Inspired by the ephemeral dynamics of liquid crystallinity, artist Jet Smits collaborated with soft matter physicist Stephen Picken (TU Delft) to create the installation, LC Environment.
“Slightly over a century ago a new state of matter was discovered, between liquid and solid, with the remarkable propensity to self-organize into intricate lattices. Extremely sensitive to light, heat, electrical and magnetic stimulus, this breed of soft matter, known as liquid crystal, comprises all biological and cell membranes, soap solutions as well as most current display technologies. Inspired by the ephemeral dynamics of liquid crystallinity, artist Jet Smits collaborated with soft matter physicist Stephen Picken (TU Delft) to create the installation, LC Environment.” – Synergetica Artscience Salon
Liquid crystals are a physical substance able to translate digital data to visual images. The fascinating transitional qualities of the material captured my interest. While many households use liquid crystals in their most conventional form; the LCD screen, I aim to use the unique qualities of this material in different aesthetic ways. The Technical University in Delft allowed me to do a residency, which enabled me to do more extensive research into the behaviours and aesthetic qualities of this material. This research lead me to create a live installation and an abstract video piece utilizing liquid crystals, which enables the visitor to experience this material directly.
New media artist Jet Smits explores the transitional border between the physical and the virtual world, investigating the transition point where data becomes sensorial, trying to capture that exact moment of change. She finds herself in the area of science and technology related to our perception. Her phenomenological approach results in the use of different media and technologies to create immersive, contemplative installations, based on empirical research as well as thorough artistic and scientific experimentation.

In March 2020, over 330 students, women champions, government officials, NGO members and community members from around Kampot and Kep gathered in an effort to plant 3,000 mangroves and conserve Cambodia’s coastline. Shoes were abandoned on the sideline as people waded into the mud and shallows – the mission was much more important than worrying about dirty feet.
The local activity took place as part of a larger mangrove planting and marine exhibition under ActionAid Cambodia’s 100,000 Mangroves campaign, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the project ‘Strengthening Climate Information and Early Warning Systems in Cambodia’. The campaign aims to plant 100,000 mangroves in eight community fisheries by May 2020 and raise awareness of the importance of marine ecosystems.

This photo has been compiled from a batch of partially focussed images (Pictures 106 - Picture 142) using Helicon Focus software.
The images were taken from a microscope with a usb camera.
This was part of Nicole's 'Work Shadow' day at the University of Adelaide. Thanks to Dr Scott from the Environment Institute for setting up the interesting exercise.
My interest here is to document/describe the process by which the single 'sharp' image has been created from a bunch of blurry ones!
I'm hoping other students will narrate stories about the creature, or their fav field of study.

...isn't that romantic anymore. I forgot to download this a couple of weeks ago. About a year ago, I took a picture of sky over Los Angeles, wondering the fact that most clouds over that city were man-made:
www.flickr.com/photos/ikkoskinen/334412058/. Oh well, European big cities are not much better, as this picture shows. A good deal of clouds in Paris are from jet engines, and like in LA, they are in various degrees of degradation. Scary. We should travel less.
The goal of integration should be to make the environment easy to use by offering the highest possible level of synergy between the elements that constitute the environment.

SAN ANTONIO -- The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, announced April 19 that several of Installation Management Command's installations and other U.S. Army installations were identified as net zero pilot installations as part of the Army's efforts to conserve precious resources such as energy and water and to eliminate waste to landfills.
Katherine Hammack, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, made the announcement at the Installation Management Command Symposium held in San Antonio, Texas, April 19-21.
"The Army has identified six net zero pilot installations in each of the energy, water, and waste categories and two integrated installations striving towards net zero by 2020," said Hammack. "This is a significant step in addressing the Army's sustainability and energy security challenges. Striving for net zero is operationally necessary, financially prudent, and critical to our mission."
While only six installations were identified for each category, two IMCOM installations volunteered to pilot all three categories simultaneously. Fort Bliss, Texas, and Fort Carson, Colo., will focus on net-zero energy and water usage, as well as net-zero contribution of waste to landfills.
The following six installations were identified as net-zero energy installations: Fort Detrick, Md., Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., Kwajalein Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Parks Reserve Forces Training Area, Calif., Sierra Army Depot, Calif., and West Point, N.Y.
The following six installations were identified as net-zero water installations: Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., Camp Rilea, Ore., Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico, Fort Riley, Kan., Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pa.
The following six installations were identified as net-zero waste installations: Fort Detrick, Md., Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif., Fort Polk, La., Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and U.S. Army Garrison, Grafenwoehr, Germany.
Hammack said the installations will become centers of environmental and energy excellence as they participate in the Net Zero Installation Strategy programmatic environmental planning process, showcase best management practices, and demonstrate effective resource management. Further, they will establish a framework of reduction, re-purposing, recycling and composting, energy recovery, and disposal to guide them towards achieving net zero in an environmentally responsible, cost-effective and efficient manner.
The announcement initiates the programmatic environmental analysis and planning process for the Army's Net Zero Installation Strategy. Specifics for projects and initiatives will be determined through a programmatic environmental analysis which will include public engagement and stakeholder outreach."

Presentation by environmental activist Ross Mirkarimi hosted by DERES and the U.S. Embassy Montevideo. DERES is a non-profit business organization that promotes corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Uruguay.
San Francisco District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi introduced legislation in 2007 that prohibits large supermarkets and drugstores from providing customers with non-biodegradable plastic bags, making San Francisco the first city to regulate such bags. Since then other cities around the country and in Europe have take up similar bans.
