Alfred 23 Harth’s guiding principle of "using materials in given situations" acquires a distinctive folio in the body of work created at and around his LaubhuetteStudio Moonsun, located strikingly close to the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea. This principle—rooted in responsiveness to context, chance, and the found object—shapes both the physical and conceptual dimensions of his art and music. The studio’s position in a borderland saturated with history and tension offered Harth a topography where everyday realities and deep time intermingle, providing a rich spectrum of inspiration and artistic challenge.

 

His sculptural and visual motifs during these years often drew on the militarized landscape: the labyrinth of schützengräben (trenches) and the winding Imjin river, their presence echoing both geopolitical anxiety and the rhythms of nature. Yet Harth’s palette extended well beyond the artefacts of conflict; his seasonal exploration of the rice fields yielded another kind of material resonance. Autumns would uncover fragments of celadon ceramics—shards from the Joseon dynasty, some several centuries old—unearthed by farmers and lying quietly embedded within the fields. These remnants, bearing the weight of history and the grace of lost craftsmanship, became more than archaeological curiosities. Integrated into his work, Harth transformed them into carriers of memory and witnesses to impermanence, responding to their shapes, textures, and stories much as he would to a sonic occurrence or a musical accident.

 

For Harth, this meticulous, improvisational attention to "given situations" means treating landscape, found objects, and historical artefacts not as backdrops but as generative elements within an evolving artistic dialogue. Whether dialoguing with the hard lines of defensive architecture or the delicate contours of celadon shards, his work at LaubhuetteStudio demonstrates a sensitive equilibrium between responding to place and intervening within it: art as a reciprocal act, grounded in contingency and attuned to the subtleties of its surroundings.

The Aftermath Dislocation Principle (ADP) is a trilogy of artworks by Jimmy Cauty on a nationwide tour across the UK.

 

Each artwork is a 1:87 scale model housed in a shipping container.

 

The models are viewed through tiny observation ports in the sides of the containers.

 

ADP 1 is a 40ft container that houses a vast post-apocalyptic landscape populated only by the police and media crews. The landscape is set somewhere in Bedfordshire and is known as 'Old Bedford'.

The Peter Principle is a concept in management theory in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on their performance in their current role rather than on their abilities relevant to the intended role. The Peter Principle book suggest that people will tend to be promoted until they reach their "position of incompetence".

 

I took three bracketed exposures of one of the skyscrapers in Central, Hong Kong, and processed them into a soft HDR photo to enhance the micro-contrast. It was a grayish day, and the building is gray-blue, so the photo looks kind of mono-chrome.

This is car 5 of the Great Orme Tramway leaving Victoria Station in Llandudno, Wales. The tramway, which opened in 1902, is a cable-hauled system and the only one of its kind operating on public roads in Great Britain. The tram climbs 1,500 metres up the Great Orme Country Park and Nature Reserve from Victoria Station.

 

The journey begins at Victoria Station, 600 metres from Llandudno's pier, and ascends through the winding roads of the Great Orme. Passengers change trams at the Halfway Station to continue to the summit. The tramcars have been lovingly restored to maintain the experience of traveling over 100 years ago. Each car is named after a saint. Car 5 is St. Silio. The tramway has to operate in two sections due to the steepness of the terrain. The lower section climbs the Old Road, while the upper section is less steep. The tramcars are equipped with an automatic brake system for safety, which is tested annually. At the summit, visitors can explore the Great Orme Country Park Visitor Centre, enjoy picnics, visit the Bronze Age Copper Mines, or take walks. The Great Orme Tramway is a significant historical and tourist attraction, offering scenic views and a unique travel experience.

 

The Great Orme Tramway (Welsh: Tramffordd y Gogarth) is a cable-hauled 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) gauge tramway. Open seasonally from late March to late October, it takes over 200,000 passengers each year. From 1932 onwards it was known as the Great Orme Railway, reverting to its original name in 1977.

 

Whilst the street running section resembles the better-known San Francisco cable cars, its operation is quite different in that it adheres to the funicular principle where the cars are permanently fixed to the cable and are stopped and started by stopping and starting the cable, unlike San Francisco where cars attach to, and detach from, a continuously running cable. As such, this section's closest relatives are Lisbon's GlĂłria, Bica, and Lavra street funiculars.

 

Llandudno Victoria tram stop is the lower terminus of the Great Orme Tramway, situated in the centre of the town of Llandudno. Llandudno railway station, the town's main line station, is a 15-minute walk from Victoria.

 

Trams run approximately every twenty minutes, increasing to every ten minutes in peak hours. Trams run seasonally only, from late March to late October.

I took this shot flying Swiss shortly after takeoff from Zurich airport in 2014.

 

Did you ever wonder why there are sometimes clouds over aircraft wings? This can happen when the temperature is near dew-point, e.g. near 100% humidity. The wing of the aircraft is designed so that air flows faster over the wings than under the wing. Based on Bernoulli's principal, faster flowing air has a lower pressure, which means that air flowing over the wing pulls the wing up. Air can hold less water at lower pressure, e.g. it is possible that air flowing over the wings crosses the dew-point temperature. If this is the case, air moving over the wing condenses, and then immediately dissipates behind the wing. Because the process is continuous it appears as if there is a stationary "cloud" over the wing, even tough the air is actually moving at hundreds of miles per hour. I find this fascinating.

