I was playing with my stereo microscope, and figured I'd look at the surface of my Saleae Logic. It looks like an anodized aluminum case that's been laser engraved. Here you can see the rather crinkly texture of the anodized aluminum, then you can see the little dots they burned into the surface to create the Logic logo. Each dot made a tiny crater in the surface.
(Sorry for the slightly blurry photo- it's much clearer in person, but I don't really have a good way to take clear photos through the lens of the microscope yet.)
Had noticed that the low beam on drivers side was just about to to give up the ghost.
So today I drove down to the local auto shop to buy a replacement globe.
Instructions on how to remove globe.
Buy 9 inch angle grinder and two cut off discs. Mark line from just under windshield to back of wheel-arch. Across bonnet to centre, then straight down to grill and continue through front engine mount. Remove offending obstacles
Replace bulb!
What was the design engineer thinking, five years at university wasted!
Two wiring harnesses, one fuse box and a bloody engine coolant stork in the way. One screw on water tight cap. One metal clip to hold globe in place, and wiring connection to remove.
A pair of glasses that don't let the wearer focus closer than 20 foot away, kept falling of the head as I was doubled over. Two bloody great big mits that could not hold on to the items and then perform the tasks to remove them.
By now you get the picture that this was not a five minute job!
Got the globe connected to the wiring connection. Thought I would try first to see if the globe works before trying to install everything.
By the time I walked from the drivers door to front of car. A inferno had erupted and I could hear distant sirens from approaching fire engines.
The globe had come to rest against a plastic sheath protecting wiring. I tried to get to the globe to remove it. Third degree burns to two fingers! Managed to grab hold of it by only place one could touch it. Ok .... now how do I turn the lights off. Just as well I'm a old fashioned guy that still carries a cotton handkerchief. Placed item between globe and plastic components ...... ran like hell to turn lights off before rest of car burns.
This globe is so powerful that one could cook a baked dinner for a party of six in under four minutes.
Had 80 thousand people queued behind me thinking they were entering a stadium to watch a night game of football.
Scientists were pointing their telescopes in my direction thinking a new star had been born.
It would have been quicker to trade the car in and buy a new one!
Analizando las distintas temáticas de una obra que se ha compuesto de una serie de colecciones que se irán defiendo en las próximas semanas
Temáticas
Desde los primeros cuadros, que el pintor define como “primitivos” (1948 a 1964), aparece una lógica evolución de la primera acuarela de 1948 a la actualidad, tanto en la evolución de la propia pintura, materiales utilizados e ideas llevadas a cabo, destacando el papel arroz, la serigrafía o la investigación en los murales realizados en los exteriores e iglesias de Bilbao a Vitoria. De esta manera, a lo largo del siguiente Post, enumeramos una serie de contenidos que nos acercan al resumen y síntesis de un artista especializado en todo lo que ha tocado y llevado a cabo. Premio Nacional de Pintura en 1958, la Exposición de Bilbao, en la Sala Arthogar (noviembre de 1960), fue el paso a una serie de eventos que lograron centrar la atención de los medios de comunicación en un artista que dejó una serie de claves de su arte. De aquella época y etapa, por medio de las lecciones en la Escuela Cervantes y al lado de José de Lorenzo Solís, junto a otros coetáneos como José María Cundín, Ergüin enseñaba bodegones, paisajes de exterior, primeros retratos y una voluntad en la descripción del País Vasco, su estudio de la Calle María Muñoz, o bien, aquellas impresiones de los viajes realizados a Castro Urdiales, Castilla y, en especial, a Cuenca y Toledo, sin dejar de lado los campos de la meseta, que calificó de “mares sin agua”, por su luz, llanura, extensiones y cambios de temperatura.
Buscando la facilidad en el proyecto, después del análisis de más de 30.000 fotografías, 3.000 documentos personales y la realización de una serie de listas que analizan las diapositivas del pasado, los vídeos de la actualidad y la configuración de un dossier de prensa, nos encontramos con la puesta en marcha de una recopilación de toda la obra (inventario) y la posibilidad de poner los puntos sobre las “íes” a todos los procesos, como la opción de destacar las temáticas de una carrera profesional que se inició en 1948, se consolida en 1958 y consigue llegar a la crítica, público y medios de comunicación en los primeros eventos de 1960 hasta 2013.
Iñaki García Ergüin se especializó, personalizó y profesionalizó en la realización de paisajes exteriores (Castro Urdiales, Toledo, País Vasco, Cuenca, Lanzarote, etc), retratos por encargo (personalidades, desconocidos, etc), o bien en los siguientes temas:
-Toros:
La plaza de toros, su ambiente, las fincas dedicadas a la crianza de los toros bravos, la pasión en un arte y espectáculo, así como la posibilidad de conocer a los toreros, la tauromaquia desde dentro, y las relaciones consolidadas con el tiempo lograron la atención del pintor, que ha sentido admiración por la fiesta, sus elementos y sus tertulias, como las distintas apariciones en el Club Cocherito de Bilbao, Café Lepanto o el Café Metrópoli. Además, las figuras de Pedro Gutiérrez Moya (El Niño de la Capea), Francisco Camino Sánchez (Paco Camino), Juan Antonio Ruiz (Espartaco) o Manuel Benítez “El Cordobés” han sido personalidades que han motivado a Ergüin en la elaboración de algunos cuadros con respecto al mundo del toreo.
Quizás, como explica, “el día que conocí a Marcial Lalanda me di cuenta de lo duro que es un arte que forma parte de un espectáculo arriesgado”. En palabras de Ernest Miller Hemingway, “Lalanda puede enfrentarse con cualquier toro y con todos ellos puede hacer un trabajo hábil y sincero. Como torero completo y científico es el mejor que hay en España, es el maestro indiscutible de la lidia actual” (Muerte en la tarde, 23 de septiembre de 1932).
Asimismo, por medio de la amistad que Ergüin mantuvo con Alejandro Cabrera, conocido como “El Niño de la Prensa” y personaje célebre de la ciudad de Bilbao en los ochenta y noventa, Alejandro formó parte de un cuadro llevado a cabo en 1981 y que llevó el título de “Alejandro torero”. Las conversaciones sobre toros, toreros y la fiesta en general fueron muy bien consideradas, debido a los conocimientos de Cabrera en este terreno en los distintos foros.

-Ópera Carmen:
Un proyecto que se dividió en dos. En un primer lugar, la creación de los escenarios, telas y composiciones para ambientar los distintos actos, consolidaron a Ergüin como un artista que supo pintar una ópera con detalles llamativos, estilo propio y con el respaldo de la crítica, que tuvo buenas palabras ante un proyecto que nació a principios de los noventa y consiguió hacerse un hueco en la cartelera de Sevilla, Bilbao y Génova.
De esta experiencia apareció un libro titulado Carmen, ritmo y color en la pintura de García Ergüin (José E. Perallón), que consiguió describir los procesos a la hora de pintar algunas de las composiciones que aparecieron en el musical, y nos sirvió para tener un repaso de la biografía de Ergüin y algunas anotaciones finales sobre su obra dedicada al Jazz, Cielos, Playas y paisajes de exterior, que nos aproximaron a conocer la evolución en parte de su arte.
Por otra parte, de los cuadros relacionados con la Ópera Carmen, en 1992 se expusieron en Madrid, aunque Ergüin, con el paso de los años, ha trabajado en escenas del propio musical, analizando cada pasaje y desarrollando una colección privada en la que el colorido, expresionismo de la obra y el sentido de Carmen y don José nos acerca a la propia realidad de los textos de Mérimée.

-La Boheme y Manon:
En el ámbito de las óperas, Ergüin mostró un interés por los decorados, los dibujos, bocetos para cada acto y escena, participación en los procesos y destacando sus cualidades para dar a conocer una serie de obras que han acompañado otros proyectos que han tenido una representación en los principales teatros.
La buhardilla, la escenografía completa, las coristas y los propios moros con sus caras alargadas hacen que pasemos a la obra de Manon, que recoge ejemplos y ejemplos de otra de las piezas en la que el pintor se sintió “realizado y recompensado por el esfuerzo”. De esta manera, es obligada la cita de los cuadros que recogen el Hotel Transylvanie, Course Lareine, Hostelería de Amiens, El Havre o San Sulpicio realizados en 1997.

