Even though I read a lot (and forget most of the details). Before retiring in 2005 my job as a librarian was to catalog books and serials in a big academic library (FSU). Sometimes I would say that the flood of new and rehashed knowledge we handled kept reminding me of how much more ignorant I and every other individual was becoming, compared to the growing total of knowledge.
Archive of Spatial Knowledge is a curated collection of spatial memories hosted on an experimental digital platform. It gathers idiosyncratic spatial and social memory of individuals and groups who were forcefully displaced from the geographies of their origin or are denied representation and the possibility to build historical and cultural continuity in the locations of their current residence. The archive‘s first edition addresses the issues of spatial justice in and around the Russian occupied regions of Georgia.

These three self portraits are from a project concentrating on the role of women in christianity, more specifically Catholicism. They show how women are stereotypically portrayed in the bible and more subtly in a society that has grown from Christian values.

Ahmed Abiding
Challenging the fast-fashion industry
As a designer and owner of elkarti, a line of handmade luxury bags, Ahmed Abidine has two goals. He wants to make beautiful, useful accessories; and he wants to empower traditional Moroccan artists to become successful entrepreneurs.
The result is a production partnership with Morocco's Deaf Artisan Group of Marrakech, an organization that offers deaf people training and education to get them out of poverty and homelessness.
Ahmed describes his approach to business as, "following what really inspires me, and using it for the benefit of others. I love what I'm doing."
A native of Morocco, Ahmed developed a deep appreciation for fashion and fine craftsmanship while watching his grandfather make hand-crafted leather sandals and his mother design traditional Moroccan dresses. This artisan upbringing, combined with a flair for entrepreneurship, led Ahmed to study at Portland State University's School of Business, where he designed a sustainable business model for elkarti with the help of PSU's Social Innovation Incubator program.
"I wanted to understand sustainability and how to implement it in business. PSU taught me how to look at all the factors," says Ahmed. "Portland State gave me the visibility, the support and the confidence I needed to follow my dreams and make the world a little better. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without PSU."

ACCENDO: a projection artwork created for Illuminating York. Museum of York in the Museum Gardens was illuminated using 4 video projectors and Onlyvew software. This piece ran in sync with its companion piece that was projected onto the Abbey of St Mary's a few metres away.
The piece represents the gathering of knowledge and understanding; and its passing on to the next generation. The concept and image design were by Ross Ashton. Soundscape design by Karen Monid.
Accendo ran from the 24th October to the 2nd November 2008
I just joined the library today, after ten years in Korea it is good to have access to English books again. Perks of being home I guess. Borrowed some Photoshop technique books and this photo is the result. A composite of three images, the main photo...a statue (which I shot in Busan a while back), plus some texture and Bokeah that I got from: www.flickr.com/photos/lesbrumes/ Thanks to Lesbrumes for sharing your textures.
Just realized my pro account has expired and my last upload to Flickr was late in 09. Gosh, have I been away from Flickr for that long?.
