The Creative Loves of... Heart Zeena
Zeena of Heart Zeena is a printer and textile designer living in lovely South West London working from her garden studio at home. She creates printed treats for the home all of which are hand made and silk screen printed by Zeena or one of her helpers. I first spotted her work at the We Make Craft Fair in London back in December and so am really happy to have her here on Creative Loves this week.... Can you tell me about your work space? My studio is absolute chaos at the moment, but I like to think of it as organised mess! Have you always been creatively driven? What inspires you, where do you go for ideas? What is a typical work day for you? How do you approach each brief / project? What projects are you working on at the moment? What has been the most interesting or exciting project you've worked on? In terms of your work what couldn't you live without? What do you love most about what you do? What do you want to do in the future? Where are you happiest?

Artiste - Du street painting géométrique by Lang and Baumann
Sabina Lang et Daniel Baumann sont deux artistes qui se connaissent bien puisqu’il collaborent depuis 1990 sur différents projets. Parfois ils travaillent sur de la peinture au sol, sur des ponts, des murs, ils posent des concepts sur des façades comme pour nuit blanche, des stades de foot, etc … bref, leur art n’est pas contraint à un support, et à une technique.

Robots to revolutionize farming, ease labor woes
SALINAS, Calif. (AP) — On a windy morning in California's Salinas Valley, a tractor pulled a wheeled, metal contraption over rows of budding iceberg lettuce plants. Engineers from Silicon Valley tinkered with the software on a laptop to ensure the machine was eliminating the right leafy buds. The engineers were testing the Lettuce Bot, a machine that can "thin" a field of lettuce in the time it takes about 20 workers to do the job by hand. The thinner is part of a new generation of machines that target the last frontier of agricultural mechanization — fruits and vegetables destined for the fresh market, not processing, which have thus far resisted mechanization because they're sensitive to bruising. Researchers are now designing robots for these most delicate crops by integrating advanced sensors, powerful computing, electronics, computer vision, robotic hardware and algorithms, as well as networking and high precision GPS localization technologies.
