Video interview: youtu.be/t4DivQnKNoI
Friday 3rd August 2012
I made my own multipass in 2011, as part of my Leeloo costume. I debuted the costume at AyaCon 2011, and I will be wearing it again at AmeCon 2012, next weekend.
It didn't take me too long to make, a lot of time was spent working out the dimensions, specific details, etc. There's even a print on the back that I recreated by looking at stills from The Fifth Element, but it's not as good as I'd like it to be.
One day I'd like to re-make my multipass, but this one does a pretty good job for now.
To be more specific, it's the Northern Reflecting Pool...
Madison Square is formed by the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway at 23rd Street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The square was named for James Madison, fourth President of the United States and the principal author of the United States Constitution. The focus of the square is Madison Square Park, a 6.2 acre public park.
The park and the square are at the northern end of the Flatiron District neighborhood of Manhattan. The use of "Madison Square" as a name for the neighborhood has fallen off, and it is rarely heard. The neighborhood to the north and west of the park is NoMad ("NOrth of MADison Square Park") and to the north and east is Rose Hill.
Notable buildings around Madison Square include the Flatiron Building, the Toy Center, the New York Life Building, and the
Met Life Tower. Another bit of trivia about the park, is that from 1876 to 1882, the torch and arm of the Statue of Liberty were
exhibited in the park in an effort to raise funds for the building of the pedestal of the statue.
Site-specific installation: Philips Hue light bulbs, Philips Hue wireless bridge, ethernet bridge, router, Raspberry Pi, open-source and custom software.
A former hairdressers on Arachovis Street forms the context for an installation of “smart” lights programmed according to statutory international working hours. Operating at fixed hours, they take into account the limits to weekly working hours, periods of rest and holiday. James Bridle employs the increasingly widespread technology of the “internet of things” to make visible the EU Working Time Directive (2003/88/EC) which was created to protect workers’ rights. When activated, the light bulbs shine continuously during working hours, go dim and change colour during overtime and non-working hours. In addition, the lights change periodically to visualise the different actual working hours around the globe.
Cheaper by the Dozen continues James Bridle’s interest in algorithmic law, the processes of automation, and the political implications of the "internet of things". By addressing the guidelines to working hours in the context of a deactivated hairdressers shop, the artist draws upon the sensitivities and prejudices inherent to national working rhythms and the gross domestic product. More specifically, Bridle took inspiration from Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, pioneers of scientific management and the study of time and motion, who measured and assessed workers’ productivity through the technique of light painting. Their theoretical heritage was fundamental to the deployment of labour practices in the 20th century, just as the implementation of often opaque political intent in software is fundamental to those of the 21st century. By inserting other social values into the software layer of contemporary labour practices, the work seeks to challenge the logic of technodeterminism and alienation deployed by late capitalism.

Woodcote Avenue, Wallington, Surrey
Vet. Rec. (1972). 90. 382-385
SUMMARY.-The correct specific and generic terminology for Brunus edwardii is discussed, and. the results given of a survey involving 1,599 complete specimens and 539 miscellaneous appendages. These results indicate that primary infectious agents do not occur, and that the species is safe for children to handle. Suggestions as to the future role of the profession in relation to this species are made.