-Toledo:
Desde los primeros viajes realizados a la capital de la cultura en 1952, 1955 y hasta 2012, Ergüin ha sentido una plena admiración por la ciudad de Toledo, su arte, historia y las distintas panorámicas, paisajes y posibilidades de una localidad que cuenta con un importante patrimonio cultural, social y donde cada calle, paseo y edificio cuenta con un pasado.
Garcilaso de la Vega, El Greco o Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra son figuras que nacieron, residieron y murieron (El Greco), o bien, se basaron en su contexto para situar una historia, unos personajes o narraciones de una interesante calidad literaria.
Ergüin buscó Toledo a lo largo de las fases del día hasta la noche (1972), la descripción de los distintos edificios (Catedral, El Alcázar, Puente de San Martín, etc) y la profundidad de sus perspectivas desde la lejanía, con el objeto de jugar con los colores, tonalidades y elementos y materiales. El 12 de enero de 2012 se realizó en la Galería de Lumbreras una exposición que llevó el título de Toledo y que resumió los cincuenta años de trayectoria profesional del pintor.
Es muy probable, aunque está todavía por confirmar, que se pueda repetir la experiencia, pero en la propia ciudad de Toledo.

-Castilla:
Tierra de Campos es una colección que recoge los paisajes de la meseta, de Castilla La Vieja (Burgos, Soria, Segovia, Ávila, Valladolid y Palencia, aunque en 1833 aparecieron Logroño y Santander), y Castilla La Nueva (Ciudad Real, Cuenca, Guadalajara, Madrid y Toledo), sin dejar de lado aquellos viajes realizados por Iñaki García Ergüin a Salamanca, para descubrir las fincas, su frío, el pasto de los toros y conseguir una serie de obras de gran calidad por medio del contraste de la luz, según la estación del año.
Los colores, la descripción de las iglesias, pueblos, personas, ciudadanos, campos y las explanadas fueron refugio de un artista que encontró la quietud, silencio y reflexión en unos paisajes que “eran como el mar, pero sin agua”. La investigación desde 1960 en adelante logró que Ergüin se consolidase como un experto en los campos de Castilla, por medio de un interés manifiesto y la admiración que sintió al encontrar nuevos argumentos y referencias para su pintura.
-Etapa religiosa:
El retablo de la Iglesia de San Antón de Bilbao (2003), La Cena del Señor (Parroquia de San Vicente Mártir de Abando – 2008) y El Pórtico de Gracia (Parroquia de San Vicente Mártir de Abando – 2010) son algunas de las obras más importantes en la etapa religiosa de Iñaki García Ergüin, el cual manifiesta que “asumí el reto como parte de un proyecto de gran envergadura”.
En el caso de la Iglesia de San Antón, el Retablo Mayor es un conjunto sin mazonería que consta de doce elementos: siete pinturas realizadas por el artista bilbaíno contemporáneo Iñaki García Ergüin e, intercaladas entre ellas, cinco motivos escultóricos, a saber: en la predela, dos relieves representando el Lavatorio de los Pies y la Última Cena; en el cuerpo intermedio, dos bultos redondos de San Pedro y San Pablo; y en el lugar del ático, un Cristo crucificado.
Los dos bultos y los dos relieves formaban parte de un desaparecido retablo romanista correspondiente a los últimos años siglo XVI, ejecutado por Esteban de Velasco según trazas de Martín Ruiz de Zubiate. El Cristo es una talla anterior, de la primera fase del renacimiento español. Inmediata al presbiterio, junto a la puerta de entrada, se dispone una talla en madera policromada de San Antón, gótica del siglo XV. Con respecto a La Cena del Señor, el 24 de octubre de 2008 se estrenó el Mural la “Cena del Señor” del pintor Ignacio García Ergüin en la Parroquia San Mártir de Abando (Bilbao).
El colorido, la complejidad de la escena y el mensaje de las distintas tablas supusieron un estudio pormenorizado del tema, argumento y mensaje por parte del pintor. Asimismo, en el año 2010, se realizó el Pórtico de Gracia que es la descripción de la Gracia de Dios, uno de los momentos más importantes en la religión católica, que se muestra en una manifestación que Ergüin desarrolló y describió en forma de tríptico.

-Jazz:
Un estilo, un movimiento, un dinamismo en el escenario, una sucesión de melodías, armonías y destellos de la Preservation Hall Jazz Band, que es un conjunto que nació a principios de los sesenta en New Orleans, Louisiana, y que tienen por objetivo recuperar el estilo del auténtico Jazz de la zona, dar la oportunidad a nuevos músicos para la interpretación de las canciones y dar conciertos por todo el mundo. A mediados de los sesenta, Ergüin conoció la realidad del Barrio Francés de Nueva Orleans, vivió allí, consiguió exponer y personalizó su pintura hacia el nuevo descubrimiento del Jazz, que fue una sonora influencia por las atmósferas, naturaleza del propio estilo musical y espectáculo generado por los músicos, que fueron más que un divertimento verlos en directo.
De la etapa dedicada al Jazz, han aparecido multitud de cuadros, referencias y trabajos que aparecen en un lugar importante en la vida de Ergüin, así como en el Bar Grill del Hotel Carlton, que recoge dos obras de una colección que ha levantado excelentes críticas para el pintor. La Exposición Preservation Hall Jazz Band, bajo el título de Pinturas negras, tuvo un recorrido a mediados de los 90 por toda España, en especial por Vitoria y Madrid. De la misma manera, en 1980, en la Sala de Exposiciones Brosolí (Barcelona), se llevó a cabo un evento para recoger las mejores obras expuestas con respecto a esta temática.

-Playas:
Las Playas es una colección que ha tenido tres lugares y espacios que han posibilitado la creación de una sucesión de cuadros con respecto a un tema que recoge la tranquilidad, quietud, perspectiva, dimensión y paz desde Hendaya hasta Corralejo (Fuerteventura), pasando por Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) y las distintas playas que conoció por primera vez en 1976.
Pueblo Marinero (Teguise), Playa Blanca, Yaiza o la Playa Papagayo son localidades, lugares y sitios en los que Ergüin siguió creando y apostando por una temática en la que la luz, los colores, la aparición de pequeños elementos decorativos han acercado sus playas a países como Estados Unidos, Méjico o las distintas exposiciones que se realizaron en España. La Galería Arte y Proyección de Méjico fue una de las salas que recuerda el pintor cuando mira la vista atrás y analiza, paso a paso y de forma cronológica, su proyección internacional, que le llevó a Estados Unidos, de nuevo, a principios de los 90.

-Cielos:
El contraste perfecto entre los campos de Castilla y las playas de Hendaya, Lanzarote y Fuerteventura, así como una continuidad entre la tierra y el cielo, los amaneceres, atardeceres y anocheceres que son propios de la fase del día. La desaparición del sol, la aparición de la luna, un cielo con nubes, la claridad entre las nubes o la luminosidad de cada cielo en función de donde se ha realizado el cuadro son representaciones y escenas de la propia colección.
En obra grande (medidas), nos encontramos con una serie de representaciones de una etapa que cautivó a la crítica a mediados de los noventa, después del éxito de la Ópera Carmen, la participación en los telones y escenarios de La Boheme, así como los recuerdos de otros retratos ejecutados en la ciudad de Bilbao.

-Lonja de Bermeo:
Sus gentes, la cofradía, los barcos, el puerto, el cielo, la salida de un pesquero y la fiesta en sí, su ambiente y los retratos de los ciudadanos de una localidad que llamó la atención del pintor por su fuerza, el uso del negro y la planificación de una obra más grande de lo habitual a finales de los setenta, aunque los primeros esbozos datan de la década de los sesenta y las primeras exposiciones en las que participó en Bermeo.
Tierra de pescadores, tratamiento del pescado, pesqueros pequeños y mundo de lonja, el pintor hace un significativo repaso a una singular localidad que, con el paso de los años, ha evolucionado su mercado, puerto y barcos.

