Artists Sail 1000 Nautical Miles Collecting Plastic, Transforming it Into Works of Art
Alexander Groves and Azusa Murakami of Studio Swine recently sailed 1000 nautical miles, collecting discarded plastic as they made their way from the Azores to the Canaries via the North Atlantic Gyre. Onboard was a ‘solar extruder’, a machine the two designed and built that melts and extrudes sea plastic by harnessing the power of the sun. The two then created five beautiful works of art from the discarded plastic in a wonderful project and film entitled, Gyrecraft. Groves and Murakami explain: Gyrecraft is an exploration into maritime crafts which exists in every coastal or island culture around the world each with its own unique identity, utilising what the sea provides. Many of these crafts took place onboard boats during long voyages as a way of making vital repairs or passing the time at sea. Before examining the works below, check out the embedded video first to get a feel for the project and the end results. North Atlantic Gyre, 2015 Sea plastic, reclaimed mahogany, rope, brass

A Renaissance painting reveals how breeding changed watermelons
Christie Images LTD 2015 Look in the bottom right corner of this painting. If you've never seen a watermelon like that before, you're not alone. Stanchi's watermelon, which was painted sometime between 1645 and 1672, offers a glimpse of a time before breeding changed the fruit forever. Christie Images LTD 2015/Shutterstock James Nienhuis, a horticulture professor at the University of Wisconsin, uses the Stanchi painting in his classes to teach about the history of crop breeding. "It's fun to go to art museums and see the still-life pictures, and see what our vegetables looked like 500 years ago," he told me. The watermelon originally came from Africa, but after domestication it thrived in hot climates in the Middle East and southern Europe. That's because over time, we've bred watermelons to have the bright red color we recognize today. Of course, we haven't only changed the color of watermelon. Update: No, it isn't just unripe or underwatered And that process of breeding continues today.

Ricoh PJ WX4130 ultra short throw videoprojector getest | DISKIDEE
De Ricoh PJ WX4130 dlp-beamer kan beelden projecteren van meer dan twee meter diagonaal op minder dan 25 centimeter afstand van projectiescherm of muur. Wij hebben deze compacte ultrakorte-afstandprojector getest. Onderweg presentaties geven verloopt niet altijd in ideale omstandigheden. Bij twee of meer toehoorders is het lastig om de presentatie op laptop- of tablet-scherm te geven. Maar om een klassieke beamer te gebruiken is er vaak onvoldoende ruimte. Een compacte beamer met ultrakorte projectieafstand (“ultra short throw projector”) zoals de hier geteste Ricoh PJ WX4130 heeft geen van deze nadelen. Ricoh PJ WX4130 Twaalf à vijfentwintig centimeter afstand is voldoende om een beeld te projecteren tussen 1,22 en 2 meter. Mogelijkheden Het projectievlak hoeft niet egaal wit te zijn: er zit een correctie in waarmee ook geprojecteerd kan worden op beige, grijze en zwarte borden en achtergronden. Praktijk
