Skinner is more than just an artist who paints psychodellic images of metal band mayhem, he is an event, a personality, a one-stop-shop of the super rad. It is within this personality that we begin to understand Skinner's work, and the detail, time, and focus he puts into everything he produces. We sat down with the artist to talk about his new show at The Shooting Gallery entitled "The Fragile Art of Existence" which explores a new place in the Skinner's body of work.

The National Japanese American Memorial is on Louisiana Avenue NW below D Street in Lower Senate Park in Washington, D.C.
I had just learned of the existence of this memorial a few days before, and happened to put it into my itinerary, by coincidence, on Veterans' Day 2020.
As you see, it was a cold, rainy day. The fellow you see in the picture was there to sweep up al the leaves...also as you can see...in preparation for a ceremony later in the day (which I unfortunately couldn't return in time to attend). I'm also sad to say I didn't catch the man's name, which truly is a pity. He was a very pleasant, informative guy. He's from Hawai'i, but of Japanese descent, so this memorial is very personal to him. He taught me one thing about this memorial which I otherwise wouldn't have deduced from what I saw or knew about the treatment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
First for the slightly more obvious things (or details on the etchings that are hard to read). On 19 February 1942 (73 days after entering the war), President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Order 9066, which authorized work camps. What these were (in the most polite terms) were prisons, but specifically for Japanese-Americans on the west coast of the U.S. (In the most pessimistic terms, they weren't quite concentration camps, to my knowledge, but they weren't exactly relaxing spa getaways.) It basically gave carte blanche to round up American citizens to put into prisons simply because they were of Japanese heritage.
Now, as you look at the curved wall of this memorial, you'll see place names on the wall with numbers. These were the names of the interment camps with the number of American citizens imprisoned there. (If I heard correctly, this gentleman said he had been to every one of the sites here; some of them are only marked by a very small plaque in a field. Others -- Tule Lake, Manzanar, Minidoka -- are now National Historic Sites/National Monuments administered by the NPS. As much as I love visiting NPS sites, I haven't been to any of those three yet. I think Manzanar is the most "maintained" of the three.) The cranes that you see in the center of the memorial are held down by barbed wire and represent the Americans held against their will here being trapped by barbed wire.
The one thing I never would have inferred was the meaning of the pond with the rocks in it. I don't recall if the water has specific meaning, but the five rocks represent the five generations of prisoners who were interred at the camps.
Also at this memorial are quotes from some of the interred, President Reagan, and a few others. The names of the interred are etched on the wall as you enter.
I'm fortunate for having had the chance to see this memorial, and even more so for having had the luck to meet this gentlemen there. If you happen to visit Washington, D.C., this is definitely a place you can squeeze in, even if it's not a "major" site, as it's just a stone's throw from the Capitol.

Bioz, a new look for motor for existence science experiments, needs to lower the time it can take scientists to thumb by way of thousands of science posts printed on the web and get them appropriate to the findings relevant to their look for.
The Palo Alto startup does this by presenting up ...

Interwoven Existence is the piece that names the exhibition and frames the space for the display of four other pieces. It features a transformative sensory space covered entirely with reeds directly sourced from the Tai Lake in Suzhou, China. Some of these reeds, equipped with sensors and motors, interact, and respond to the audience's presence. This is underscored by a four-channel soundscape with performative field recordings at the lake, echoing the resilient pulse of nature.