-Athletic Club de Bilbao:
Amante del deporte en general, pero en especial del fútbol, boxeo y de los deportes vascos, García Ergüin recibió un encargo del Athletic Club de Bilbao para la realización de una serie de murales sobre el club, los jugadores y el significado del fútbol a mediados de los setenta. Ese proyecto, que con el paso del tiempo se convirtió en la primera piedra de una colaboración que se ha consolidado en el tiempo, logró la realización de una serie de murales y cuadros sobre el equipo, los valores y cultura en general, así como una significativa colección que recoge una serie de acciones de los propios partidos a los que asistió junto a los jugadores.
La alegría en la consecución de un gol, la parada de un portero, un cabezazo en el área rival o la creación del logotipo del centenario del Athletic Club de Bilbao en 1998 han formado parte de un arte consolidado, respetado y querido por la ciudad, afición, peñas y directivos del equipo.

-Deporte vasco:
Jai Alai (punta de cesta), Harrijasoketa (levantamiento de piedras) o Sokamuturra (toro ensogado) son algunas obras de un estilo, tema y colección que tuvo su apogeo a mediados de los setenta, debido a la acción descrita, uso del negro y movimiento de los propios cuadros, en los que aparecen varios jugadores.
Jai Alai (punta de cesta) y otros títulos introducen al testigo y visitante en un escenario que es extraordinario, no sólo por su antigüedad, sino por la propia forma en la que se juega a este deporte. En la cesta-punta, se agarra la pelota con la cesta, se toma impulso y se lanza hacia el frontón. El peso de ésta oscila entre los 200 y 600 gramos, siendo su longitud de 62 cm para los delanteros y 68 cm los zagueros. La cesta se fabrica con madera de castaño, tejida de mimbre, no obstante en la actualidad se utilizan materiales sintéticos.
La forma de la cesta curva, cóncava, alargada y estrecha es al parecer una modificación de la antigua chistera. Encaja en la mano a modo de guante (atándola con una cuerda) y va provista de una bolsa que ayuda a retener la pelota, según las informaciones consultadas.
De origen vasco, jugado en frontones, generalmente entre 54 a 60 m. La principal característica de la cesta es la de lanzar la pelota con mayor fuerza y eficacia después de recogerla y dejarla deslizar hasta su extremo, desde donde saldrá despedida contra el frontón, intentando hacer “tanto” para conseguir el mayor número de puntos. La modalidad habitual es el juego por parejas, siendo los países más especializados Francia, España, México, Filipinas y Estados Unidos.
En este sentido, García Ergüin se atrevió con el Harrijasoketa, es decir, el levantamiento de piedras propio del deporte rural vasco y que se practica en los territorios tradicionales, en el que los dos jugadores compiten por levantar un número superior de veces piedras de diferentes formas, dimensiones y pesos determinados. Uno de los harrijasotzaile campeón más célebre es Iñaki Perurena quien en 1999 alcanzó el récord de 1000 levantamientos continuos de una piedra de 100 kg en 5 h, 4 minutos y 46 segundos. Fue el primer levantador que alzó piedras de 300 o más kg, llegando en 1994 a 320 kg. Mikel Saralegi, de Leiza como Iñaki, ostenta el récord actual (329 kg), obtenido en 2001.

-Expresionismo:
El expresionismo es una corriente artística y movimiento cultural que surgió en Alemania a principios del siglo XX y que transformó la realidad para expresar de forma más subjetiva la naturaleza y al ser humano, dando primacía a la plasmación de los sentimientos más que a la descripción objetiva de la realidad. El viaje realizado a la ciudad de Múnich en 1963, por medio de una beca concedida por Iberduero, transformó el concepto de la pintura en García Ergüin, que aprovechó para avanzar en su evolución, adaptar aquello que le gustaba y lograr evocar un mensaje más social en sus propios cuadros, aunque respetando el origen, su interpretación de la realidad y logrando un mensaje, como apareció en determinadas críticas artísticas de finales de los sesenta.
El expresionismo, como movimiento, tendencia, corriente y forma de expresión, amplió los conocimientos del pintor en la elaboración de paisajes, narrar la Fiesta Vasca de Hendaya 1900, los trajes de época o los paisajes de la propia ciudad de Bilbao, con la incorporación de nuevos colores y el tratamiento de la luz.
-Espacios:
En el año 2000, después de haber realizado el proyecto del logotipo para la celebración del centenario del Athletic Club de Bilbao, el pintor desea plasmar nuevos proyectos creativos por medio del uso del color en la colección Espacios, que deja al interesado y público la opción de interpretar de forma libre una sucesión de imágenes, en las que nos encontramos con una línea que divide cada cuadro en función del uso de un color.
Rojo, amarillo, negro, blanco o naranja se dan cita en una obra que es actual, innovadora y sedujo a la crítica por su originalidad, y supone un paso más en la evolución de la pintura de García Ergüin.

-Obra sobre papel arroz:
El papel arroz, descrito como “una buena piel”, logró que el pintor se fijase en otros materiales al margen del óleo para poder crear nuevos proyectos y definir una serie de colecciones en un soporte delicado, pero con buenas sensaciones desde el punto de vista visual, y que ha sido empleado para algunas de sus colecciones más prestigiosas (Toledo, Lanzarote, etc).
-Retratos:
El análisis e interpretación son dos factores esenciales en el arte del retrato. Desde los miembros de la familia, personalidades del mundo de la política, empresarios, futbolistas, desconocidos, amigos, otros pintores y músicos, Ergüin ha recurrido al retrato, al desafío de captar el mensaje de una cara y de la figura de la propia esencia del ser humano, en una colección que se inició a mediados de los cincuenta del siglo XX.

"How to I anchor these experiences and solidify these changes when I leave the forest?" And that brings me full circle back to my art practice and the question of the art object. Every festival does this for me, but every once in a while there is a festival space that goes so far to the core of my being, that it transcends everything I held to be true, and everything changes for me. This year The Ritual did that for me. '' J.S ((( )))

END OF THE VORTEX _/\_ AHO
In 2012, rapper Logic announced he was releasing a new single entitled "My Chain." There happened to be leak of the song floating around beforehand that I snagged and put into my iTunes. However, I'm so particular about making sure that my music has ID tags and art, that I decided to do this for Logic's single that had yet to be officially released.
I made this cover and just sent to him over Twitter. He retweeted that initial tweet, and while I was super ecstatic, I didn't think anything would come of it.
Until it officially premiered.

Unas 150 personas aprendieron ayer nuevas técnicas para colocarse el pañuelo, la faja o hacerse un moño a la hora de vestirse de baturro. El Centro de Estudios Folklore Aragonés (CESFOAR) organizó su segunda Exhibición de Indumentaria Tradicional Aragonesa en Vivo, 'Así eran, así vestían'. Hubo talleres, desfiles, una procesión y una ofrenda a la Virgen del Pilar.
En la plaza de la Delegación del Gobierno, hombres, mujeres, jóvenes, niños y bebés lucieron sus indumentarias tradicionales. "Es pintoresco verlos ahora, antes de las fiestas. Habrá que poner atención para lucir igual dentro de unas semanas", comentó María Eugenia Sanz, una de las vecinas del lugar que se acercó a los talleres.
Las clases comenzaron con una presentación de las zapatillas y poco a poco el improvisado escenario, a pie de calle, se fue llenando. Cuando llegó el momento de hablar de las fajas, era complicado encontrar un lugar desde el que poder ver a los modelos y hubo que trasladar las lecciones a un escenario más alto.
"Vamos a conocer la forma más sencilla de colocar la faja. Se debe sujetar uno de los flecos. Lo lógico es hacerlo entre dos, pero también se puede hacer solo, con la ayuda de una puerta. Después hay que girar sobre uno mismo. No lo hagáis de un armario, porque se te puede venir encima", bromeó el presentador, que añadió que las fajas siempre "quedan mejor cuando se tiene un poco de tripa" y que si están bien puestas, "no dejarán que el vestuario se mueva durante los bailes".
En el taller se mostró la forma de colocar el mantón solo con la ayuda de cuatro agujas: "Una va en el centro de la espalda, las otras dos en la cintura". El espacio más largo, sin embargo, fue el dedicado a los moños. El pelo de tres modelos fue retocado en directo. "Mientras más corto, más complicado. Lo normal es partirlo en tres, como una 'T', y luego recogerlo", explicó Isabel Lafuente, especialista en esos peinados.
También se habló de los cachirulos, que pueden dejarse con flecos sueltos o atados. Y sobre antiguas tradiciones, con muestras de hilanderas antiguas.
"Pretendemos dar a conocer la vestimenta de nuestros antepasados y enseñar la colocación de los distintos elementos de vestuario", explicó Carlos Gómez, presidente de CESFOAR. Los actos, que se enmarcan dentro del Plan Integral Casco Histórico, terminaron con un desfile de los modelos y la ofrenda a la Virgen.
Martin Magnusson presents Temporal Action Logic for Question Answering in an Adventure Game by Martin Magnusson and Patrick Doherty of Artificial Intelligence & Integrated Computer Systems Division Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Linköping University, Sweden
Why Logic? AGI must be applicable to any (intellectual) problem
1. Theorem proving
2. Universality
3. Natural Language
In Technical Session # 6: Virtually Embodied AI chaired by Sibley Verbek of The Electric Sheep Company at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08)
This room is The Zone, at the FedEx Institute of Technology, University of Memphis. It was a very good venue for this conference.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

