Rose-Lynn Fisher /Topography of Tears
The Topography of Tears The Topography of Tears is a study of 100 tears photographed through an optical microscope. The project began in a period of personal change, loss, and copious tears. One day I wondered if my tears of grief would look any different from my tears of happiness - and I set out to explore them up close, using tools of science to make art and to ponder personal and aesthetic questions. Years later, this series comprises a wide range of my own and others’ tears, from elation to onions, as well as sorrow, frustration, rejection, resolution, laughing, yawning, birth and rebirth, and many more, each a tiny history. The random compositions I find in magnified tears often evoke a sense of place, like aerial views of emotional terrain. Roaming microscopic vistas, I marvel at the visual similarities between micro and macro realms, how the patterning of nature seems so consistent, regardless of scale. © Rose-Lynn Fisher 2013-2015 contact: RLFisher.mail@gmail.com Related:  Organisatie Ontwikkeling Algemeen

#CITYLOVINK #CITYLOVINK presenta: Scott Campbell (y el fin de una temporada) // Written on Feb 28 , 2012 // Arte, Tatuajes La colonia Roma tiene sus historias muy bien grabadas, de alguna manera podríamos decir que esas historias se encuentran marcadas como un tatuaje en la memoria de cada uno de sus habitantes. Una de esas historias comienza en Lower Haight, San Francisco, dónde hace 32 años nació un rebelde llamado Scott Campbell. Scott era el tipo que se juntaba con “los chicos malos” del barrio, y desde ese momento, su trabajo como diseñador comenzó de una extraña forma. No fue si no hasta en el 2005 que su talento lo llevó, después de cuatro años, a abrir su estudio en Nueva York (Saved Tattoo), haciéndolo uno de esos artistas de los que todos quisiéramos tener su arte en nuestro cuerpo. Como parte de la serie #CITYLOVINK realizada por el equipo de NOTTV, este episodio corresponde a la última entrega relacionada con el tema de los tatuajes. #CITYLOVINK presenta: Scrappy Uno

The OS Canvas – The Ready – Medium Organization design is hard. Whether you’re the CEO of a global corporation, the founder of a venture-backed startup, or a team leader inside one of the tens of thousands of companies that make our world turn, you’re up against one of the greatest puzzles ever conceived. We see evidence of this everywhere. Leaders in every industry tell us about the myriad problems they’re trying to solve in their organizations: We need to go faster. And we all know how you get these things. The trouble stems (at least in part) from the fact that we still look at organizations mechanistically. When faced with that level of complexity and uncertainty, we tend to oversimplify. But, here’s the good news: The problem isn’t your leaders or your people. The organizational operating system. In technology, we think of an operating system (OS) as the foundational layer between the hardware (e.g. your phone) and the software (e.g. your apps). Like our technology, organizations run on code. Everyone needs a boss.

Ces visages révélés derrière les photographies historiques “Behind Photographs”, l’ouvrage de Tim Mantoani, dévoile pour la première fois les photographes professionnels cachés derrière les clichés de presse les plus populaires que l’on connaisse. Une occasion unique de découvrir des femmes et des hommes de talent dont le visage reste le plus souvent derrière l’objectif. Des artistes qui, parfois au péril de leur vie, ont immortalisé des moments d’histoire que nous connaissons tous. Tim Mantoani s’est d’abord spécialisé dans la photographie publicitaire et a ouvert son propre studio à San Diego en 1995. À ses yeux, photographier est plus une mission d’intérêt collectif qu’un travail. Alors que les gens sont familiers avec la plupart des images qui suivent, y compris de nombreuses photographies auréolées du prix Pulitzer, la majorité ne connaît pas les photographes qui les ont réalisées. Parce que derrière chaque photographie c’est aussi le regard d’une femme ou d’un homme qui s’exprime, le regard d’un humain sur son histoire. En voir plus ?

Rounds | Ethan Jackson Projects Rounds – 2014 A Multi-Media Installation, in collaboration with Ethan Rose Rounds was a collaboration between Ethan Jackson and Ethan Rose at Ditch Projects in Springfield, OR. Jackson designed generative imagery of tree rings, constantly growing, cracking and decaying. In dialogue with Jackson’s generative rings, Rose installed a series of speaker arrays that hang in discreet locations across the gallery. Rose’s composition of inhalations passed overhead in combination with Jackson’s expanding anamorphic tree stumps below. The original gallery wall-text is available here as a PDF. Thanks to the Springfield Museum, The Oregon Arts Council, The Ford Family Foundation, and Ditch Projects fork and flower: wild herb gathering remember the crazy chai pear and chocolate pudding tart...? that's when the collaboration (though, in all honesty, we stick to calling it 'playing around', actually) between photographer extraordinaire christine benz and my humble (aspiring food stylist, ahem) self started. by now, we're already two days, several hours of hard, sweaty work and a couple more insights on working together on food into this project. it's been fun, and continues to be. but let me explain what it is that you're seeing here. for now, no recipes (obviously). but some pictures of me (utterly unglamorous, in mornign manière, with a totes naked face, ugh, why do i never manage to jump out of bed earlier when i'm having my picture taken...? what you're still going to see from christine and i: a wild herb foam soup with lady's smock (color blocking in a soup, literally. i'm positive my fashion forward styler friend ki will adore this), a fancy rustic nettle bread (yeah, ouch!) for now, though, happy easter!

Hierarchy of Opportunity Reactionary Solution Humans employ many subconscious techniques to avoid acknowledgement of problems. When issues materialize, our subconscious jumps to solutions to pacify our unease. Simply thinking of a solution isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you think you have an answer, think of its consequences. Take time to let the solution sink into your mind. Emotions: prideful, skeptical, insecure

The Color Of Genius: Saul Leiter Reading Time: 6 minutes Some people say that photography is easy, that anyone can do it. You just have to have a camera and the ability to press the shutter. I was not familiar with Saul Leiter before hearing Jeffery and Bill Wadman talk about him on an episode of On Taking Pictures. Saul Leiter was born in 1923 in Philadelphia to strict Orthodox parents. ith the help of his friends, he soon became a respected fashion photographer, shooting for magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. For the most part, his photography was not shown to the public or even his friends. A very humble man, who does what he does simply because he loves it; Leiter finds beauty in the ordinary. Sure, Leiter’s photographs are from a different age; Kodachrome is gone and the people in Brooklyn don’t look like that anymore.
