The long hard slog up Crawford Hill.

 

The BNSF shifts Powder River Basin coal south on mile-long trains. Crawford Hill, tucked up in the north-west corner of Nebraska and the Nebraska National Forest, impedes progress for loaded trains and this service will have another four helper units on the rear.

 

The BNSF doesn't seem to be much of a fanboy for high horsepower EMD units, much preferring the GE Evolution as its standard heavy hauler, but at the time of my visit EMD's were in the majority here. SD70MAC #9699 leads here, wearing the Burlington Northern Executive livery, the locomotive was delivered before the merger with the Atcheson, Topeka and Santa Fe in 1996.

 

I don't know the current situation, but I have read somewhere that the SD70's are now being retired from duty...

Artist :

 

Louisa Clement beschäftigt sich in Fotografien, Videos, Wandarbeiten, Skulpturen und neuen VR-Arbeiten (VR für Virtual Reality) mit dem Gefühl einer Irritation in Zeiten politischer und gesellschaftlicher Unsicherheit. Ausgangspunkt für die 1987 in Bonn geborene Künstlerin ist der Mensch in einem digitalen Zeitalter, in dem auch die Integrität des Körpers durch vehemente Eingriffe der Medizin und Technik zunehmend in Frage gestellt wird.

 

Mit ihrer jüngsten Arbeit „Aporias“ (2019) überträgt Louisa Clement ihre fotografische Arbeit in den virtuellen Raum. Mithilfe von VR-Geräten schließen sich die Betrachter einer Gruppe von drei künstlichen digitalen Körpern an, die wie gesichtslose Mannequins anmuten, und können in Interaktion mit diesen treten. Als ein Beitrag zum aktuellen Diskurs über künstliche Intelligenz und maschinelles Lernen wirft die Künstlerin mit „Aporias“ Fragen zum Potenzial von Computerprogrammierung und den Grenzen menschlicher Fähigkeiten auf.

It's very cool when the reflective surface is totally out of focus, and the reflection itself is completely sharp.

something a little different :)

My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.

 

We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.

 

Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.

 

They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.

 

It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

Virtual Diva Touch - NEW ! Exclusive at Mainstore Touch Lingerie Set!! On sale this weekend! Mainstore maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Oppenheim/216/238/3993 #staysafe

From the series “Virtual model”, oil and pencil on paper, 40 x 40 cm, 2015. ORIGINAL SOLD

Virtually manipulated photograph created using a pre-written coding application through which the process of manipulating the relationship to light, texture, form and virtual spatial inhabitance of a three-dimensional shape, created from an inherently two-dimensional image, is made intuitive

 

I am currently in the process of both working with a computing student in Processing and getting to grips with Blender myself to enable free and experimental manipulation of physical space within a digital realm

 

These pieces are a rudimentary examples of my exploration into digital sculpting and I would ideally like to present these forms into various physical spaces in order to propose a dialogue between two such realms

Here is the post related to this map: Virtual Universes Landscape.

A young lion cub walks, side by side, with her mother in a virtual timeline. Cubs are born sequestered from the pride, where they live the first few months of their lives. While their mother goes off to hunt, she leaves them alone, generally well hidden. At these times they are most vulnerable to predation from a wide variety of other animals. At several months of age, a lioness introduces her young offspring to the pride. They now enjoy the added protection afforded by numbers, and females and young males will almost always share in nursery duties. When she is full grown the cub will have become an integrated member of the pride, and with time will bear offspring of her own. #LionCubs

 

Since I have made so many great friends through Flickr I wonder if this will help Kita and the temple cat make friends?

MISS VIRTUAL SPAIN 2016 organized by VERSUS

Ladies and Gents,

We are delighted to invite you to join us on May 10 pm , 1.00 pm for the Styling Challenge of Miss Virtual Spain 2016 : | Lybra |

En Biodiversidad virtual y también en Instagram como @proyectoagua.

 

Gloeocapsa se enfunda en sus trajes de cápsula como si fuera a salir al espacio, uno tras otro envuelven su cuerpo verde capa sobre capa, cápsulas encapsuladas una y otra vez para protegerse en su viaje eterno por el tiempo incierto, son ventanas abiertas que siempre dejan paso a la luz y escotillas cerradas siempre en círculos que se anillan unos sobre otros para no perder ni una exhalación de agua en sus ondas de gelatina.