“POST IT UP!” - International Urban Art Exhibition 2011
Exhibition of posters, stickers, stencils, sketches, prints, canvas, toys, decks, vynils, photos and more...
--------------------------
--------------------------
-------------------
[ENG]
...Even if winter is freezin' us cold with his breath,
"Post it Up" will be warm enough. Thanks to the new
artworks by artists from all over the world.
You are all invited to the third edition of this event,
giving you the chance to see the real urban art coming
from different places and cultures!
The artworks all contain different meaning
but share the common ground of placing art in the public realm without looking for monetary gain.
You will enjoy the expressions of the contemporary art in unexpected forms,
with live performances found only at cutting edge venues for contemporary art.
The artist showing their works and those in attendance are friends of not only our project in Italy but offer a selection of the best emerging talent in the street art world today.
The raw essence of the streets and the artist generosity and friendliness in sharing their works with the public in their countries, as well as now in Italy enthusiastically participate with the only purpose to share their feelings, their sensations, their nonsense, their logic, and their techniques.
We are proud to say that their artworks are meant to share the art itself and their heart as well.
Even the artists whose works have come from all over the world, sometimes to distant for themselves to attend, will be with us through the spirit of their masterpieces.
A truly valid award for the artists will be your presence to this free event and extraordinary exhibition to held the 26th of February, 2011 19:00h at "L@P Asilo 31" - Firenze Street, 1 - Benevento (campania) - Italy.

(-Thank you Hugh Leeman-)

Anche se l'inverno ci sta seguendo con un profondo respiro freddo il
"Post it Up" sarà abbastanza caldo grazie alle nuove opere inviate da artisti di tutto il mondo!
Siete tutti invitati alla terza edizione di questo evento pressoché unico nel genere,
che vi darà l'opportunità di vedere la vera arte urbana proveniente da diversi luoghi e culture!
Tutti i lavori sono rappresentativi dei più disparati significati ma di sicuro privi dell'egoismo spesso imposto da un possibile lucro.
Potrete godere delle espressioni più disparate dell'arte contemporanea in forme inaspettate,
con performance dal vivo che vengono riproposte solo in pochi altri eventi.
Gli artisti che interverranno in "carne e ossa" sono cordiali ed allo stesso tempo fuori dagli schemi,
a differenza di un certo tipo di persone del settore che presumono di essere "i migliori" solo perché noti alle masse.
La vera essenza delle strade è l'affabilità di quegli artisti contemporanei che hanno partecipato con entusiasmo,
con il solo scopo di condividere i loro sentimenti, le loro sensazioni, il loro nonsense, la loro logica, le proprie tecniche.
Con certezza è possibile affermare che condividono la loro arte ed il loro cuore.
Tutti gli artisti lontani con il corpo saranno concretamente presenti grazie ai loro capolavori.
Un valido riconoscimento per l'impegno degli artisti sarà la vostra presenza a questa straordinaria mostra gratuita che si terrà il 26 febbraio 2011, ore 19.00, presso "L@P Asilo 31" - Via Firenze, 1 - Benevento (Campania) - Italia.

"How to I anchor these experiences and solidify these changes when I leave the forest?" And that brings me full circle back to my art practice and the question of the art object. Every festival does this for me, but every once in a while there is a festival space that goes so far to the core of my being, that it transcends everything I held to be true, and everything changes for me. This year The Ritual did that for me. '' J.S ((( )))

Unas 150 personas aprendieron ayer nuevas técnicas para colocarse el pañuelo, la faja o hacerse un moño a la hora de vestirse de baturro. El Centro de Estudios Folklore Aragonés (CESFOAR) organizó su segunda Exhibición de Indumentaria Tradicional Aragonesa en Vivo, 'Así eran, así vestían'. Hubo talleres, desfiles, una procesión y una ofrenda a la Virgen del Pilar.
En la plaza de la Delegación del Gobierno, hombres, mujeres, jóvenes, niños y bebés lucieron sus indumentarias tradicionales. "Es pintoresco verlos ahora, antes de las fiestas. Habrá que poner atención para lucir igual dentro de unas semanas", comentó María Eugenia Sanz, una de las vecinas del lugar que se acercó a los talleres.
Las clases comenzaron con una presentación de las zapatillas y poco a poco el improvisado escenario, a pie de calle, se fue llenando. Cuando llegó el momento de hablar de las fajas, era complicado encontrar un lugar desde el que poder ver a los modelos y hubo que trasladar las lecciones a un escenario más alto.
"Vamos a conocer la forma más sencilla de colocar la faja. Se debe sujetar uno de los flecos. Lo lógico es hacerlo entre dos, pero también se puede hacer solo, con la ayuda de una puerta. Después hay que girar sobre uno mismo. No lo hagáis de un armario, porque se te puede venir encima", bromeó el presentador, que añadió que las fajas siempre "quedan mejor cuando se tiene un poco de tripa" y que si están bien puestas, "no dejarán que el vestuario se mueva durante los bailes".
En el taller se mostró la forma de colocar el mantón solo con la ayuda de cuatro agujas: "Una va en el centro de la espalda, las otras dos en la cintura". El espacio más largo, sin embargo, fue el dedicado a los moños. El pelo de tres modelos fue retocado en directo. "Mientras más corto, más complicado. Lo normal es partirlo en tres, como una 'T', y luego recogerlo", explicó Isabel Lafuente, especialista en esos peinados.
También se habló de los cachirulos, que pueden dejarse con flecos sueltos o atados. Y sobre antiguas tradiciones, con muestras de hilanderas antiguas.
"Pretendemos dar a conocer la vestimenta de nuestros antepasados y enseñar la colocación de los distintos elementos de vestuario", explicó Carlos Gómez, presidente de CESFOAR. Los actos, que se enmarcan dentro del Plan Integral Casco Histórico, terminaron con un desfile de los modelos y la ofrenda a la Virgen.

