‘Infinity’ is an immersive environment project by Refik Anadol. Project is an integral part of artist’s ongoing ‘Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments’ which is a research on audio/visual installations by using the state called immersion which is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s awareness of physical self is transformed by being surrounded in an engrossing environment; often artificial, creating a perception of presence in a non-physical world.
In this project ‘infinity’ chosen as a concept,a radical effort to deconstruct the framework of this illusory space and transgress the normal boundaries of the viewing experience to set out to transform the conventional flat cinema projection screen into a three dimensional kinetic and architectonic space of visualisation by using contemporary algorithms.
Light is the major element in the experiment, used to blur and interconnect the boundaries between the two realms actual/fictional and physical/virtual. It signifies the threshold between the simulacrum space created by the projection technology, and the physical space where the viewer stands. The experiments will discuss the inherent spatial qualities of immersive virtual environments and their effect on the embodied person. Through the presented framework, the experiments intends to question the relativity of perception and how it informs the apprehension of our surroundings. Rather than approaching the medium as a means of escape into some disembodied techno-utopian fantasy, projects sees itself as a means of return, i.e. facilitating a temporary release from our habitual perceptions and culturally biased assumptions about being in the world, to enable us, however momentarily, to perceive ourselves and the world around us freshly.

Infinity is still a rare car to see in the UK.
I believe a small Infinity will go into production in Sunderland next year, so maybe we'll see more of them.
After lunch, Carlo and Deng led us to Falling Rock. It overlooked the golf course and was breath-taking! We hanged out in front of the Infinity Pool.

“The spiral is the most ancient symbol found on every civilized continent. Due to its appearance at burial sites across the globe, the spiral most likely represented the "life-death-rebirth" cycle. Similarly, the spiral symbolized the sun, as ancient people thought the sun was born each morning, died each night, and was reborn the next morning."
"In human color psychology, red is associated with heat, energy and blood, and emotions that "stir the blood", including anger, passion, and love."

Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado, has to be experienced to be believed.
You’re probably read that this is the only rugby stadium funded by a municipality in the USA. (Just for perspective – almost every stadium in which professional sports are played in this country was built by public dollars.) But what strikes the first-time visitor is the degree to which this is apparent on-site: City Hall is adjacent to the pitch. The tunnel that the teams run out of leads from the basement of that building. Meals, water and sunblock for the refs were available in the city council meeting chambers/courtroom.
We’ve been rightfully proud – even boastful in these pages – of the rugby facilities built in Northern California over the past couple of decades. Now Glendale and the Eastern Rockies have a wonderful, fully-realized rugby complex to help raise the level of USA rugby another notch.
Your photographer could not talk his way onto the roof of city hall, which would have given a full-field perspective. This photo shows several features of the place.
Note the large video screen in the scoreboard – the area showing the USA Rugby logo in the photo. There are five permanent camera placements and yes, they re-run plays from all the angles. When the ref hears a collective groan a little while after a controversial call he knows he got it wrong!
A neat feature of the pitch is the berm which you can see alongside. This does several things: it discourages people from standing along the touchline, it serves to elevate the first row of seating, and it acts as a highly-efficient ball-returner, facilitating quick throw-ins.
The far side of the field has the same type of seating running the entire length, with a restaurant/bar centerfield, and under construction is a building that will contain meeting rooms and changing rooms.
The end from which the photo was taken is City Hall. There is a terrace with shops
Land has been acquired to put in a second pitch across the street, which can be used as a warm-up field or for tournaments. There is even talk of keeping one of a series of apartment buildings that now occupy that land as a dormitory for visiting teams/player assemblies/extended national team camps/etc.
If you are going to be in Denver, make it a point to stop by Infinity Park in Glendale. If you can get there for rugby, even better!

John had to move a lot (but not all!) of his busts and statues out of the way of the painters today, and they ended up assembled on the top shelf of his entertainment center. I told him it looked like the cover of an Infinity Gauntlet comic. (You have to view it Large in order to get a decent view of this menagerie).
Peace To All,
Here is a set of 82-84 Infinity RS-6B speakers I found yesterday at a small thrift store and paid $20.00 for the pair. They are in nice condition overall, and with the additional $24.00 that I'm investing on fixing the rotted surronds, I will soon have another great pair of speakers for under $45.00.
Amazing find and even wth the rotted surrounds, they sound fantastic (just for testing purposes only). I will have the update soon. I've already started to peel away and clean the drivers, preparing them for their new surround, checked their caps, removed the old tarnished stain, and applied some tongue oil to the cabinets..
What did you find today?
Blessings To All
