R-Evolution
Marco Cochrane
Constructed of steel rod and balls and covered in stainless steel mesh, with LED lighting effects, R-Evolution is a 48 foot tall sculpture of a woman, Deja Solis, standing firmly with both feet on the ground, eyes closed, arms open at her sides, palms forward, a peaceful expression- present.
The culmination of The Bliss Project, a series of three monumental sculptures of a woman, Deja Solis, expressing her humanity, R-Evolution like Bliss Dance and Truth is Beauty, is intended to demand a change in perspective… to be a catalyst for social change. She is intended to challenge the viewer to see past the sexual charge that has developed around the female body which has been used for power and control, to the human being. We hope to inspire men and women to take action to end violence against women, making room for women’s voices, thus allowing both women and men to live fully and thrive.

Shakespeare Evolution Lure
The Shakespeare Evolution Lure was one of Shakespeare’s earliest lures being first introduced in in 1902. There were a few versions of the lure which also corresponded to a few different length measurements. Shakespeare in their first catalog made its lures...

Its amazing how advanced Digital SLR's have become in a relatively short period of time.
Even though I bought a used D7000 I'll never sell my D70. I still enjoy using it.
The board is from a game called Evolutions.
The "tortoise pieces" are from Jim's collection of tortoises. They are not part of the original game.
I suspect the board game is now extinct - I got this copy from a charity shop and having played it once I am returning it. It is about words and their changing meanings but it doesn't play well - crucially there is a rule that the answer on the card is what counts - even though they admit other answers may be equally valid.
"The Tortoise played an important role in the Theory of Evolution. When Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, the vice-governor of the Islands told him that he could identify what island the tortoise was from simply by looking at him."
Quoted from Galapagos Tortoise
This picture was taken for the category "Evolution" in September's MSH.
It was being used here (no longer)
It is also being used, uncredited, HERE BUT DONT CLICK. Rather an odd choice too - given that its an article about tarot reading using credit cards... Its one of those pages that tries to make it impossible to escape from it... so best not to look really.
first tests with the new slic3r 0.8.4 support structrues. 0,15mm layers ABS, support: overhang threshold 75°, 1mm apart. T-Rex model: 75% scale
After removing the support, i tried to smooth the surface with acetone... just "painting" it on causes decoloration. because of that i painted it with spraypaint. actually i kinda made all worse XD

