Video. Rongo rongo. Se conoce con el nombre de rongorongo a un sistema de escritura descubierto en la isla de Pascua en el s. XIX, tallado primordialmente con puntas de obsidiana y elaborado a partir de dientes de tiburón, en su mayoría sobre tablillas de madera. Hay autores que dicen que esta forma de escritura es la única escritura estructurada en toda Oceanía, aunque falta todavía un desciframiento fiable para comprobarlo. Los símbolos o los glifos vienen tallados a lo largo de ranuras hechas con antelación al grabado en los artefactos y son de una altura media entre 9 y 14 mm. Parecen representar gráficamente figuritas de seres antropomórficos en diversas posturas, otras criaturas de fantasía que se asemejan a las aves, a las plantas y a otros animales terrestres y acuáticos, objetos celestes, así como también objetos geométricos, pequeños anzuelos, entre otros.

Rongorongo or the Hieroglyphs of the Easter Island Tablets. Category:Rongorongo. Rongorongo. Rongorongo (/ˈrɒŋɡoʊˈrɒŋɡoʊ/; Rapa Nui: [ˈɾoŋoˈɾoŋo]) is a system of glyphs discovered in the 19th century on Easter Island that appears to be writing or proto-writing. Numerous attempts at decipherment have been made, none successfully. Although some calendrical and what might prove to be genealogical information has been identified, not even these glyphs can actually be read. If rongorongo does prove to be writing and proves to be an independent invention, it would be one of very few independent inventions of writing in human history.[1] Two dozen wooden objects bearing rongorongo inscriptions, some heavily weathered, burned, or otherwise damaged, were collected in the late 19th century and are now scattered in museums and private collections.
And 280 , have characteristic protuberances on each side of the head, possibly representing ears or eyes. Individual texts are conventionally known by a single uppercase letter and a name, such as Tablet C, the Mamari Tablet. Writing media[edit] NAFTA = Death: Artists Mark NAFTA's 20th Anniversary With Border Protest. (Photo: NAFTAmemorial.info) A group of artists marked the 20th anniversary of the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on New Year's Day with an art installation at the US-Mexico border that separates San Diego from Tijuana. The installation, which involves 20 black flags - one for each year that NAFTA has been in effect - falls into a long tradition of actions and art pieces that protest US immigration and border policies. The inauguration of NAFTA coincided with a dramatic increase in border patrol agents and the construction of a 600-mile border fence on the southern US border.
As the artists point out on their website, free trade agreements like NAFTA allow capital to cross borders, but not people. NAFTA intertwined the Canadian, Mexican and American economies, increasing inequality between the global North and South and adding incentives for migrants to enter the United States illegally. Time Travelers Aren't Using Facebook, Says Science. Detroit’s Plan to Sell City Art Faces Resistance - The Epoch Times. Works in the Detroit Institute of Arts could be sold to raise money to pay creditors in the city’s bankruptcy, but many, including the museum, oppose the idea.
Detroit’s emergency manager Kevyn Orr asked New York auction house Christie’s to appraise city-purchased pieces in Detroit’s collection, which is among the best in the country with paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, and Vincent van Gogh. Christie’s appraised the works between $450 million and $870 million. In its agreement with Detroit, Christie’s refused to testify in any future lawsuits. The threat to the collection, which some experts speculate could be worth more than $2 billion, has alarmed museum and nonprofit officials across the country.

A video featuring GoPro footage shot by an eagle (!!!) Soared to the top of Reddit's video page recently, delighting all who laid eyes upon it. Before anyone watching has the opportunity to shed a tear for the purple mountain's majesty, etc., though, a caption on the video mentions that this was shot in the Chamonix valley of France's Mer de Glace.
Is it animal abuse to weigh down such a majestic creature by strapping a camera to it?

ART NOT WAR was awarded the coveted “Best of Show” in Television Advertising for their ad “Backpage”. “Backpage”, written and directed by Laura Dawn, featured a dramatization of real testimony from a young victim of sex trafficking, and became a huge campaign moment for the not-for-profit organization, FairGirls.org who ran the ad.

Make art, not war: Veena Malik. As India-Pakistan bilateral relations continue to be under strain, Pakistani actress Veena Malik has said art remains the only bridge between the two neighbours.
“Today SRK, Salman and Amitabh are as big stars in Pakistan as they are in India. The only bridge which is still there between the two countries is art. Whenever someone says that send Pakistani artists back, then we should also understand that Indian films will also get banned in Pakistan as a result,” Veena Malik told during a visit to Kolkata. Asked to comment on Pakistani prisoner Sanaullah Ranjay, who succumbed to injuries earlier in the day following a scuffle with another inmate in a Jammu jail, she said, “It reminds me of what Gandhi had said – an eye for an eye will only make the world blind.”
Veena pointed out that with the recent deterioration in relations between the two countries, people to people relations had also suffered. “Whenever anything happens, they say send Veena Malik back. MAKE ART, NOT WAR! by *PurpleInk777 on deviantART. A Guardian guide to US government whistleblowers | World news. AP Photo Daniel Ellsberg Ellsberg, while working for the RAND corporation, made photocopies of a set of classified documents that later became known as the Pentagon Papers. These documents were a history of US involvement in Vietnam, and included numerous unreported incidents as well as information indicating the US government mislead the public about the war.
Ellsberg faced charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 and other charges including theft and conspiracy. The 1973 trial was dismissed due to the gross governmental misconduct and illegal evidence gathering.