"How to I anchor these experiences and solidify these changes when I leave the forest?" And that brings me full circle back to my art practice and the question of the art object. Every festival does this for me, but every once in a while there is a festival space that goes so far to the core of my being, that it transcends everything I held to be true, and everything changes for me. This year The Ritual did that for me. '' J.S ((( )))

END OF THE VORTEX _/\_ AHO
The Ajanta Caves (Ajiṇṭhā leni; Marathi: अजिंठा लेणी) in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India are about 30 rock-cut Buddhist cave monuments which date from the 2nd century BCE to about 480 or 650 CE. The caves include paintings and sculptures described by the government Archaeological Survey of India as "the finest surviving examples of Indian art, particularly painting", which are masterpieces of Buddhist religious art, with figures of the Buddha and depictions of the Jataka tales. The caves were built in two phases starting around the 2nd century BCE, with the second group of caves built around 400–650 CE according to older accounts, or all in a brief period of 460 to 480 according to the recent proposals of Walter M. Spink. The site is a protected monument in the care of the Archaeological Survey of India, and since 1983, the Ajanta Caves have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The caves are located in the Indian state of Maharashtra, near Jalgaon and just outside the village of Ajinṭhā 20°31′56″N 75°44′44″E), about 59 kilometres from Jalgaon railway station on the Delhi – Mumbai line and Howrah-Nagpur-Mumbai line of the Central Railway zone, and 104 kilometres from the city of Aurangabad. They are 100 kilometres from the Ellora Caves, which contain Hindu and Jain temples as well as Buddhist caves, the last dating from a period similar to Ajanta. The Ajanta caves are cut into the side of a cliff that is on the south side of a U-shaped gorge on the small river Waghur, and although they are now along and above a modern pathway running across the cliff they were originally reached by individual stairs or ladders from the side of the river 35 to 110 feet below.
The area was previously heavily forested, and after the site ceased to be used the caves were covered by jungle until accidentally rediscovered in 1819 by a British officer on a hunting party. They are Buddhist monastic buildings, apparently representing a number of distinct "monasteries" or colleges. The caves are numbered 1 to 28 according to their place along the path, beginning at the entrance. Several are unfinished and some barely begun and others are small shrines, included in the traditional numbering as e.g. "9A"; "Cave 15A" was still hidden under rubble when the numbering was done. Further round the gorge are a number of waterfalls, which when the river is high are audible from outside the caves.
The caves form the largest corpus of early Indian wall-painting; other survivals from the area of modern India are very few, though they are related to 5th-century paintings at Sigiriya in Sri Lanka. The elaborate architectural carving in many caves is also very rare, and the style of the many figure sculptures is highly local, found only at a few nearby contemporary sites, although the Ajanta tradition can be related to the later Hindu Ellora Caves and other sites.
HISTORY
Like the other ancient Buddhist monasteries, Ajanta had a large emphasis on teaching, and was divided into several different caves for living, education and worship, under a central direction. Monks were probably assigned to specific caves for living. The layout reflects this organizational structure, with most of the caves only connected through the exterior. The 7th-century travelling Chinese scholar Xuanzang informs us that Dignaga, a celebrated Buddhist philosopher and controversialist, author of well-known books on logic, lived at Ajanta in the 5th century. In its prime the settlement would have accommodated several hundred teachers and pupils. Many monks who had finished their first training may have returned to Ajanta during the monsoon season from an itinerant lifestyle.
The caves are generally agreed to have been made in two distinct periods, separated by several centuries.
CAVES OF THE FIRST (SATAVAHANA) PERIOD
The earliest group of caves consists of caves 9, 10, 12, 13 and 15A. According to Walter Spink, they were made during the period 100 BCE to 100 CE, probably under the patronage of the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE – c. 220 CE) who ruled the region. Other datings prefer the period 300 BCE to 100 BCE, though the grouping of the earlier caves is generally agreed. More early caves may have vanished through later excavations. Of these, caves 9 and 10 are stupa halls of chaitya-griha form, and caves 12, 13, and 15A are vihāras (see the architecture section below for descriptions of these types). The first phase is still often called the Hinayāna phase, as it originated when, using traditional terminology, the Hinayāna or Lesser Vehicle tradition of Buddhism was dominant, when the Buddha was revered symbolically. However the use of the term Hinayana for this period of Buddhism is now deprecated by historians; equally the caves of the second period are now mostly dated too early to be properly called Mahayana, and do not yet show the full expanded cast of supernatural beings characteristic of that phase of Buddhist art. The first Satavahana period caves lacked figurative sculpture, emphasizing the stupa instead, and in the caves of the second period the overwhelming majority of images represent the Buddha alone, or narrative scenes of his lives.
Spink believes that some time after the Satavahana period caves were made the site was abandoned for a considerable period until the mid-5th century, probably because the region had turned mainly Hindu
CAVES OF THE LATER OR VAKATAKA PERIOD
The second phase began in the 5th century. For a long time it was thought that the later caves were made over a long period from the 4th to the 7th centuries CE, but in recent decades a series of studies by the leading expert on the caves, Walter M. Spink, have argued that most of the work took place over the very brief period from 460 to 480 CE, during the reign of Emperor Harishena of the Vakataka dynasty. This view has been criticized by some scholars, but is now broadly accepted by most authors of general books on Indian art, for example Huntington and Harle.
The second phase is still often called the Mahāyāna or Greater Vehicle phase, but scholars now tend to avoid this nomenclature because of the problems that have surfaced regarding our understanding of Mahāyāna.
Some 20 cave temples were simultaneously created, for the most part viharas with a sanctuary at the back. The most elaborate caves were produced in this period, which included some "modernization" of earlier caves. Spink claims that it is possible to establish dating for this period with a very high level of precision; a fuller account of his chronology is given below. Although debate continues, Spink's ideas are increasingly widely accepted, at least in their broad conclusions. The Archaeological Survey of India website still presents the traditional dating: "The second phase of paintings started around 5th – 6th centuries A.D. and continued for the next two centuries". Caves of the second period are 1–8, 11, 14–29, some possibly extensions of earlier caves. Caves 19, 26, and 29 are chaitya-grihas, the rest viharas.
According to Spink, the Ajanta Caves appear to have been abandoned by wealthy patrons shortly after the fall of Harishena, in about 480 CE. They were then gradually abandoned and forgotten. During the intervening centuries, the jungle grew back and the caves were hidden, unvisited and undisturbed, although the local population were aware of at least some of them.
REDISCOVERY
On 28 April 1819, a British officer for the Madras Presidency, John Smith, of the 28th Cavalry, while hunting tiger, accidentally discovered the entrance to Cave No. 10 deep within the tangled undergrowth. There were local people already using the caves for prayers with a small fire, when he arrived. Exploring that first cave, long since a home to nothing more than birds and bats and a lair for other larger animals, Captain Smith vandalized the wall by scratching his name and the date, April 1819. Since he stood on a five-foot high pile of rubble collected over the years, the inscription is well above the eye-level gaze of an adult today. A paper on the caves by William Erskine was read to the Bombay Literary Society in 1822. Within a few decades, the caves became famous for their exotic setting, impressive architecture, and above all their exceptional, all but unique paintings. A number of large projects to copy the paintings were made in the century after rediscovery, covered below. In 1848 the Royal Asiatic Society established the "Bombay Cave Temple Commission" to clear, tidy and record the most important rock-cut sites in the Bombay Presidency, with John Wilson, as president. In 1861 this became the nucleus of the new Archaeological Survey of India. Until the Nizam of Hyderabad built the modern path between the caves, among other efforts to make the site easy to visit, a trip to Ajanta was a considerable adventure, and contemporary accounts dwell with relish on the dangers from falls off narrow ledges, animals and the Bhil people, who were armed with bows and arrows and had a fearsome reputation.
Today, fairly easily combined with Ellora in a single trip, the caves are the most popular tourist destination in Mahrashtra, and are often crowded at holiday times, increasing the threat to the caves, especially the paintings. In 2012, the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation announced plans to add to the ASI visitor centre at the entrance complete replicas of caves 1, 2, 16 & 17 to reduce crowding in the originals, and enable visitors to receive a better visual idea of the paintings, which are dimly-lit and hard to read in the caves. Figures for the year to March 2010 showed a total of 390,000 visitors to the site, divided into 362,000 domestic and 27,000 foreign. The trends over the previous few years show a considerable growth in domestic visitors, but a decline in foreign ones; the year to 2010 was the first in which foreign visitors to Ellora exceeded those to Ajanta.
PAINTINGS
Mural paintings survive from both the earlier and later groups of caves. Several fragments of murals preserved from the earlier caves (Caves 9 and 11) are effectively unique survivals of court-led painting in India from this period, and "show that by Sātavāhana times, if not earlier, the Indian painter had mastered an easy and fluent naturalistic style, dealing with large groups of people in a manner comparable to the reliefs of the Sāñcī toraņa crossbars".
Four of the later caves have large and relatively well-preserved mural paintings which "have come to represent Indian mural painting to the non-specialist", and fall into two stylistic groups, with the most famous in Caves 16 and 17, and apparently later paintings in Caves 1 and 2. The latter group were thought to be a century or more later than the others, but the revised chronology proposed by Spink would place them much closer to the earlier group, perhaps contemporary with it in a more progressive style, or one reflecting a team from a different region. The paintings are in "dry fresco", painted on top of a dry plaster surface rather than into wet plaster.
All the paintings appear to be the work of painters at least as used to decorating palaces as temples, and show a familiarity with and interest in details of the life of a wealthy court. We know from literary sources that painting was widely practised and appreciated in the courts of the Gupta period. Unlike much Indian painting, compositions are not laid out in horizontal compartments like a frieze, but show large scenes spreading in all directions from a single figure or group at the centre. The ceilings are also painted with sophisticated and elaborate decorative motifs, many derived from sculpture. The paintings in cave 1, which according to Spink was commissioned by Harisena himself, concentrate on those Jataka tales which show previous lives of the Buddha as a king, rather than as an animal or human commoner, and so show settings from contemporary palace life.