The Talos Principle

Reshade / Console commands

The idea that the Supreme Principle is both Absolute Reality and, for that very reason, Infinite Possibility, can suffice unto itself, for it contains everything, notably the necessity for a universal Manifestation.

 

From a less synthetic point of view, however, and one closer to Maya, we may envisage a third hypostatic element, namely the Perfect Quality; being the Absolute, the Principle is thereby the Infinite and the Perfect.

 

Absoluteness of the Real, infinitude of the Possible, perfection of the Good; these are the "initial dimensions" of the Divine Order.

 

This order also comprises "modes": Wisdom, Power, Goodness, that is, the content or the substance of the Supreme Principle consists in these three modes and each of them is at once Absolute, Infinite and Perfect; for each divine mode participates by definition in the nature of the divine Substance and thus comprises absolute Reality, infinite Possibility and perfect Quality.

 

In Wisdom, as in Power and as in Goodness, there is in fact no contingency, no limitation, or any imperfection; being Absolute, these modes cannot not be, and being Infinite, they are inexhaustible; being Perfect, they lack nothing.

 

The Principle not only possesses "dimensions" and "modes”, it also has degrees, and this in virtue of its very Infinitude, which projects the Principle into Relativity and thus produces, so to speak, this metacosmic "space" which we term the Divine Order. These degrees are the divine Essence, the divine Potentiality and the divine Manifestations; or Beyond-Being, Being (the Creator) and the Spirit (the existentiating Logos) which constitutes the divine Center of the total cosmos.

"The principle of the Gothic architecture is infinity made imaginable." Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

 

In the "Ile de la CitĂŠ" of Paris, bordered by the river Seine, is located one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in the world. A couple of centuries, from the middle of the XII to the middle of the XIV, were needed to finish this temple dedicated to the Virgin Mary (hence the name "Notre Dame" or Our Lady), which has become the most famous Gothic cathedral in France and maybe of the whole world. The history of Notre Dame has always been linked to that of the French capital, and its more than 8 centuries have seen events as momentous as the French Revolution (during which it was converted into a "Temple of Reason"), the coronation of Napoleon or the bombings of World War II (during which it suffered damages that led to remove the stained glass windows to protect them).

Nowadays, its visit is almost mandatory in a trip to Paris, since its incredible Gothic architecture shines in all its splendor, both outside and inside the building. There are many photographs that can be taken to show the magnificence of Notre Dame, for that reason, when I had already got a photo at sunset from the back of the cathedral, I ran quickly to have time to also immortalize its main facade with its fantastic lighting at blue hour.

"El principio de la arquitectura gĂłtica es el infinito hecho imaginable." Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

 

En la "Ile de la CitĂŠ" de ParĂ­s, bordeada por el rĂ­o Sena, se encuentra una de las catedrales gĂłticas mĂĄs antiguas del mundo. Un par de siglos, de mediados del XII a mediados del XIV, se necesitaron para terminar este templo dedicado a la virgen MarĂ­a (de ahĂ­ el nombre de "Notre Dame" o Nuestra SeĂąora), que se ha convertido en la catedral gĂłtica mĂĄs famosa de Francia y puede que de todo el mundo. La historia de Notre Dame ha estado siempre unida a la de la capital francesa, y sus mĂĄs de 8 siglos han visto pasar acontecimientos tan trascendentales como la RevoluciĂłn Francesa (durante la cual fue convertida en un "Templo de la RazĂłn"), la coronaciĂłn de NapoleĂłn o los bombardeos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial (durante los cuales sufriĂł daĂąos que llevaron a retirar las vidrieras para protegerlas).

Hoy en dĂ­a, su visita es casi obligada en un viaje a ParĂ­s, ya que su increĂ­ble arquitectura gĂłtica luce en todo su esplendor, tanto en el exterior como en el interior del edificio. Son muchas las fotografĂ­as que pueden realizarse para mostrar la magnificencia de Notre Dame, por ello, cuando ya habĂ­a conseguido una foto al atardecer desde la parte posterior de la catedral, salĂ­ corriendo para tener tiempo de inmortalizar tambiĂŠn su fachada principal con su fantĂĄstica iluminaciĂłn a la hora azul.

"An art which isn't based on feeling isn't an art at all... feeling is the principle, the beginning and the end; craft, objective, technique - all these are in the middle."

Paul Cezanne

Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two.

A short lived venture by First Cymru was Service X10 between Swansea, Neath and Abergavenny, which operated on Tuesdays only to coincide with the town's market day. This was operated by a coach after a morning school run.

 

The principle was good. However, the main gripe from passengers was that the arrival in Abergavenny was too late, and with the return journey not until 1600, too long an afternoon waiting to come home. Needless to say, usage dwindled and the service bit the dust.

 

My shot from September 2009 shows "Shuttle 100" branded Plaxton Profile-bodied Volvo B7R 20358 leaving Abergavenny Bus Station heading for home.