 

Gloeocapsa no se mueve, se deja impulsar por la masa de gelatinas de colores que crecen bajo ella en mares densos y vítreos por los que corre la luz tenue de la entrada de la cueva. Las masas gelatinosas del biofilm hacen que esa luz se reparta por esta piel viva que viste de colores vítreos las paredes de la cueva. Se encarama en las cumbres de esas olas espesas cargadas de vida pintándolas de lunares pardos.

 

Gloeocapsa es una cianobacteria, una de las muchas que habita en el interior de la cueva marciana de Arredondo, allí donde el agua escurre por sus paredes cerca de la luz. Todas ellas son seres de organización muy primitiva, su material genético no está encerrado en un núcleo sino disperso en el citoplasma, al igual que en sus parientes las bacterias. Son por tanto seres procariotas y han tenido un extraordinario éxito en la evolución, ganando todos los récords de permanencia en la Tierra, pretegidas siempre en sus trajes espaciales de gelatina especial.

 

Con cerca de 130 de especies descritas el género Gloeocapsa es un género muy complejo y bastante confuso debido a la variabilidad que presentan sus estructuras a lo largo de su proceso de envejecimiento o según vivan en diferentes tipos de ambiente. Las envueltas gelatinosas, bien definidas y concéntricas, pueden ser transparentes o estar teñidas con una amplia gama de coloraciones. Las células, casi siempre esféricas o ligeramente ovales se dividen en dos planos del espacio dando lugar a pequeñas colonias tridemensionales con un número variable de células.

 

Gloeocapsa vive sobre la superficie de las rocas húmedas o sobre el suelo, a veces también en el agua, la de hoy en el interior de una cueva de sueños marcianos en la que apenas entra un rayo de luz y es allí, hasta donde esa luz tenue, casi invisible, llega, donde discretamente y también de forma invisible esta cianobacteria crece, generalmente dando lugar a una especie de pavimento de teselas esféricas, encajadas como las piezas de un puzle entre el que se cuelan otras cianobacterias grumosas o filamentosas tejiendo una selva extraña, como el mismo paisaje de Marte.

 

Cuando se divide, Gloeocapsa, lo hace en dos planos haciendo que convivan las células hijas dentro de una matriz gelatinosa común que envuelve a la individula de cada una de ellas y dejando ver claramente las ondas de sus láminas, como ondas en el agua detenida.

 

La especie que mostramos aquí se va descortezando mientras se extiende y recuerda mucho a Gloeocapsa decorticans por su morfología, y por el tipo de ambiente en el que se desarrolla, pero la característica forma de su crecimiento en pavimento, las marcadas láminas de su amplia envuelta y las extensas formaciones de individuos aislados, la hacen algo particular y diferente y quizá pueda tener una entidad taxonómica propia y ser considerada como una especie diferente.

 

Esta invisible joya de Gloeocapsa forma parte del tesoro que habita sobre las rocas húmedas en esta cueva mágica que nos acerca al sueño de la exploración de la vida en Marte, un sueño lleno de sorpresas, de vida y de magia.

 

Los biofilms de la cueva de Arredondo, donde está emplazada la "Ares Station", la primera estación aeroespacial subterránea permanente, que recrea un ambiente análogo al de Marte, constituyen un magnífico muestrario para desarrollar protocolos de investigación astrobiológica que desde la agencia espacial Astroland se están llevando a cabo y que abren nuevos caminos a otras investigaciones que se realicen a millones de kilómetros de distancia en los tubos volcánicos del Planeta Rojo

 

Las fotografías, tomadas a 400 aumentos con las técnicas de contraste de interferencia y epifluorescencia, proceden de una muestra recogida el día 29 de septiembre de 2019 en el entorno de la "Ares Station" en una zona muy levemetente iluminada de la cueva del Escalón, en las inmediaciones de Arredondo (Cantabria) en el marco del apasionante proyecto de investigación que Astroland está desarrollando para acercarnos a Marte.

Just for amusement, in 2006 a virtual orchestra was set up outside the Southbank Centre in London. The way it worked was that a piece of classical music was playing on a loop and when you sat on the relevent box you heard the part which the musician in that position was playing above the sound of the orchestra as a whole.

The more Internet connections we can make, the less "real" connections we seem to have. It seems the majority of contact with the outside world many of us seem to get these days is through the use of one of these.

Normally at this time of year I would be attending a Life Ministries youth "Quake" with the church kids. This year due to COVID the event was on line in an abbreviated form. These pictures are nothing special. Hopefully next year we will be at an actual weekend event again.
