Primal I Scream - D'Yer Maker
North Yorkshire at its picture postcard best - and that is real praise from a Lanc.
The Weather Makers is the first solo exhibition in Scotland by Canadian artist Kelly Richardson and is programmed as part of Dundee Contemporary Arts’ Discovery Film Festival. Richardson creates hyper-real digital films of rich and complex landscapes that have been manipulated using CGI, animation and sound. Weaving together myth and metaphor with scientific research and new digital technologies, The Weather Makers will present three large-scale video works alongside a new print series.
The exhibition asks the viewer to consider what the future might look like if we continue on our current trajectory of planetary pillaging and consumption, and why we have allowed ourselves to arrive at such a moment of global environmental crisis.
Mariner 9 (2012), Kelly Richardson
A 12-metre-long panoramic view of a Martian landscape set hundreds of years in the future, Mariner 9 (2012) presented in this partnership between Dundee Contemporary Arts and NEoN Digital Arts Festival, evokes the human search for life beyond our own planet that continues even as we damage or destroy entire ecosystems on Earth. This vast video work was created using scenery-generation software employed by the film and gaming industries in combination with technical data from NASA’s missions to Mars to produce a faithful artist’s rendering of Martian terrain, populated by the debris from centuries of exploration.
In Orion Tide (2013-14), Richardson presents a desert punctuated by spurts of light and smoke repeatedly launching into the dark night sky. The viewer is left to question what these rocket-like movements are; why they have been launched; and who or what they are carrying. They could be departing explorers searching for a new world or perhaps the escape of a group of planetary refugees, a mass exodus of humanity.
In Leviathan (2011), a 20-minute loop of footage shot on Caddo Lake in Uncertain, Texas displays the region’s unique bald cypress trees in their swamp environment. Filmed from a single vantage point, like a painting set in motion, Richardson has digitally enhanced the nearly monochromatic setting with strange yellow tendrils of light, undulating and twisting beneath the water, hinting at an undiscovered or mutated bioluminant life-form, or perhaps the aftermath of something altogether more disturbing.
Accompanying the exhibition’s large-scale video works will be Richardson’s latest series of chromogenic prints, Pillars of Dawn, which present images of an imaginary desert in which trees and terrain have been physically crystallised by changes in the environment.
As part of NEoN Digital Arts Festival, Kelly has also been invited to curate an exhibition of digital art making reference to both her own immersive landscape work and the festival theme of Media Archaeology. That exhibition will run in Centrespace in the Visual Research Centre on the lower ground floor of DCA, open from Sat 11 November – Sun 19 November 2017.
Richardson currently lives and works on Vancouver Island where she is Associate Professor in Visual Arts at the University of Victoria. Her work is held in many major international collections including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, SMoCA and Albright-Knox Art Gallery to the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, Arts Council Collection England and Towner, Eastbourne.
Her work has been selected for the Beijing, Busan, Canadian, Gwangiu and Montreal biennales, and recent solo exhibitions include SMoCA, CAG Vancouver, VOID Derry, Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, and a major survey at the Albright-Knox.

Following a couple of days trackside to start my October trip to Kentucky, on Friday afternoon it was off to Loretto for the tour of the Makers Mark distillery. They've made quite a few additions since my last visit in 2010 (although sad to see they haven't put my name on a building yet even after all the product I've purchased over the years:)), and the tour is still very good and definitely worth a stop in when hitting up the Bourbon Trail. Fall colors were right about at their peak, so after the tour grabbed a few slides of the very picturesque grounds.
Afterwards headed over to Lexington for the Auburn-Kentucky game on Saturday, which AU won 24-10. Trains, bourbon, and Auburn football made for quite a nice 40th birthday trip!

Highlights from the 2nd Annual Maker Faire 2018 presented by the Fountaindale Public Library and its Tinker Technoogy Troupe.
Recently opened in the town of Waimea, Omiyage Makers puts out ono-licious pies that can be bought in their shop or made-to-order. I didn't know they existed until I found their pies being sold in Ishihara Market just down the road, and it is their sweet potato haupia pie that hooked me in for good.
The shop has some weird hours: M, T (closed), W, Th, F (5pm-9pm) and Sa, Su (7am-3pm). Finally when I was lucky to stop in when they were open, the owner explained that the hours were like that because they still held main jobs during the day!
Items on their retail price list includes assorted turnovers and a LOT of pies. Apple, custard, chocolate haupia, coconut cream, lemon meringue and blueberry cream cheese to name just some of them. The quality is evident upon first bite and my fave is definitely the purple sweet potato haupia pie. Prices run from $12 to 17 dollars and worth every penny. They also had cookies on their retail list.

Maker Faire is the Greatest Show (and Tell) on Earth—a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity and resourcefulness, and a celebration of the Maker movement. It’s a place where people show what they are making, and share what they are learning.
Makers range from tech enthusiasts to crafters to homesteaders to scientists to garage tinkerers. They are of all ages and backgrounds. The aim of Maker Faire is to entertain, inform, connect and grow this community.
The original Maker Faire was held in San Mateo, CA and in 2013 celebrated its eighth annual Bay Area event with some 900 makers and 120,000 people in attendance. World Maker Faire New York, the other flagship event, has grown in four years to 600+ makers and 75,000 attendees. Detroit, Kansas City, Rome, Oslo, Tokyo, Newcastle (UK), and Shenzhen are the home of "featured" 2014 Maker Faires (200+ makers), and almost 100 community-driven, independently organized Mini Maker Faires are now being produced around the United States and the world, including right here in Portland.

Taking photos at the HAGENBECK ZOO in HAMBURG; GERMANY. It was so fun going with BINE & DANI to the beautiful animal-focused zoo in Hamburg. We saw some incredible exhibits that really focused on the keeping the animal in a comfortable enviorment.
We laughed at the baboon exhibit because a little baboon was putting a blue DALLAS cap on its head. someone must of leaned over and it fell into the exhibit.
Little did we think anything could top that until we saw a large male baboon playing with a LUMIX CAMERA that also fell into the area.
Baboons are great mimics of human behavior and he put it up to his face trying to figure out why the humans seem to be so facinated with this object. Talk about 'found object' photo op.
Going to the cotton candy and popcorn maker brought back memories for me. My first job was working at the San Francisco Zoo as such. Of course, I purchased a cotton candy for $2.00, such a deal. 'This is perfectly made!!', I exclaimed, and the young ladyl smiled. Yes, I had to take a photo with her. afterall, us cotton_candy makers stick together like, well, cotton candy..

Notes: Élisée Reclus (1830-1905) wrote his New Universal Geography alone during his exile in Switzerland. It is composed of 19 volumes illustrated in particular by the cartographer Charles Perron and published between 1876 and 1894
Originally trained as a painter and having also worked as a draughtsman and lithographer before switching to photography in 1849, Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), became a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.