In general the later caves seem to have been painted on finished areas as excavating work continued elsewhere in the cave, as shown in caves 2 and 16 in particular. According to Spink's account of the chronology of the caves, the abandonment of work in 478 after a brief busy period accounts for the absence of painting in caves such as 4 and 17, the later being plastered in preparation for paintings that were never done.
COPIES
The paintings have deteriorated significantly since they were rediscovered, and a number of 19th-century copies and drawings are important for a complete understanding of the works. However, the earliest projects to copy the paintings were plagued by bad fortune. In 1846, Major Robert Gill, an Army officer from Madras presidency and a painter, was appointed by the Royal Asiatic Society to replicate the frescoes on the cave walls to exhibit these paintings in England. Gill worked on his painting at the site from 1844 to 1863 (though he continued to be based there until his death in 1875, writing books and photographing) and made 27 copies of large sections of murals, but all but four were destroyed in a fire at the Crystal Palace in London in 1866, where they were on display.
Another attempt was made in 1872 when the Bombay Presidency commissioned John Griffiths, then principal of the Bombay School of Art, to work with his students to make new copies, again for shipping to England. They worked on this for thirteen years and some 300 canvases were produced, many of which were displayed at the Imperial Institute on Exhibition Road in London, one of the forerunners of the Victoria and Albert Museum. But in 1885 another fire destroyed over a hundred paintings that were in storage. The V&A still has 166 paintings surviving from both sets, though none have been on permanent display since 1955. The largest are some 3 × 6 metres. A conservation project was undertaken on about half of them in 2006, also involving the University of Northumbria. Griffith and his students had unfortunately painted many of the paintings with "cheap varnish" in order to make them easier to see, which has added to the deterioration of the originals, as has, according to Spink and others, recent cleaning by the ASI.
A further set of copies were made between 1909 and 1911 by Christiana Herringham (Lady Herringham) and a group of students from the Calcutta School of Art that included the future Indian Modernist painter Nandalal Bose. The copies were published in full colour as the first publication of London's fledgling India Society. More than the earlier copies, these aimed to fill in holes and damage to recreate the original condition rather than record the state of the paintings as she was seeing them. According to one writer, unlike the paintings created by her predecessors Griffiths and Gill, whose copies were influenced by British Victorian styles of painting, those of the Herringham expedition preferred an 'Indian Renascence' aesthetic of the type pioneered by Abanindranath Tagore.
Early photographic surveys were made by Robert Gill, who learnt to use a camera from about 1856, and whose photos, including some using stereoscopy, were used in books by him and Fergusson (many are available online from the British Library), then Victor Goloubew in 1911 and E.L. Vassey, who took the photos in the four volume study of the caves by Ghulam Yazdani (published 1930–1955).
ARCHITECTURE
The monasteries mostly consist of vihara halls for prayer and living, which are typically rectangular with small square dormitory cells cut into the walls, and by the second period a shrine or sanctuary at the rear centred on a large statue of the Buddha, also carved from the living rock. This change reflects the movement from Hinayana to Mahāyāna Buddhism. The other type of main hall is the narrower and higher chaitya hall with a stupa as the focus at the far end, and a narrow aisle around the walls, behind a range of pillars placed close together. Other plainer rooms were for sleeping and other activities. Some of the caves have elaborate carved entrances, some with large windows over the door to admit light. There is often a colonnaded porch or verandah, with another space inside the doors running the width of the cave.
The central square space of the interior of the viharas is defined by square columns forming a more or less square open area. Outside this are long rectangular aisles on each side, forming a kind of cloister. Along the side and rear walls are a number of small cells entered by a narrow doorway; these are roughly square, and have small niches on their back walls. Originally they had wooden doors. The centre of the rear wall has a larger shrine-room behind, containing a large Buddha statue. The viharas of the earlier period are much simpler, and lack shrines. Spink in fact places the change to a design with a shrine to the middle of the second period, with many caves being adapted to add a shrine in mid-excavation, or after the original phase.
The plan of Cave 1 shows one of the largest viharas, but is fairly typical of the later group. Many others, such as Cave 16, lack the vestibule to the shrine, which leads straight off the main hall. Cave 6 is two viharas, one above the other, connected by internal stairs, with sanctuaries on both levels.
The four completed chaitya halls are caves 9 and 10 from the early period, and caves 19 and 26 from the later period of construction. All follow the typical form found elsewhere, with high ceilings and a central "nave" leading to the stupa, which is near the back, but allows walking behind it, as walking around stupas was (and remains) a common element of Buddhist worship (pradakshina). The later two have high ribbed roofs, which reflect timber forms, and the earlier two are thought to have used actual timber ribs, which have now perished. The two later halls have a rather unusual arrangement (also found in Cave 10 at Ellora) where the stupa is fronted by a large relief sculpture of the Buddha, standing in Cave 19 and seated in Cave 26. Cave 29 is a late and very incomplete chaitya hall.
The form of columns in the work of the first period is very plain and un-embellished, with both chaitya halls using simple octagonal columns, which were painted with figures. In the second period columns were far more varied and inventive, often changing profile over their height, and with elaborate carved capitals, often spreading wide. Many columns are carved over all their surface, some fluted and others carved with decoration all over, as in cave 1.
The flood basalt rock of the cliff, part of the Deccan Traps formed by successive volcanic eruptions at the end of the Cretaceous, is layered horizontally, and somewhat variable in quality, so the excavators had to amend their plans in places, and in places there have been collapses in the intervening centuries, as with the lost portico to cave 1. Excavation began by cutting a narrow tunnel at roof level, which was expanded downwards and outwards; the half-built vihara cave 24 shows the method. Spink believes that for the first caves of the second period the excavators had to relearn skills and techniques that had been lost in the centuries since the first period, which were then transmitted to be used at later rock-cut sites in the region, such as Ellora, and the Elephanta, Bagh, Badami and Aurangabad Caves.
The caves from the first period seem to have been paid for by a number of different patrons, with several inscriptions recording the donation of particular portions of a single cave, but according to Spink the later caves were each commissioned as a complete unit by a single patron from the local rulers or their court elites. After the death of Harisena smaller donors got their chance to add small "shrinelets" between the caves or add statues to existing caves, and some two hundred of these "intrusive" additions were made in sculpture, with a further number of intrusive paintings, up to three hundred in cave 10 alone.
A grand gateway to the site, at the apex of the gorge's horsehoe between caves 15 and 16, was approached from the river, and is decorated with elephants on either side and a nāga, or protective snake deity.
ICONOGRAPHY OF THE CAVES
In the pre-Christian era, the Buddha was represented symbolically, in the form of the stupa. Thus, halls were made with stupas to venerate the Buddha. In later periods the images of the Buddha started to be made in coins, relic caskets, relief or loose sculptural forms, etc. However, it took a while for the human representation of the Buddha to appear in Buddhist art. One of the earliest evidences of the Buddha's human representations are found at Buddhist archaeological sites, such as Goli, Nagarjunakonda, and Amaravati. The monasteries of those sites were built in less durable media, such as wood, brick, and stone. As far as the genre of rock-cut architecture is concerned it took many centuries for the Buddha image to be depicted. Nobody knows for sure at which rock-cut cave site the first image of the Buddha was depicted. Current research indicates that Buddha images in a portable form, made of wood or stone, were introduced, for the first time, at Kanheri, to be followed soon at Ajanta Cave 8 (Dhavalikar, Jadhav, Spink, Singh). While the Kanheri example dates to 4th or 5th century CE, the Ajanta example has been dated to c. 462–478 CE (Spink). None of the rock-cut monasteries prior to these dates, and other than these examples, show any Buddha image although hundreds of rock-cut caves were made throughout India during the first few centuries CE. And, in those caves, it is the stupa that is the object of veneration, not the image. Images of the Buddha are not found in Buddhist sailagrhas (rock-cut complexes) until the times of the Kanheri (4th–5th century CE) and Ajanta examples (c. 462–478 CE).
The caves of the second period, now all dated to the 5th century, were typically described as "Mahayana", but do not show the features associated with later Mahayana Buddhism. Although the beginnings of Mahāyāna teachings go back to the 1st century there is little art and archaeological evidence to suggest that it became a mainstream cult for several centuries. In Mahayana it is not Gautama Buddha but the Bodhisattva who is important, including "deity" Bodhisattva like Manjushri and Tara, as well as aspects of the Buddha such as Aksobhya, and Amitabha. Except for a few Bodhisattva, these are not depicted at Ajanta, where the Buddha remains the dominant figure. Even the Bodhisattva images of Ajanta are never central objects of worship, but are always shown as attendants of the Buddha in the shrine. If a Bodhisattva is shown in isolation, as in the Astabhaya scenes, these were done in the very last years of activities at Ajanta, and are mostly 'intrusive' in nature, meaning that they were not planned by the original patrons, and were added by new donors after the original patrons had suddenly abandoned the region in the wake of Emperor Harisena's death.
The contrast between iconic and aniconic representations, that is, the stupa on one hand and the image of the Buddha on the other, is now being seen as a construct of the modern scholar rather than a reality of the past. The second phase of Ajanta shows that the stupa and image coincided together. If the entire corpus of the art of Ajanta including sculpture, iconography, architecture, epigraphy, and painting are analysed afresh it will become clear that there was no duality between the symbolic and human forms of the Buddha, as far as the 5th-century phase of Ajanta is concerned. That is why most current scholars tend to avoid the terms 'Hinayana' and 'Mahayana' in the context of Ajanta. They now prefer to call the second phase by the ruling dynasty, as the Vākāţaka phase.
CAVES
CAVE 1
