Parade Theme 2016: No Big Deal
In December 2012 I visited the Dallas Arboretum for Chihuly Nights, the night time exhibition of the world famous glass artist, Dale Chihuly. You could purchase a ticket either for a daytime visit, or one of the illuminated night visits called Chihuly Nights. These works of art were scattered over the 65 acres of the Dallas Arboretum. You had to purchase your ticket in advance online and no refunds were given for inclement weather. I was fortunate. The weather was fantastic on my chosen night, right before a big cold front moved through the area.
Emergency Service crews were called to the Hudson River at 23rd Street when a body was found floating near shore.
Very Vancouver - Float Planes in Coal Harbour.
I find them fascinating.
Even though it is mid-April and there was fresh snow on the North Shore mountains from the day before, it looks chilly, but it was very comfortable hanging out on the wharf.

So my baby had a long day at work so I suprised him with a bath, candles and a little 98.7 to relax..:)
Wood floats, but the ability to stay upright does come into question, some additional work needed, before it is allowed into the centre of the lake.
Pulled on a string is some fun, but you really want to see if it will sail on its own.
If it sinks at the edge, it can be saved as the water is only about six inches deep.
Wellingtons take on water once you get further than three feet from the edge.
Mud and sharp stones stop you going in without boots on.
We are building an art float with friends and neighbors for this year’s Mill Valley Memorial Day Parade.
Our float for this parade features the Bamboodu Theater, a mobile puppet stage I created for civic events and art shows. Our first show stars Lady Liberty and Mr. Trump. As music plays, a Mr. Trump’s recent tweets and alternative facts appear on a news ticker. Each time Trump says something wrong, Liberty hits him on his thick, bobbing head.
As we march, we will invite parade watchers to sing along the inspiring poem by Emma Lazarus about the Statue of Liberty (“Give me your tired, your poor …”). Through this interactive art experience, we hope to engage people of all ages to change the world through civic action.
I am making this float in my front yard with a wonderful team at the Mill Valley Community Action Network (MVCAN), a local political group which I recently joined to resist the conservative takeover of our country.
In this photo session, we were joined by journalist Paul Liberatore and photographer James Cacciatore, who are reporting about this float for the Independent Journal, Marin County’s main newspaper. It was a pleasure to welcome them both and introduce them to our team.
I’m very grateful to all our friends and neighbors who are helping bring it to life: Danny Altman, Laura Boles, Phyllis Florin, David Glad, Peter Graumann, Edward Janne, Suz Lipman, Charlene Lundgren, Jean Marie Murphy and Mark Petrakis and Martha Roush, to name but a few.
Our Bamboodu Float is coming along beautifully, and we can’t wait to show it off at the parade on Monday, May 29, 2017.
Join your neighbors to keep democracy alive!

Emma Istre describes the details of the shoebox float she designed for this year's competition. Southwest Louisiana Convention and Visitors Bureau held their annual Mardi Gras Shoebox Float Contest Saturday. The floats will be on display at Convention and Visitors Welcome Center through February 22.
At about 427 m below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest place on Earth. It's got a salt concentration of 33.7%, which allows for people to float effortlessly on its surface but prevents most other life from surviving in it, thus contributing to its name.

