Maxims of Behaviour
Alexander Knox
Kinetic light installation, 2008
Royal Mail House, cnr of Bourke & Swanston Sts (Melway ref. 2F, F3)
Maxims of Behaviour plays across the distinctive 10-storey, 1960s’ facade of Royal Mail House. Set among the giant billboards and screens of the south-eastern corner of the Bourke and Swanston Streets, Alexander Knox’s kinetic light work can be seen each winter evening from dusk till late, until 2012.
The work features colourful abstract imagery that moves spectral-like across the façade, transforming the site into a dynamic entity, a living thing that inhabits the area. The imagery is produced from abstracted video footage of the city’s light, colour and movement, and it acts as a mimetic device that echoes and feeds off its surrounds. The installation becomes an integral part of the nightscape, complementing the floodlit surroundings, creating an organic synthesis of movement and light. The title of the work is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s poem ‘Phantasmagoria’, in which the author draws an insightful parallel between ghosts and us.
Some 88 multi-coloured LED lights mounted on the ledges of the building facade are used produce the moving montage of light. This matrix of computer-controlled lights projects onto the surface of the building, with each light effectively acting as a pixel. Each night the average energy consumption is equivalent to running a 2400W small electric heater. The LEDs have a lifespan of 100,000 hours; they are very low maintenance and run on green power.
The City of Melbourne commissioned Alexander Knox to make Maxims of Behaviour as part of its Public Art Program.

Not many people expect that spiders are caring mothers. Here one stands guard over a newly hatched nest of young spiderlings. Very interesting to watch, although I do have a suspicion that when they grow big enough, they'll eat the mother......
I'm sure my behaviour contrasts with many other peoples. I first saw the egg sack on the ceiling of my bathroom about 3 weeks ago. Been keeping an eye out for them hatching. Spiders come to no harm in my house....

Bad Behavior from Preston describe themselves as a six piece “balls to the wall” glam rock extravaganza and that pretty much sums this band up in a nutshell. The last competitive band of the competition and good lord, what a way to finish! Looking every part the Glam Rockers resplendent in their colourful outfits and make up, but it was really the front man, Phil Bailey, who not only took centre stage but looked the most avant garde a he did his level best to be the consummate front man. With three guitars on stage, the vocals were sometimes overwhelmed especially during 'Born To Party' but it was still a good performance overall. The bands cover was Alice Coopers' 'Man Behind the Mask', and although not one of the famous Cooper songs, it was nevertheless a good cover by the band. Bailey is predictably theatrical here which ties in very well with the bands image and although this is a proper band with serious musicians, there's nothing in the book saying that you can’t do it without planting your tongue firmly in your cheek! Their final number 'Apocalypse Now' was the best of the set with its great guitar riff that has the place jumping on and off stage. As the song reached its climax Bailey announced "This is the end!" and as the curtain falls on their performance, the band are greeted with generous applause as they take their final bows. What a great way to end the competition!
taken from my sea-kayak, in Tomales Bay, California. This sea-lion was making very strange noises from its snout, but I do not think its was due to my presence.

The offshore oil and gas industry is under greater scrutiny than ever before. Resource exploration and the associated technology required for economical extraction continues to be pushed to the limits due to the depths of water in which resources are found. This image is taken from a series of environmental scanning microscopy images that were undertaken for my PhD. I discovered that the seabed sediment into which hot-oil pipelines are laid has in fact, been biologically modified through the production of robust faecal pellets by burrowing invertebrates (worms!). This image shows diatoms adjacent to disintegrating faecal pellets from a core sample taken from West African deep ocean sediments, water depth circ. 1440m. These pellets significantly influence the interface shearing behaviour of hot-oil pipelines, and provides an example of how an interdisciplinary approach to research can produce exciting and important discoveries with direct applications to the industry.

Some 35 years ago at Slimbridge, I noted some interesting bird behaviour. A juvenile moorhen was searching for food and then offering it to some moorhen chicks. I guessed that it was probably an older brother/sister of those chicks, as the behaviour was tolerated by the adults. I’d never heard of this before and those I mentioned it to, seemed not to have heard of this behaviour.
A few years later I told the noted ornithologist, Malcolm Ogilvie, who informed me that he’d seen it while he was working at Slimbridge, and had (IIRC) written a brief paper about it.
At Martin Mere WWT this week I saw the same behaviour; a juvenile moorhen was working with two adults and offering food to 5 tiny chicks. Not always successfully - as the piece offered (in the photo above) was bit too large for those tiny chicks! However the behaviour was tolerated by the two parents, so again, I assume that the juvenile was from an earlier brood, and must provide some - if limited - practical help!
I mentioned it to some of the staff, but they were surprised to hear of such behaviour, and I wonder how well this is known. (I’m also interested to know if any other bird species behave in this way.)

I made an album cover for cactus island recordings.
This is an awesome compilation with beautiful music inside!
I'm very happy with this work, is very special to me and one of my song is on it.
Released: 16th february, close to valentines day ; )

Interesting to see this behaviour, a female on her web, next to her recently shed skin. There were also 2 males in close proximity too, apparently this is an ideal time for them to attempt to mate, as they are less likely to be eaten after mating, while she recovers from her moult.

Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle sub.sp.) YRWA (Setophaga coronata coronata)
AKA "Myrtle Warbler"
>>by white throat apparent in 1st photo
From Wikipedia under Myrtle Warbler.....
These birds are insectivorous, but will readily take wax-myrtle berries in winter, a habit which gives the species its name
Note: this differentiation within "Yellow Rumps" has flip flopped back and forth between Species & Subspecies over the years ...and could very well flip again...
*****
This particular individual could be an intergrade.Audubon'sxMyrtle.
Throat feature wraps around to towards back of auriculars...but auricular dark line not that strong
Winter plumages and juvies can be really tricky...and we have many intergrade birds out here,during migration
if you ever get close to a human
and human behaviour
be ready be ready to get confused
there's definitely definitely definitely no logic
to human behaviour
but yet so yet so irresistible
and there's no map to human behaviour
they're terribly terribly terribly terribly moody
then all of a sudden turn happy
but, oh, to get involved in the exchange
of human emotions
is ever so ever so satisfying
and there's no map
and a compass wouldn't help at all.-