Cave 1 was built on the eastern end of the horse-shoe shaped scarp, and is now the first cave the visitor encounters. This would when first made have been a less prominent position, right at the end of the row. According to Spink, it is one of the latest caves to have been excavated, when the best sites had been taken, and was never fully inaugurated for worship by the dedication of the Buddha image in the central shrine. This is shown by the absence of sooty deposits from butter lamps on the base of the shrine image, and the lack of damage to the paintings that would have been happened if the garland-hooks around the shrine had been in use for any period of time. Although there is no epigraphic evidence, Spink believes that the Vākāţaka Emperor Harishena was the benefactor of the work, and this is reflected in the emphasis on imagery of royalty in the cave, with those Jakata tales being selected that tell of those previous lives of the Buddha in which he was royal.
The cliff has a more steep slope here than at other caves, so to achieve a tall grand facade it was necessary to cut far back into the slope, giving a large courtyard in front of the facade. There was originally a columned portico in front of the present facade, which can be seen "half-intact in the 1880s" in pictures of the site, but this fell down completely and the remains, despite containing fine carving, were carelessly thrown down the slope into the river, from where they have been lost, presumably carried away in monsoon torrents.
This cave has one of the most elaborate carved façades, with relief sculptures on entablature and ridges, and most surfaces embellished with decorative carving. There are scenes carved from the life of the Buddha as well as a number of decorative motifs. A two pillared portico, visible in the 19th-century photographs, has since perished. The cave has a front-court with cells fronted by pillared vestibules on either side. These have a high plinth level. The cave has a porch with simple cells on both ends. The absence of pillared vestibules on the ends suggest that the porch was not excavated in the latest phase of Ajanta when pillared vestibules had become a necessity and norm. Most areas of the porch were once covered with murals, of which many fragments remain, especially on the ceiling. There are three doorways: a central doorway and two side doorways. Two square windows were carved between the doorways to brighten the interiors.
Each wall of the hall inside is nearly 12 m long and 6.1 m high. Twelve pillars make a square colonnade inside supporting the ceiling, and creating spacious aisles along the walls. There is a shrine carved on the rear wall to house an impressive seated image of the Buddha, his hands being in the dharmachakrapravartana mudra. There are four cells on each of the left, rear, and the right walls, though due to rock fault there are none at the ends of the rear aisle. The walls are covered with paintings in a fair state of preservation, though the full scheme was never completed. The scenes depicted are mostly didactic, devotional, and ornamental, with scenes from the Jataka stories of the Buddha's former existences as a bodhisattva), the life of the Gautama Buddha, and those of his veneration. The two most famous individual painted images at Ajanta are the two over-life size figures of the protective bodhisattvas Padmapani and Vajrapani on either side of the entrance to the Buddha shrine on the wall of the rear aisle (see illustrations above). According to Spink, the original dating of the paintings to about 625 arose largely or entirely because James Fegusson, a 19th-century architectural historian, had decided that a scene showing an ambassador being received, with figures in Persian dress, represented a recorded embassy to Persia (from a Hindu monarch at that) around that date.
CAVE 2
Cave 2, adjacent to Cave 1, is known for the paintings that have been preserved on its walls, ceilings, and pillars. It looks similar to Cave 1 and is in a better state of preservation.
Cave 2 has a porch quite different from Cave one. Even the façade carvings seem to be different. The cave is supported by robust pillars, ornamented with designs. The front porch consists of cells supported by pillared vestibules on both ends. The cells on the previously "wasted areas" were needed to meet the greater housing requirements in later years. Porch-end cells became a trend in all later Vakataka excavations. The simple single cells on porch-ends were converted into CPVs or were planned to provide more room, symmetry, and beauty.
The paintings on the ceilings and walls of this porch have been widely published. They depict the Jataka tales that are stories of the Buddha's life in former existences as Bodhisattva. Just as the stories illustrated in cave 1 emphasize kingship, those in cave 2 show many "noble and powerful" women in prominent roles, leading to suggestions that the patron was an unknown woman. The porch's rear wall has a doorway in the center, which allows entrance to the hall. On either side of the door is a square-shaped window to brighten the interior.
The hall has four colonnades which are supporting the ceiling and surrounding a square in the center of the hall. Each arm or colonnade of the square is parallel to the respective walls of the hall, making an aisle in between. The colonnades have rock-beams above and below them. The capitals are carved and painted with various decorative themes that include ornamental, human, animal, vegetative, and semi-divine forms.
Paintings appear on almost every surface of the cave except for the floor. At various places the art work has become eroded due to decay and human interference. Therefore, many areas of the painted walls, ceilings, and pillars are fragmentary. The painted narratives of the Jataka tales are depicted only on the walls, which demanded the special attention of the devotee. They are didactic in nature, meant to inform the community about the Buddha's teachings and life through successive rebirths. Their placement on the walls required the devotee to walk through the aisles and 'read' the narratives depicted in various episodes. The narrative episodes are depicted one after another although not in a linear order. Their identification has been a core area of research since the site's rediscovery in 1819. Dieter Schlingloff's identifications have updated our knowledge on the subject.
CAVE 4
The Archeological Survey of India board outside the caves gives the following detail about cave 4: "This is the largest monastery planned on a grandiose scale but was never finished. An inscription on the pedestal of the buddha's image mentions that it was a gift from a person named Mathura and paleographically belongs to 6th century A.D. It consists of a verandah, a hypostylar hall, sanctum with an antechamber and a series of unfinished cells. The rear wall of the verandah contains the panel of Litany of Avalokiteśvara".
The sanctuary houses a colossal image of the Buddha in preaching pose flanked by bodhisattvas and celestial nymphs hovering above.
CAVES 9-10
Caves 9 and 10 are the two chaitya halls from the first period of construction, though both were also undergoing an uncompleted reworking at the end of the second period. Cave 10 was perhaps originally of the 1st century BCE, and cave 9 about a hundred years later. The small "shrinelets" called caves 9A to 9D and 10A also date from the second period, and were commissioned by individuals.
The paintings in cave 10 include some surviving from the early period, many from an incomplete programme of modernization in the second period, and a very large number of smaller late intrusive images, nearly all Buddhas and many with donor inscriptions from individuals. These mostly avoided over-painting the "official" programme and after the best positions were used up are tucked away in less prominent positions not yet painted; the total of these (including those now lost) was probably over 300, and the hands of many different artists are visible.
OTHER CAVES
Cave 3 is merely a start of an excavation; according to Spink it was begun right at the end of the final period of work and soon abandoned. Caves 5 and 6 are viharas, the latter on two floors, that were late works of which only the lower floor of cave 6 was ever finished. The upper floor of cave 6 has many private votive sculptures, and a shrine Buddha, but is otherwise unfinished. Cave 7 has a grand facade with two porticos but, perhaps because of faults in the rock, which posed problems in many caves, was never taken very deep into the cliff, and consists only of the two porticos and a shrine room with antechamber, with no central hall. Some cells were fitted in.
Cave 8 was long thought to date to the first period of construction, but Spink sees it as perhaps the earliest cave from the second period, its shrine an "afterthought". The statue may have been loose rather than carved from the living rock, as it has now vanished. The cave was painted, but only traces remain.
SPINK´S DETAILED CHRONOLOGY
Walter M. Spink has over recent decades developed a very precise and circumstantial chronology for the second period of work on the site, which unlike earlier scholars, he places entirely in the 5th century. This is based on evidence such as the inscriptions and artistic style, combined with the many uncompleted elements of the caves. He believes the earlier group of caves, which like other scholars he dates only approximately, to the period "between 100 BCE – 100 CE", were at some later point completely abandoned and remained so "for over three centuries", as the local population had turned mainly Hindu. This changed with the accession of the Emperor Harishena of the Vakataka Dynasty, who reigned from 460 to his death in 477. Harisena extended the Central Indian Vakataka Empire to include a stretch of the east coast of India; the Gupta Empire ruled northern India at the same period, and the Pallava dynasty much of the south.
According to Spink, Harisena encouraged a group of associates, including his prime minister Varahadeva and Upendragupta, the sub-king in whose territory Ajanta was, to dig out new caves, which were individually commissioned, some containing inscriptions recording the donation. This activity began in 462 but was mostly suspended in 468 because of threats from the neighbouring Asmaka kings. Work continued on only caves 1, Harisena's own commission, and 17–20, commissioned by Upendragupta. In 472 the situation was such that work was suspended completely, in a period that Spink calls "the Hiatus", which lasted until about 475, by which time the Asmakas had replaced Upendragupta as the local rulers.
Work was then resumed, but again disrupted by Harisena's death in 477, soon after which major excavation ceased, except at cave 26, which the Asmakas were sponsoring themselves. The Asmakas launched a revolt against Harisena's son, which brought about the end of the Vakataka Dynasty. In the years 478–480 major excavation by important patrons was replaced by a rash of "intrusions" – statues added to existing caves, and small shrines dotted about where there was space between them. These were commissioned by less powerful individuals, some monks, who had not previously been able to make additions to the large excavations of the rulers and courtiers. They were added to the facades, the return sides of the entrances, and to walls inside the caves. According to Spink, "After 480, not a single image was ever made again at the site", and as Hinduism again dominated the region, the site was again abandoned, this time for over a millennium.
Spink does not use "circa" in his dates, but says that "one should allow a margin of error of one year or perhaps even two in all cases".
IMPACT ON MODERN INDIAN PAINTINGS
The Ajanta paintings, or more likely the general style they come from, influenced painting in Tibet and Sri Lanka.
The rediscovery of ancient Indian paintings at Ajanta provided Indian artists examples from ancient India to follow. Nandlal Bose experimented with techniques to follow the ancient style which allowed him to develop his unique style. Abanindranath Tagore also used the Ajanta paintings for inspiration.