The Washburn Park Water Tower poses as a landmark of early 20th-Century architectural achievement within the Tangletown neighborhood in south Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has been doing so for nearly 75 years. Perched on top of one of the highest points in south Minneapolis, the tower is given the privilege to boast its unique location and role as an unofficial "beacon" for incoming planes landing at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, yet remains hidden from much of the residents and visitors that pass by the base of the hill each day. This is mainly because large homes and tall oak trees scatter the hillside where the tower resides, and even more so, because of the clustered mess of streets and dead ends that compromise the towers' occupancy. Hence the name, 'Tangletown'.

This is another work in a Long Series Of Artists and their Art, Local n Out of Town Artists, Administrative Folks of Museums and Arts Centers, Board Members of SAMA. Fellow Allied Artists in our little tribe.

A collection of my new Friends and Supporters as I learn how to be a Public Artist. Plus, I'm sure, others I'll meet along the way.

I view this collection as a future project to be seen on the walls of museums n art centers a few years from now.

This is my reconstruction of an analog artist using and engaging in the ancient Artistic medium of drawing into a 21st.-Century Digital Fractal Painting Visual.

Five Solo Shows

SEEING BEYOND: New York City in Cambria City

Bottle Works Arts on 3rd Ave.

October 14 – November 17, 2017

Marcia Annenberg • Marcene Glover • Carole Richard Kaufmann • Carolyn Monastra • Matthew Paquette

Five NYC based Artists each take a different approach to the theme of Seeing Beyond, sharing an intriguing array of insights, and thought provoking outlooks, executed in a range of medium, styles, and subject matter. These include emerging, to nationally awarded, established international artists.

 

Matthew Paquette:

Lower East Side

 

SEEING BEYOND: Matthew’s ink drawings conjure elements of the physical world, to let ourselves experience what might be, or what might be imagined. If you look at any one thing for a long enough time it will start to look like nonsense. Something simple like a shirt’s pleat or a tree branch can turn into a closed mouth or a long chitinous finger with the right amount of focus. Following this principle, a subject goes from a likeness to a misinterpretation to an alien construct only familiar to the artist.

“Wanting to illustrate this process quickly and with little tension, I use ink (my personal love for the medium does play into it too). Having to make the choice between careful, time expensive marks and quick unforgiving ones (both of which are indistinguishable once a piece is finished) allows me to work as automatically as the process in which I see my subject transforms it. At this point, if I’m able to focus intently enough there is little to no disconnect between what I see and what appears on the page.”

Stand on principle, even if it means standing alone.

 

''Dan seandainya mereka itu bersikap istiqomah di atas jalan kebenaran, maka pastilah kami siramkan kepada mereka air yang melimpah.'' (QS. Al-Jinn : 16)

"Loki embodies the principle of evil inherent in creation itself, necessary for the existence of the cosmos which is based on a balance of opposite principles. He is identified as the poison of existence, possessor of the principle of evil, but to preserve himself and its cause paradoxically he is forced to defend the principle of good." - Tina Caro for magickalspot.com

Uncovering the ephemeral elusiveness of a landscape is one of the most difficult elements in wilderness photography. It requires a high level of anticipation of what the light might unravel several hours, days, weeks or months later. I have a mental map of many areas in the Southwest based on this principle of ephemeral elusiveness.

 

This area is fairly well visited. Many people go there for a very specific attraction and get locked in by it. Bad tunnel vision! I do not exclude myself!

 

Winter 2022/23 I visited the area, for the umpteenth time, with someone who jumped onto the main attraction while I just wandered around and looked. All of the sudden I was struck by a complete new composition, but the light was not right. It took three trips back to finally get close to what I envisioned 13 months ago.

Panzaleo o Cosanga – Píllaro

(400 a.C. – 1532 d.C.)

 

Under this classificatory name archaeologists have grouped not exactly a culture, but a minor ceramic component of wide distribution, as a rule associated with materials of different ceramic traditions. Vessels of these characteristics appear throughout the Northern and Central Highlands of Ecuador, as well as in the Amazonian area of Quijos. Their distribution suggests a close relation between both areas, the manufacture site being the eastern slopes of the so-called Royal Cordillera.

 

As far as technology is concerned, the walls are thin and the surface finish has been very carefully done, not to mention the metallic sound. The vessels are of different shapes. The big spheric pots are the most interesting. Many of the latter were ornamented with human faces often represented as “chewing coca” (chagchando coca), and ocasionally covered with masks. Others show unique motives such as tzantzas or “shrunken heads”.

 

Apparently these potters were a group of specialists in the exchange of products and services, specially those staples from the Amazon valley (e.g. hallucinogenic plants) and shamanic knowledge.

In pre-Columbian cultures, opposites were necessary to the creation and maintenance of life: this was represented in the pieces through division into two, three and four parts, rendered through shapes and colors.

 

Moreover, the fertility of women, men, animals and plants is vital to the continuity of life on earth, so it was represented recurrently in Ecuador’s ancient cultures. In some pieces one can see seeds and the different stages of women’s, families’ and animals’ life cycles, which relate to fertility rites in pre-Columbian societies
