Brain Forest Quipu is a multi-part installation at Tate Modern made up of sculpture, sound, music and video created by Cecilia Vicuña. It is an ancient South American recording and communication system made from knotted threads. At the centre of Brain Forest Quipu are two sculptures that hang 27 metres from the ceiling. They are woven together using a range of organic materials, including found objects, unspun wool, plant fibres, rope and cardboard to evoke the look of bleached-out trees and ghostly forms.

I am reposting this because, suddenly, there is lots of interest in my posts and my album on Hedy Lamarr, the extraordinarily brilliant inventor of Spread Sprectrum Frequency Hopping. Her keen mind plays an extremely important role and is a key factor in what you do on your mobile phone, pads, and computers over the internet. I am not even mentioning the importance for our defense. I remember as a child thinking how beautiful she is...
Please look, in my Album, at her other portraits, and, if you are technical, at her patent application, which was ignored for many years by the Navy...
I didn't know of her top secret patent during WW II, a.k.a. WW2.
Hedy Lamarr was so much smarter than anyone in the Navy during and for at least a decade or two after The War, that's WW II of course... (^_^)
I possibly may have to exclude Admiral Hyman Rickover, after the war. Did you know that the beautiful Ina Garten, the fabulous Chef, and Engineer worked for Rickover before purchasing "The Barefoot Contessa," a delicatessen on Long Island? I will have to do a series on her. She used her engineering experience to perfect recipes for her Deli.
This is my salute to my flickr friend, Stephanie Comfort...
Stephanie, please do a series in Ina Garten!
Hedy Lamarr's patent was only twenty years ahead of the US Navy. This is a mainstay of current mobile phone communication systems.

Hedy Lamarr invented Spread Sprectrum Frequency Hopping to make a radio frequency control signal for submarines signal very difficult to jam. These techniques are part of every modern communication system. Apple's Bluetooth, is a possible example...
Hedy's role was unrecognized for many years!

Everything I have searched for was triggered by Stephanie Comfort's photo of a Vargas print of Hedy Lamarr www.flickr.com/photos/9679871@N04/11015949356/ in Stephanie's fabulous, painstakingly assembled set on American Jews:
