According to GoMA's website: "Ohmaki transforms a discrete gallery space in the Gallery of Modern Art into a ‘liminal’ zone, offering a profoundly physical experience in which audiences can consider perceptions of eternity and the sublime."
In other words you get to walk through a world of hanging string which is tactile, disorientating and super fun.
This sample was from standing water in a potted plant tray. The string-like bacteria can be seen in the center of the frame admist all of the rushing motile and most likely flagellum propelled bacteria.

Designed by William Wilkins, 1814-17 for Lord Rosebery. A Tudor Gothic country house comprising a U-plan main block built using polished and droved ashlar sandstone with Coade stone detailing. Base course, string course at 1st floor, cornice and parapets at eaves. Octagonal corniced piers with decorative carved panels to external angles and framing elevations; hoodmoulds to stone mullioned and transomed windows.
The Coade stone ornamentation was second only to Buckingham Palace as a domestic order from the Coade factory, with over 300 cases of Coade stone being shipped to Leith over 3 years.
A noted architect, Wilkens also designed the National Gallery and University College in London, and buildings for several Cambridge colleges.
The aim of this design is to reduce as much material as possible but still keep the same function. In this way the basket becomes cheaper material wise, faster to produce, cheaper to ship because of the light weight, and it prevents the harvesting of excess rattan canes.
Therese Broberg concentrated on the rattan classic: the basket while she was working with local rattan companies in Laos. She has created innovative, contemporary and classical designs.

The Mary Rose was one of the first English ships designed just as a warship. She carried a battery of heavy guns that could damage enemy ships, and lots of small guns for shooting at their crews. The bigger guns had a gunner in charge of the gun crew. There were 30 gunners on the Mary Rose in 1545. 185 soldiers were also on board. They could defend the Mary Rose, board enemy ships or fight ashore. They used guns and longbows to shoot at the enemy. When it came to hand-to-hand fighting, the soldiers were armed with swords, daggers and long spears called pikes and bills.
The archer wearing these artefacts posed many questions such as where did he come from?
“The main indicators of him not being from Europe are his strontium values, which suggest he lived in a limestone area, which do exist across the continent, but are also present in parts of North Africa. The final clincher is his oxygen isotope value, which is much higher than the British norm, suggesting that he was certainly not born in Britain.
Based on this information, we believe that he came from inland North Africa, over 50km from the coast. Further DNA analysis will be needed to confirm this.
What we do know, based on his skeletal remains, is that he was in his early 20s and, at 1.79m tall (5ft 10in), making him slightly taller than most of the crew, who averaged around 1.7m (5ft 7in). He was well built, with particularly strong legs. The centre of his spine is twisted, a common feature in Mary Rose crew members found with archery equipment, and one of his right finger bones has grooves on the inside; possibly the result of repeatedly drawing a longbow string.
He was found wearing a jerkin, shoes and woollen socks. He also carried a sword in a decorated scabbard, hanging from which was a wooden pomander, a scented ball used to mask bad odours.
Intriguingly, he was also wearing a leather wristguard decorated with the Royal Arms of England and Katherine of Aragon’s badges - the triple turret of Castile and the pomegranate symbol of Granada. It’s a bit of a mystery why such a wristguard, of which two were found on the Mary Rose, with the badge of Katherine of Aragon, still be worn so many years after the King had divorced his first wife, breaking with the Catholic Church as a result? The archer would have been a child during the King’s marriage to Katherine of Aragon, so did he inherit it, or was he simply issued with an old wristguard? The presence of more than one of these wristguards suggests that a number of the Royal Bodyguards may have been on board.” maryrose.org/blog/many-faces-of-tudor-england/museum-blog...
a very cool, very simple art piece. small lights were hung at the base of helium-filled balloons, which were strung together at equal intervals and raised high in the air.
from afar, this thing distorted the viewer's (my) sense of depth perception. i thought it was enormous and far off in the distance. moving towards this "far off" destination, i suddenly realized the base of it was 20 feet in front of me.
totally cool :)
the picture doesn't do it justice.

My take on the venerable "string tripod"

My only addition is a heaving line knot at the end for something bulkier to step on: www.iland.net/~jbritton/heavinglineknot.htm
I then shorten it with a sheepshank until it's the proper length: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheepshank
