Pulse Front: Relational Architecture 12 is the new searchlight piece by acclaimed Mexican-Canadian electronic artist, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. The groundbreaking installation uses 20 robotic searchlights, 200,000 watts of power and includes displays up to 20 metal sculptures positioned along Toronto's harbour. Each piece is installed with a biometric sensor. When a participating spectator grabs the handles on the sculpture the sensors convert their pulse into beams of light in the sky, visible up to 15 kilometers away. The life force of honoured guests at the TELUS-hosted event will launch the beating matrix of searchlights.

Metaphors are sometimes used in the Bahá’í writings to convey intangible spiritual concepts. One metaphor that comes up in several places is the tree, such as in the Tablet of Ahmad, written by Bahá’u’lláh: “Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.” In the quote below, knowledge is a fruit of the human tree.
“Strain every nerve to acquire both inner and outer perfections, for the fruit of the human tree hath ever been and will ever be perfections both within and without. It is not desirable that a man be left without knowledge or skills, for he is then but a barren tree. Then, so much as capacity and capability allow, ye needs must deck the tree of being with fruits such as knowledge, wisdom, spiritual perception and eloquent speech.”
—Bahá’u’lláh, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 247

President Mahinda Rajapaksa made an inspection tour of the construction site of the “Knowledge Park” (former Tripoli Market) in Pettah yesterday (Augsut 6) morning. The complete cost is estimated to be around 7 million US dollars where knowledge-based industries will be allowed to setup of their operations. The first stage construction work in the 25 acre land plot has now been completed. Mahinda Chinthana future vision envisages to make Sri Lanka a knowledge hub in Asia. The government expects to earn a revenue of one thousand million US dollars from the information sector by the year 2016. In order to achieve this target the knowledge park complex will also be developed as a city consisting business research institutions.

"In order to fly, all one must do is simply miss the ground." - Douglas Adams
This is my image representation of the above quote by Douglas Adams. I interpreted the word "fly" as success and the word "ground" as fail. So to me, the phrase means that if you wish to succeed, you mustn't fail. In life, many associate success with careers. And the base of all careers require knowledge. Acquiring that knowledge means taking one step at a time, and just "missing the ground" with each try. Knowledge is power and with this power, the chances of failure are reduced significantly giving us the ability to "fly" in one way or another.
The passion for knowledge in one's lifetime is lost when one dies. Even though the pages of diaries or books which we write remain, there is still something amiss when our descendants scavenge for information that gives insight into the life which we strived to live fruitfully.
I used a disposable cardboard box and pasted pages of the Obituaries, symbolising the people who had passed on. The book was scribbled with words which represent our quests for knowledge. The book itself represents knowledge and the hole made in the book is what is lost when one parts from this world. The key to finding out what is missing lies beyond the pictures of people lined inside the box, and into the empty space in the box.
Flickr Group Roulette today stops on WordaWeek. This week's word is Sophisticated.
so·phis·ti·cat·ed
adjective
1. Having acquired worldly knowledge or refinement; lacking natural simplicity or naiveté.
2. Very complex or complicated.
Being the simple and naive man that I am, I associate sophistication with the extended pinky. Wait, maybe that is hoity-toityism?
