Kinetic Perspective - Juan A. Fuentes
Optical illusions that play with visitors' perception.
Inspired by the optical art illusions of the 1960s, Kinetic Perspective takes as its starting point an ever-spinning circle moving outwards and its illusory effect. In this way, the artist creates an abstract and immersive geometric shape, playing with the perspective of visitors by giving the impression of movement.
A row of eighteen illusions, each composed of two circles spinning in sync, gives the impression of a vanishing point at the eye level of visitors. Invited to actively participate and observe, the audience must move around to discover the patterns, glimmers and distortion, in which a hidden geometry will be revealed
Juan A. Fuentes' artistic line aims to awaken emotions and experiences in which the limit between what is real and what is not is blurred and where everything depends on the perspective of the spectator.
The festival of lights in Brussels
Bright Brussels, the festival of lights returns to brighten up the capital this winter!
Four evenings and three routes will take you on a journey to discover of some twenty immersive and poetic artistic works. From 10 to 13 February, the Royal Quarter, the European Quarter and the Flagey neighborhood will be illuminated by enchanting light installations. The festival will also feature a fringe programme, including evening events in the museums.
It's become a tradition for the lights of Bright Brussels to warm us up in the dead of winter and, best of all, it's completely free!
( Bright Brussels is a light festival, a fascinating route through the city consisting of a dozen light installations that are artistic, interactive, playful,... and simply captivating. )
Passed by last time in town and its changing to the Parliament Pub
on Queen St north east corner @ Parliament a few doors down.
By know means can I recommend or not never been...If you go let me know.
Going to upload a couple of experimental shots. Nothing wild, just messing with POV and perception. This is the viaduct at Croy near Inverness.
Same day, same flowers just a different focus. Thankful for the joy of a beautiful spring day, of seeing the light of the sun on the flowers and the green grass, to see the ripples from the wind on the water and to feel the warmth. Thankful for this gift of a camera that we can capture these moments and share with our friends.
This photo is a picture of Angels making there judgement over anyone and everyone. I got this idea on the way home today as the sky looked like the clouds where opening light to heaven so I decided to get my camera out and snap the sky. And then jumped onto photoshop and let my imagination run wild.
Here's the latest entry into the perceptions series! As a reminder, this is a series of manually edited photographs. Each photo is printed then edited with paint and a "3D" element. In this case I used a leaf that I found when I was a junior in high school. I knew I was going to use it for something someday and now all these years later I finally received a purpose!!!
C’est une exposition thématique, qui est le prolongement d’un livre publié en 2019, on peut y retrouver les plus belles pages du livre agrandies, entourées d’une centaine d’originaux de dessins (ce qui est très rare) et qui retrace l’évolution de la perception de Pierre Kroll sur l’environnement, le réchauffement climatique, la terre au sens large.
Caricaturiste incontournable en Belgique, Kroll est né en 1958 au Congo. Architecte et licencié en Sciences de l’environnement tout d’abord, il devient, dès 1985, dessinateur indépendant.
Depuis, on trouve ses dessins dans d’innombrables périodiques et publications, Pierre Kroll est le dessinateur attitré du quotidien belge Le Soir et de l’hebdomadaire Ciné-Télé-Revue. Il dessine en direct en télévision tous les dimanches sur la RTBF. Depuis 2015, il raconte son métier dans un spectacle d’humour qui remplit les plus grandes salles du pays. Il a reçu de nombreux prix et publie, chaque année, un recueil de ses meilleurs dessins.
Premier prix du Press Cartoon of Belgium 2006, 2009, 2012 et 2017.
Membre de l’Académie Royale de Belgique depuis 2016.
Les glaciers qui fondent, le niveau des océans qui monte, la pollution omniprésente, la disparition massive de la biodiversité sont autant de signes qui ne trompent pas : il est vraiment urgent d’agir... et d’en rire ! Soit l’humour nous permet de prendre conscience à temps du problème et nous encourage à changer les choses. Soit, foutu pour foutu, autant prendre notre extinction prochaine avec bonne humeur.
En 2019, Pierre Kroll a publié Des signes qui ne trompent pas aux éditions Les Arènes, une compilations de dessins sur l’écologie et l’environnement : ce qui inquiète, ce qui est en cause et ce qui doit changer… Certains ont 30 ans (comme quoi tout cela n’est pas nouveau), certains sont très récents.
It is a thematic exhibition, which is the extension of a book published in 2019, you can find there the most beautiful pages of the book enlarged, surrounded by a hundred original drawings (which is very rare) and which traces the evolution of Pierre Kroll's perception of the environment, global warming, the earth in the broad sense.
An essential caricaturist in Belgium, Kroll was born in 1958 in the Congo. First an architect and a graduate in Environmental Sciences, he became, in 1985, an independent draftsman.
Since then, we find his drawings in countless periodicals and publications, Pierre Kroll is the official cartoonist of the Belgian daily Le Soir and the weekly Ciné-Télé-Revue. He draws live on television every Sunday on RTBF. Since 2015, he has been telling his story in a comedy show that fills the biggest halls in the country. He has received numerous awards and publishes a collection of his best drawings every year.
First prize at the Press Cartoon of Belgium 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2017.
Member of the Royal Academy of Belgium since 2016.
Melting glaciers, rising ocean levels, omnipresent pollution, the massive disappearance of biodiversity are all unmistakable signs: it is really urgent to act... and to laugh about it! Either humor allows us to become aware of the problem in time and encourages us to change things. Either, screwed up for screwed up, might as well take our next extinction with good humor.
In 2019, Pierre Kroll published Signs that do not deceive with Les Arènes editions, a compilation of drawings on ecology and the environment: what worries, what is in question and what must change... Some are 30 years old (like what all this is not new), some are very recent.