ATHEISM - THE NEW MYTHOLOGY.
The so-called M theory or Multiverse.
An atheist idea which has become popular in the last few years, and is being enthusiastically promoted by the secular media is the idea that our universe is just one of an infinite number of universes - they call this the 'Multiverse'.
So is it credible?
An infinite number of universes, is just another unscientific, atheist myth, invented in order to get around the law of cause and effect, and the fact that the universe screams order and purpose. However, like all other atheist attempts to evade logic and natural law, the ‘multiverse’ concept is full of flaws and doomed to failure. It may sound plausible to those who are not willing to think for themselves, and are easily bamboozled by pronouncements that are claimed to be 'scientific', but it doesn’t stand up to any close scrutiny.
Firstly,
there is no evidence whatsoever for any other universe than this one.
Secondly,
a ‘multiverse’ is just as in need of a non-contingent, first cause as this single universe. Atheists try to get round the problem of a first cause by saying that the multiverse (and this universe) arose from ‘nothing’. Then they tell us we mustn’t think that idea is as crazy as it seems, because the ‘nothing’, they call nothing, wasn’t really nothing, but ‘something’, i.e. space/time.
Confusing or what?
So why do atheists refer to SOMETHING (space and time) which clearly isn’t NOTHING - as nothing?
The answer is simple … smoke and mirrors.
They know that people can accept the idea of an eternal nothingness, because ‘nothing’ in its true sense of the word (meaning NO thing) doesn’t need a first cause. It simply means non-existence of everything.
And that which doesn’t exist, doesn’t need a cause.
So for atheists to say the universe or multiverse came from nothing is a device to avoid explaining what caused that which existed before the universe.
However, the atheist’s ‘nothing’ actually turns out to be part of the material realm.
The atheist’s nothing is … ‘space’, and space is NOT nothing. Space is the medium which is around and between cosmic bodies.
In our universe, there is no such thing as empty space, even though it may look empty. We know that ‘space’ contains light, radio waves, gravitational forces, cosmic rays etc. Space is an integral part of the material universe, and is just as dependant on a first cause as the cosmic bodies it surrounds. The confusion between ‘space’ and ‘nothing’ is deliberate.
The space/time that atheists refer to as ‘nothing’ in their “UNIVERSE FROM NOTHING” scenario, apparently also contains energy and gravity.
Therefore, the atheist ‘nothing’ turns out to be - not nothing, but a definite SOMETHING, and an integral part of the material realm. Which means, like all material things, – space cannot be non-contingent or eternally self-existent. So atheists are back to square one with the major problem of explaining a 'natural' first cause, because they still need to explain what caused it (space) to exist?
Thirdly,
an infinite number of universes is logically and scientifically IMPOSSIBLE.
Why?
Because, if the infinite universes were all different, all with different natural laws and constants, they could not begin to exist.
If you believe in the big bang (as atheists do), you believe that this universe was only able to come into existence through the big bang because it had the right natural laws or physical constants. If gravity or the speed of light had been different in this universe, there could not have been a big bang, or the coalescence of matter into cosmic bodies.
In other words, with different natural laws, THIS universe could not have come into existence. So, with an infinite number of universes, all allegedly popping into existence in big bang-like scenarios from the nothing that is really something - most would NOT have similar, physical constants and laws to our universe. Therefore most would not be viable, and would not be capable of originating in a big bang-like scenario.
Indeed, the idea that the infinite number of universe are all different, is an essential part of atheism's multiverse scenario. If they all have laws the same as our universe, then the atheist idea that out of an infinite number of universes one must be well ordered, by sheer chance, is null and void.
So it is back to the drawing board.
The multiverse myth is a dead duck, logically and scientifically.
