Noticia del día El llamado “árbol Emperatriz”, o Paulownia Tormentosa, más conocido como el árbol Kiri, oriundo de la China, es el emblema y razón de ser de una posible revolución natural: la “revolución Kiri” se propone salvar al planeta mediante la plantación de, al menos, un millón de estos árboles de características únicas. Porque el Kiri no sólo es capaz de prosperar donde otras plantas no podrían hacerlo, como suelos y aguas contaminadas, al tiempo que purifica los lugares en los que crece, sino que además tiene la particular condición de absorber diez veces más dióxido de carbono que cualquier otro árbol, y emite muchísimo más oxígeno que sus pares. Sumado a todo esto, su velocidad de crecimiento (desde el momento en que se planta su semilla puede llegar, en tan solo ocho años, a tener el tamaño de un roble de cuarenta años), lo convierte en un aliado notable, y hasta ahora impensado, en la lucha contra los efectos del cambio climático.

Cover Story: Bat for Lashes | Features Across 2006’s Fur and Gold and 2009’s Two Suns, much of Khan’s mystic brand of pop involved a tension between open-hearted sympathy and something more rogue, her guileless voice keeping the flights of fancy just earthward enough. She wants the new album to sound like “an inventor living in a lighthouse” somewhere on the English coast. Twist your ear the right way and you can sort of hear it: that salt-washed, weathered, mechanical, isolated, magical, guiding feel, looking to a man whose purpose is to generate beams of light as well as light-bulb moments. Khan wrote a song about a lighthouse keeper of sorts for The Haunted Man, though it didn’t make the final record. Hopefully she’ll release it one day, as the concept is bewitching: She imagined being the wife of Dutch sculptor Theo Jansen, best known as the creator of enormous, animal-like, moving structures dubbed Strandbeests. Eventually, the songs started to come, often arriving fully formed, within an hour.
Chrome Experiments - Arcade Fire The Wilderness Downtown Choreographed windows, interactive flocking, custom rendered maps, real-time compositing, procedural drawing, 3D canvas rendering... this Chrome Experiment has them all. "The Wilderness Downtown" is an interactive interpretation of Arcade Fire's song "We Used To Wait" and was built entirely with the latest open web technologies, including HTML5 video, audio, and canvas. HTML5 Canvas 3D engine renders a flocking bird simulation that reacts to the music and mouse. HTML5 audio plays music and keeps track of timecode. Sequence system controls and synchronises effects and windows to the timecode. HTML5 video plays film clips in custom sizes. Choreographed windows are triggered by the music and placed relative to screen size. Map tiles are rendered, zoomed, and rotated in a scripted 3D environment. Animated sprites are composited directly over maps and Street View. 3D sky dome is used to render Street View with scripted camera control.