"Cracked Perception" - 19/31
Are you afraid sometimes, that what you see might not be "reality"? Is there one reality after all? 'Cause we all see/feel/hear/smell the world with our unique senses.
This was a spontaneous experiment, but I like it.
Also I wanted to take a close up of my eye a long time ago, so here it is. What's your interpretation?
Isn't she a beauty? No, not the photo, this red-backed spider, Latrodectus hasselti. The photo is rubbish. What? Did you expect something better when I was lying on my back and peering up into a control box filled with valves, pipes, filters, wires, solenoids and three messy red-backed spiders. Think yourself lucky that I did this well!
We are all born lucky. The odds against our conception, birth, and survival to adulthood are astronomical. But we did, so let's get on with it.
How many times have I heard: "But you live so far away…couldn't you come here"? Yes, but it's just as far for me, and if you're whining like that, what motivation are you offering? Then there's the "Oh, no you have so many 'poisonous' things out to kill me". The latter might have a grain of truth. Could it be your whining that's motivating that emotion? I don't condone such thoughts, by the way, and we can explore that, if you like.
We have sharks: great white, tiger, bull. All can give you a nasty nip. Consider this: they are cosmopolitan species, not unique to this Great South Land. Could it be the habit of popping into the sparkling warm waters on golden sandy beaches that puts bite-sized temptation in their fishy way more frequently that if the water is murky, brown and frigid? No one will force you to come here and enjoy yourself. That's up to you.
Besides, horses, bees, domestic dogs and lightning kill more people than sharks. It's got something to do with their disinclination to come ashore for a snack. There are no extant predators that fill that role. No wolves, tigers, lions or bears. Okay, there are drop bears. You might get a concussion, a compression fracture of your vertebrae, or a nasty fright. I haven't seen one for a while. You should be safe.
Snakes? Arguably the most dangerous snake in the World is the eastern brown snake. Sea snakes are pretty bad too. But because you've decided to avoid the water, well, stop worrying about them. I've been struck at multiple times by brown snakes. Not once has any of them connected. I wouldn't be writing this if they had; possibly. One bit Bessie outside my door. With a bit of help, she lived. Dangerous? I guess. But you don't see one every day, just occasionally, and usually as they are slithering about on some mission involving a rodent they can swallow. Never has one hunted me for food, or attempted to swallow me. Don't think you can escape by going into the water. They are good swimmers too. Instead, stand still and wait till they go away.
Crocodiles, blue ringed octopus and stingers? See shark, above. Yes you might be stalked by a saltwater crocodile on land, if you are that clumsy that you repeat habitual behaviours, day after day, in the same place, and the salty is hungry. They can wait for you to do something dumb. The slow metabolism that enables that patience also means you just need to go somewhere cooler to avoid them. Oh, and yes, as you are already avoiding water: somewhere cold.
Mass casualty events? There aren't any active volcanoes anywhere you'd know. Ever heard of, err Heard Island? No, I guessed that. If you rank those that have happened, the massacre of our continent's original human inhabitants tops the list; multiple times. Ship wrecks are up there, and hostile foreign aggression, once; other times, not so much. The toll against POW escapees was bigger. Some floods have been deadly, and there's one nasty earthquake that hit a built-up area. That was ugly, and a bridge collapsed when a commuter train hit a bridge stanchion. A family member attended in an official capacity. That left many scars.
Our biggest civilian incident was a deranged individual with a semi-automatic weapon in 1996. Those weapons are banned now. And recently, there was another incident. In between? Nothing on the scale that wears the label mass casualty. Why? You might have to visit to understand that, and take note of the policy and practice which limits the likelihood of these things.
Here's some numbers about mass casualties. You watch the news. You've already seen stuff around the world. Here, we've had two events in 29 years. Every loss was someone, a person of equal value. They worked, paid taxes, studied, had aspirations, were part of the economy and society. We mourn them all. Just in 2025, this tragic year, there has been one event too many in a country of around 27 million lives. One per capita: 1/27,000,000. In a socially comparable country, there has been a mass casualty frequency of 1/875,000 people. Where would you feel safer? Thirty one times safer?
Back with the wildlife, we also have the nastiest venomous spider in the World. This isn't it. The Sydney Funnel-web is endemic to the sandstone country of the Sydney Basin. That's a big area! Yet almost as many people have seen a drop bear as has encountered one of these spiders. They can kill you, as sure as a drop bear can. I'd rather take my chances with the spider. The last verified death by envenomation by a red-backed spider was in 1956. They are so timid, they'll roll up and play dead if you poke them. I poked this one, and the other female here in this control box too. The male ran off somewhere; such is their bravado. I picked both of those girls up and took them away where I could not harm them, and let them go. My greatest discomfort was negotiating the return to vertical after lying supine to get this picture!
Perception and reality can be divergent.
Photography is THE POWER of observation and not the application of technology.
(KEN ROCKWELL's own perception.)
Some individuals hated his being straightforward. Personally, I dig this man. I respect each and everyone's way of presenting their own freedom of expression through composition, etc. It's a free world!

Gazing from my window one hazy afternoon, I saw this beautiful sunset giving awesome color to the clouds and the sky. I've wasted no time, just grab my camera went to the tennis court of the hotel (situated on the 3rd floor level) and waited for a few minutes to frame and capture this moment.
IMO, the patience paid off. NO HDR. Just cropped, one exposure.
Hope you all like it. VIEW LARGE..
Thanks, Have a great and blessed weekend everyone.

I'm a year older today too. HEHEHE!!!
A night out light painting with Erwin, but even before we started we had to go to one of the few dry locations because of course it started to rain. Still a lot of fun, so I created this multiple lens cap exposure with my custom built camera rotation tool.