At the wet mill, the managers demonstrated how the cherry was first weighed for lot size, than given the "float test" to inspect for defect and other uniformity issues. First the cherry is weighed and tallied, then a 5 kilo sample of cherry is taken from the farmer's lot. From that, 1 liter of cherry is given a test wherein it's dumped into a bucket of water; whatever floats is skimmed off and weighed, and whatever doesn't float is also sorted by sight for unripe, overripe, and damaged coffee. Those defects or inadequate cherry are then factored into the farmer's overall lot by percentage in a computer database, and the calculations result in an invoice which the farmer can then accept or reject. Upon acceptance, the farmer's payment is transferred directly to a kind of banking card which is a benefit of being a part of the program; the farmer has instant access to that money.
What an incredible float we had down the upper Buffalo River in April! With the rain the night before, the water was up and waterfalls were around every corner. Ten mile float down the Buffalo National River, Arkansas, with family, April, 2009.
This was the Triangle Down Syndrom Network float. Check out their website and volunteer. Such a cutie!
Floater is a chaise longue designed together with Mathias Bernhard at the Chair for CAAD, ETH Zurich and was produced in close collaboration with Kläusler Acrylstein AG.
The elegant sinuous design is based on the distinctive material properties of acrylic stone combined with advanced digital design and fabrication techniques. Generative modeling and analyzation tools were used to maximize the available area on each sheet of 12mm “HI-MACS solid surface” and minimize stress due to bending. The design was adopted according to these parameters and split in three parts to be manufacturable from standard sheet dimensions. The 2D-CNC cut flat pieces were then vacuum formed on 3-axis CNC milled MDF molds and afterwards seamlessly glue-joint to form a single monolithic shell. The wings on each side appear to hardly touch the ground and emphasize the floating appearance of the chaise. They also enable the user to gently rock back and forth while relaxing on the smooth and durable surface.
Four prototypes have so far been realized in Alpine White, Fiery Red and Black. The project is still under development but different colors are available on demand.

The year ahead is like a circus performance in a world devoid of gravity. The show begins with the illusion of control – a ringmaster in a tall hat calls the audience to attention, his voice trembling with uncertainty while straining to sound authoritative. The curtain rises, but instead of solid ground beneath their feet, everything is consumed by an endless weightlessness.
The clowns float aimlessly, their painted smiles stretched in desperation as they try to catch props that constantly slip from their grasp. The audience watches, but it’s unclear whether they are mere spectators or part of the performance – their faces flicker like holograms, always on the verge of disappearing.
In the centre ring, the trapeze artists launch themselves, but there is no safety net to catch them. Their flight seems infinite, directionless. They drift apart, their hands reaching for something invisible – a dream or a reality they can no longer grasp. The acrobats stretch the laws of physics to their breaking point, but their movements feel more like desperate attempts to cling to their own essence than to impress the crowd.
And then, there’s the hall of mirrors – a strange sideshow tent in the circus. Here, every projection is cast back at us – our hopes, our fears, our masked faces. But the mirrors are shattered, and each fragment reflects a different version of the year, a different story. Which one is real? Who can say?
The music is chaotic – a cacophony of pompous trumpets and distorted violins that cuts to the soul. It has no rhythm, no beginning, no end, only a constant sensation of something suspended in the air – a decision, a conclusion, an escape.
The circus goes on, floating in a vacuum between the real and the artificial. The performance never ends, for there is no “next act” – only an eternal, weightless dance towards something indefinable. The audience does not applaud. They cannot decide whether the show is beautiful or tragic. Perhaps it is both. Perhaps it is neither.
Poem:
The ringmaster calls with a tremor concealed,
In a voice that wavers, its authority steeled.
The curtain lifts; the ground is lost,
In a realm where gravity pays the cost.
The clowns float by with painted grins,
Hiding despair as the show begins.
Their juggling acts, a futile fight,
To hold the pieces in the weightless night.
Above, trapeze artists leap and soar,
Reaching for dreams they can’t restore.
No net below, no tethered line,
They drift apart in endless time.
The mirrored tent reflects our fears,
A kaleidoscope of fractured years.
Each shard a tale, a fleeting face,
Reality scattered in time’s embrace.
The music wails, a discordant plea,
A symphony born of entropy.
No rhythm to guide, no end in sight,
Only the weightless, eternal flight.
And still the circus spins its tale,
A cosmic jest, a fragile frail.
No applause, no final bow,
Just weightless dancers lost in the now.
Haikus:
Endless trapeze arcs,
No ground beneath, only air,
Dreams dissolve mid-flight.
Mirrors fracture truth,
Faces flicker, fade, and blur,
What’s real disappears.
Painted smiles drift on,
Clowns juggle what they can’t hold,
Laughter turns to dust.
Gravity undone,
The circus spins in the void,
Time is the tightrope.

This summer I got to work with Rock Paper Robot on their Float Table. Magnetized wooden cubes and steel cables hold the pieces together, and can support decorative items up to five pounds. This playful piece merges high design and classical physics.