The conditions for evolution are, according to Darwin, "descent with modification" (Darwin, 1859 see Cousins, 2014, p.202) Lifeforms change as they are reproduced and the more adaptive modifications become more populous. This principle has been extended to chemicals, (Pross, 2011) such as single, chemical RNA molecules.
However, Darwin who was originally a geologist, " in a now famous letter to Joseph Dalton Hooker written in March 1863, Darwin wrote: "...it is mere rubbish thinking at present of origin of life; one might as well think of origin of matter" [9]" (Pross, 2011). What did Darwin mean?
It seems to me that decent in the sense of replication is not necessary. Inanimate, proto-evolution is also possible and occurring now. Certainly it is replicative evolution that we see in animals, and in the chemical evolution discussed by Pross (2011). But a principle like evolution is at work at a deeper level in hard matter, such as mountains and rocks, or even as the basis for the formation of all entities in space-time.
Space time, or our sensations of it, are in a constant flux. Clouds form and blow away, animals breed and die, and mountains rise and are weathered to dust. Nonetheless we consider that there are animate and inanimate entities: species and things. In the animal world we recognised species that have adapted to their environment and do not notice the mutations that disappear as soon as they are born or last one generation. Species, and all entities descend in the sense of being "derived from something remote in time, especially through continuous transmission"; entities are that which persist.
While inanimate matter does persist in the same way, we recognise in it entities that persist. Inanimate RNA repeats itself, but a mountain is there the next day. An igneous mountain was once a flow of lava, changing second by second, which even if we had seen it would have appeared to be in flux, indistinguishable from the lava around it. Arriving out of the ground some of that lava may have exploded as dust washed away by streams. Some lava harden into rock formations that eroded and disappeared, but others solidified into into a massive lump, forming a mountain, which 'descends' through time and persists long enough to be felt to be an entity to exist, and be named.
Some of the lava washed away in streams out to sea, drifting like lava at one with its environment. Other dust mingled with the dust of weathered mountains at the base of rivers and was compacted to become sedimentary rock, which once again persists long enough for be noticed and even carried to the top of a mountain. (There was a pile of rocks possibly of various types on top of the mountain where I was standing supporting the mountain name post, pictured right )
The lava, the dust, are all being modified. Sometimes these modifications persist long enough to become an entity. Animate descent, as replication, is not a condition of evolution. All that is needed is "descent" in general through time.
Space time our sensations has non-dual, and yet dual aspect, it is advaita, not one. The sensible world is extended and it changes. The extended can not be separated from the change (as things in themselves?) nor the change (as "time"?) be separated from the extended. But we do see things in the world, which are spaces which "descend" or persist through and with modification.
However, I think that perhaps this "inanimate evolution," of this persistent kind, draws attention to the possibility that the way in which evolution in general "creates," species or things, involves the interaction of a spectator. Mountains are in no absolute way any different from lava. They are flowing, just more slowly. Wolves and coyotes are not essentially different from each other either, sometimes they even mate. Evolution is the process by which things change and persist, or "descend with modification", for long enough and or in enough numbers, as to be seen, named, and noticed. It is perhaps therefore, the seeing and naming that does the hard act of creation - Oh no! - or at least they do it together.
So, does this mean that there is creation in nature, absent of a spectator? On first blush it would seem so. Nature throws up, vomits forth, persistence and change, and those things that are persistent (descendant through time) might seem to be "created."
Various observers may deem various "descending," unchanging things as entities. A botanist may notice areas of deciduous trees in the image above left. A meteorologist might notice the altocumulus clouds. Thus a specators may apply various narratives to the natural environment. Since Heraclitus, through Yahew and Bloor, it may seem as if the persisent is noticable to the logos, and it is only the logos that creates; that which persists can be named and exists.
Contra this logocentrism, Latour argues that no, there is stability within nature, it is not only the word that creates entities. Nature contains persistants, entities which descend through time, so nature is doing the creation, the stabilization also.
It seems to me that there is no creation in nature but there are two types of creation as spectation; two types of spectator. Persistence is perhaps a condition of nameability, but spectators do not always name. Entitivity is not always the result of nameability.
Mach, genius that he was, starts by pointing out that in large part things are deemed to be entites due to the fact that they are associated with words. But he then also goes on to say, calling our attention to ancient and childhood art, that the visual apparatus sees entities even prior to naming. He points out that ancient art, and the drawings of children finds re-representables, faces, noses, feet, in nature and represents them from iconic perspectives. Feet and noses in Egyptian art are shown from the side, torsoes are shown from the front. Similar iconicity is found in the art of Aztecs and children. Mach points out that not only words, the logos, but also visual apparatus creates entities.
Given that vision, as well as words, create entites too, visual perception also creates entitivity out of randoms non persistent sights. To Yaweh, Adam or any other namer, a view has entities by virtue of having regularity. But to a bird of prey, a bamboo forest, with all its regularity, its lines, is a distraction to its attempt to catch vermin, whereas a random barren heath, or rocky beach, discloses the movements of edibles. The randomness of an area of land can be more visually 'noticable' -- a good place to prey -- as any with regularity. A city, with all its regularity, can be less beautiful, less noticable than a field, which is beautiful if unameably so, not inspite of but because of all its randomness. A lack of persistence can be a element of visual entitivity.
Thus, while nature presents descedants/persitance, that is noticable to namers and scientist, it also presents randomness and change that may be beautiful to viewers and artists.
Nature as evolution, that "blooming and buzzing" thing, with modification and persistance and creates nothing at all.
Consider a Jackson Pollock painting. Pollock splashed paint randomly. But that randomness was not his art. During all that splashing he looked and liked, and then, when he liked then he created. His creation occured when he looked and liked certain visual things, visual things that are utterly unamable.

Nature unfolds with various degrees of regularity and randomness. Created entities are in the eye and ear, or dscussion, of the beholders.

Record shop, selling mostly vinyl, in Lakeland. It was closed but when we looked in the window the guy inside opened up for us. This shot is of part of the wall that divides the main shop area from a live performance area down the back. The guy told us all about his plans for remodelling, moving this and that around, etc. I love it when people are so passionate about their music :)
Ah! A red Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. Surprisingly, Mitsu never really made one in this color. It was always some sort of metallic red or orange, like rotor-glow orange. Looks rad. Actually, most cars look rad in red.