But amid the publicity surrounding a provocative art project that creates "facial reconstruction" sculptures based on the analysis of DNA on cigarette butts, chewing gum, and other detritus collected from the streets of New York City, one question has remained unasked: is it legal? According to some readings of New York state law, artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg may have inadvertently breached a statute intended to prevent genetic testing of its citizens without their consent.
The project casts a spotlight on our expectations of genetic privacy – particularly given the uncertain legal status, in many jurisdictions, of the DNA we all shed into the environment. Dewey-Hagborg tested the samples she collected for genetic variants influencing traits like eye colour, hair colour, and racial ancestry.
Genetic surveillance Dewey-Hagborg says she wanted to stimulate debate about a coming era of "genetic surveillance" – especially by law enforcement. Louvre returns Nazi looted art. The Louvre museum has returned seven paintings to surviving relatives of Jewish families. The paintings were confiscated by the Nazi Party in the 1930s. Amongst the seven paintings being returned are four works that currently hang in the Louvre in Paris. Six of the paintings were owned by Richard Neumann, an Austrian Jew who sold off his collection at a fraction of its value in order to leave France.
The seventh piece was stolen in Prague by the Nazi Party from Josef Wiener, a Jewish banker. Each of the paintings dates from the 17th and 18th centuries. What binds the seven pictures together is that they were marked to go on display in an art gallery that Adolf Hitler planned to open in the Austrian city of Linz at the conclusion of World War II.

This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website. In the fall of 1948, Harry Truman barnstormed the country by train, repeatedly bashing a "do-nothing Congress," and so snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in that year's presidential campaign. This year, neither presidential candidate focused on blasting a do-nothing Congress or, in Obama's case, "Republican obstructionism," demanding that the voters give them a legislative body that would mean an actual mandate for change. We now know the results of such a campaign and, after all the tumult and the nation's first $6 billion election, they couldn't be more familiar. Only days later, you can watch a remarkably recognizable cast of characters from the reelected president and Speaker of the House John Boehner to the massed pundits of the mainstream media picking up the pages of a well-thumbed script.

Photo by Alan Azaria from Ha’aretz. by Tom Heneghan and Nicholas Vinocur from Reuters PARIS (Reuters)- Seventy European Muslim and Jewish leaders pledged on Wednesday to show “zero tolerance” to hate preachers of any faith including their own ranks, citing what they called rising religious intolerance on the continent.
Imams, rabbis and community leaders from 18 countries agreed to jointly counter bigotry against Jews and Muslims and combat legal threats to common religious practices such as circumcision of boys and the kosher and halal ritual slaughter of animals. The two-day meeting brought together Muslim-Jewish teams from around Europe to compare experiences in fighting religious prejudice and report on recent trends against minority faiths.
There have been several attacks on Jews in Europe this year, some from radical Muslims. Search results for 'dada art' Art 101: Meet the Neo-Dadaists.

A Scottish airport has backtracked on its decision to cover up a poster promoting an exhibition at the Scottish Museum of Modern Art that featured Picasso’s “Nude Woman In a Red Armchair” (1932). Apparently, the abstracted nude’s bare breasts and vagina were too much for some passengers, and the airport made the temporary decision to place a white vinyl cover over the offending parts before it permanently removed the advertisement.
In an interview with AFP, director-general of the National Galleries of Scotland, John Leighton, highlighted the lunacy of contemporary decency standards: All kinds of images of women in various states of dress and undress can be used in contemporary advertising without comment … But somehow a painted nude by one of the world’s most famous artists is found to be disturbing and has to be removed. The painting, created by the greatest modern artist at Château de Boisgeloup, depicts his lover Marie-Thérèse Walter. Diary of Fallen Star: Could the Dada movement have existed without the First World War? Please use specific art examples.
The dada movement was a reaction against everything that was going wrong in modern society, and aversion against its destruction was the central motivating force for this new type of art. There was a feeling that artists had gone mad and that the war was a product of rational, logical thinking. The Dada movement called for anarchy, irrationality, and following the intuitive. The Dada movement had a slim possibility of emerging without the dramatic events of the First World War. The movement was an intense and direct reaction to the spectacle and carnage of war, and the elements of explored imagery were expressed by the subconscious minds of the period. The Dada movement is now part of our art history more in spite of, than because of, its original intentions. Far from being opposed to basic ideas of art Dadaist strove to find new ways to make new art in new ways. Dada may have been short lived, but it went on to form the basis of many other movements of anti-art.