Europa: Pasajes de Invierno, una instalación site specific de Florentino Díaz comisariada por Carlota Álvarez Basso para el programa de intervenciones Abierto x Obras, en la antigua cámara frigorífica de lo que fue el matadero municipal. La pieza se inscribe además en la programación de PhotoEspaña 2015.
La pieza conformada a partir de materiales de derribo, representa un barracón sobre el que no cesa de caer la lluvia. En su interior, pantallas de video nos muestran las imágenes de vidas anónimas del siglo XX, recogidas de álbumes encontrados en mercadillos, con el Winterreise (Viaje de invierno) de Schubert sonando de fondo. Según la comisaria Carlota Álvarez Basso, son “historias que hablan de los momentos de felicidad ajena que han caído en el olvido, de la fragilidad de nuestra existencia y de la inconsistencia de la memoria, tanto de la individual como de la colectiva”.
“El espectador debe recorrer estos pasajes de invierno a través de estos videos en los que, paradójicamente, no cabe imaginar el trágico destino que aguarda a sus protagonistas, y que nos hacen pensar en el incierto destino que nos espera” señala Florentino Díaz. Respecto al título, Díaz se inspira en El Libro de los Pasajes, el gran proyecto inacabado de Walter Benjamin, fallecido en 1940, que “cuestiona el desarrollo de una historia que hasta ese momento no había cumplido las expectativas de liberación humana, y que en sus ruinas mostraba la imposibilidad de alcanzar sus metas últimas”, explica el artista.
Las obras de Florentino Díaz (Cáceres - 1954) se caracterizan, desde los años 1990, por el uso de materiales e imágenes recuperadas, elementos aparentemente sencillos pero cargados de sentido y de connotación emocional. Desde hace muchos años Florentino Díaz ha ido guardando pequeños tesoros encontrados en el Rastro de Madrid o de las ciudades que visitaba en sus viajes. Objetos, libros, fotografías que a veces nos desvelan y otras se guardan los secretos de vidas e historias de otro tiempo. El artista es además un referente cuyo trabajo ha girado siempre en torno al concepto de lo doméstico, de la casa, concebida como un espacio cada vez más difícil de habitar. Sus instalaciones se han expuesto en centros nacionales e internacionales, como el CAB DE Burgos, MEIAC de Badajoz, Museo Barjola de Gijón, Casal Solleriç Espai 4 de Mallorca, Museo de Cáceres, Salón de los 16, Kunstamt Kreuzberg-Bethanien de Berlín, y en ferias como Art Cologne, MACO-MEXICO, Liste The Young Art Fair de Basel, Art Chicago, Busan Bienal de Corea. Y forma parte de colecciones privadas, museos e instituciones como CGAC de A Coruña, Colección La Caixa, Fundación Coca-Cola España, Colección Banco de España, Museo de Cáceres, entre otras.
Abierto x Obras
Abierto x Obras, en Matadero Madrid, es un programa de intervenciones site specific que incentiva el carácter experimental de la creación contemporánea a través de planteamientos que exploran la relación entre el arte y el lugar que lo acoge, la antigua cámara frigorífica del Matadero. Desde 2007 Abierto x Obras ha acogido las intervenciones de artistas como Daniel Canogar, Jannis Kounnellis, Román Signer, Carlos Garaicoa, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, Jordi Colomer, Los Carpinteros, Cristina Lucas, o Eugenio Ampudia, entre otros. Próximamente se podrá disfrutar del trabajo del artista británico Haroon Mirza.

A new world-class research and technology facility to support the growth of a new industry centre in Wales is to be opened in June by Mrs Edwina Hart, MBE CStJ AM, Minister for Economy, Science and Transport. The facility, based in Baglan, South Wales has been made possible by the SUPER project (SPECIFIC Up-scaling Pilot Engineering Resource) which has received almost £2 million funding through the Welsh Government’s Academic Expertise For Business programme (A4B).
Nothing specific about this marker, other than it's in a pretty location. There don't seem to be images of most markers, so it's worth putting it on-line.

The site specific installation traces what could be read as vectors describing the path of light beams through a window onto the floor. I’m not sure how to interpret the fact though, that the lines aren’t parallel? Succumbing to the temptation of speculation; the lower rows sweep out to the side closer to the floating etchings, perhaps like the transient movement of light over time? Its lines also diverge away from the wall, suggestive of nearby light source, perhaps artificial, but as it confronts visitors coming through the door of David Krut Gallery creates an almost teasing vortex.

