crack Two

These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place (like Tjentište, Kozara and Kadinjača), or where concentration camps stood (like Jasenovac and Niš). They were designed by different sculptors (Dušan Džamonja, Vojin Bakić, Miodrag Živković, Jordan and Iskra Grabul, to name a few) and architects (Bogdan Bogdanović, Gradimir Medaković...), conveying powerful visual impact to show the confidence and strength of the Socialist Republic. In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their "patriotic education." After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.

Facteur Céleste: point de travers

http://facteurceleste.blogs.com/facteurceleste/2008/01/lenvers-et-lend.html Lausanne, Musée de l'Art Brut , exposition L'ENVERS ET L'ENDROIT , extrait du dépliant (il n'y a pas eu de catalogue) : Broderie, couture, tapisserie, tricot, dentelle, crochet. Les travaux d’aiguille, activités traditionnellement dévolues aux femmes, les ont assujetties au modèle à suivre, au canevas et au si bien nommé patron. Inféodées à ces tâches domestiques, elles y ont sacrifié leur indépendance d’esprit et leur liberté créatrice. Jeanne Tripier, Madge Gill, Agnès Richter ou Rosa Zharkikh font voler en éclats ces principes ancestraux et semblent bel et bien contester cet asservissement par leurs audacieuses et prodigieuses créations.
http://pelintezer.blogspot.com/search/label/darning%20sampler I thought this to be a quite interesting way of presenting and preserving a darning sampler. Surely, there is no way I could know if this was done by its owner or later by one of the family members. May be this is very normal to a German lady and is mundane.

Les saisons La vie que nous menons aujourd’hui n’est plus aussi étroitement liée aux rythmes naturels que l’était celle de nos ancêtres. Néanmoins, nous restons sensibles à la nature. Celle-ci influence nos idées sur les couleurs, même si nous n’avons pas toujours conscience de cette influence.