As the name implies, the sculpture is in the form of an actual corridor. It measures eight feet tall, forty feet in length, and with a width of ten feet. The facing walls of the corridor are each formed by ten carved blocks of laminated sugar pine planks for an overall measurement each of 8' x 24½" x 16".
Within the concept “One man=all men,” VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography was conceived as an actual and metaphorical record of the journey through the life of the artist and, by extension, a projection of the possibilities we all share and may attain. Within both of the facing walls are ten carved life-size figures symbolically conjoined by arches to form a “corridor of the self.”
Prior to acquiring the materials necessary for the actualizing of the sculpture in wood, Robert Cremean spent two months creating a detailed preparatory study of the entire work, a process he had followed on only two prior occasions, one for DONOR WITH CRUCIFIXION and the other, although more suggestive than detailed, for HOMAGE TO PAUL APOSTLE. All of the pages of the original manuscript were published by Manuscript Press and may be found on its open website therein. From the first three pages of searching to the final pages of resolution, the artist’s graphic description of the three dimensional work provides us with the opportunity to read the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted symbolically through the human figure. Since this is an actual and a metaphorical autobiography, the Preparatory Study literarily addresses both.
It is very rare that a writer permits us to study his original unrevised and unedited manuscript and even more rare to have an opportunity to study the preparatory drawings and writings for a three dimensional work by a sculptor. With Vatican Corridor, A Non-Specific Autobiography we are permitted to experience, from the first three pages of searching to the final pages of resolution, the artist’s graphic description of a three dimensional work. This manuscript provides us with the opportunity to read the artist’s philosophical concepts for that specific work of art and to understand how these concepts are interpreted symbolically through the human figure. Because the basic philosophy—one man equals all men—is inherent in the work, the artist’s non-specific autobiography contains and is an extension of our own. And because each of the ten arches in the Preparatory Study and in the completed sculpture spans a period of three years in the artist’s life, the tenth arch was a projection five years into the future at last updated twenty two years later in the writing in 1995 and with the publication by Manuscript Press in 1996 of The Tenth Arch, the sculptural tenth arch realized in the form of a book.
The first figure of the Outer Wall is nearly fully revealed in the round. But by the Tenth Arch, it has been transposed into a negative, much like a waste-mold, only the egg shape of the final transposition still in place. Block by block and transposition after transposition, the three-dimensional figure is displaced by a concavity as the wall that contained it grows thicker and thicker. The reverse is true in each of the corresponding figures and blocks of the Inner Wall. Each part of the human figure is symbolic of a particular sense and/or concept and with its transference the figure of the Inner Wall becomes more complete.
But why is the piece called VATICAN CORRIDOR? When the artist first walked through the almost endless corridors of the Vatican Museum, he was struck by the glory and spaciousness of the place, by the number of sculptures there, by the fact that they were neutered by a fig leaf and that only a few of the works met his definition of being a “transparency.”As a result of this experience, he chose to name the sculpture VATICAN CORRIDOR, A Non-Specific Autobiography. On the fourth page of the manuscript, based upon this experience, is provided a statement as to the philosophical intent of the sculpture:
"The enclosure of one metaphor by another—one culture by another—one time segment by another. 'Paganism' is preserved through forfeit of genitalia—neutered by a fig leaf. Miles of historical artifacts enclosed within an historical artifact. And yet there are a few presences that are not dead—not neutered. A few glimpses—Man existing without metaphor. A few Transparencies. Are these not worth the endless walk?"

This site-specific video installation is about removing people from their terrestrial urban experience and placing them, for just a few moments, at the zenith of the over and the nadir of the under, which is to say, above the clouds and below the sea.
This installation took place in Harlem, New York, from October 11th, 2012 – October 28th, 2012. It was produced in partnership with Chashama and the New York Foundation for The Arts' Curatorial Program.

The Ambient Performance of Quiet Spaces is a site-specific exploration of experience at the border of perception and imagination. It was set in Washington DC’s McKinley Theater in the Carnegie Library and performed continually between 8pm-3am. The Carnegie Library, the first public library in Washington, was decommissioned in the late 70’s and it is now a performance and event venue.
In this work, the shared physical, public space of the library is reconfigured so that its new visitors: the audience, robotic cameras and performers are equally engaged in moments of private and public reflection. The form of the work is the active transposition of subject and object and of content and meaning between these three constituencies. This process of transposition is a reference to contemporary digital culture’s ongoing assimilation of earlier cultural forms.
Working with performer Nick Horan, we each took turns on stage, quietly reading and at times engaging with the installation. Two PTZ IP cameras were programed to scan the stage, the audience and each other, similarly pondering their environment. The resulting images were projected onto the screen behind the stage. A soundtrack composed of ambient sounds from existing public libraries, recordings of the preparation of the materials for the installation and ambient sounds from recent installations played quietly throughout the performances.
The Ambient Performance of Quiet Spaces featured an installation of various materials on the stage of the theater that included: card catalog cards, *prepared books (with tape, acetate, LEDs/electronics/code), cables, computers, projectors and IP cameras.
*prepared books included:
> James Joyce’s Ulysses containing excerpts from Emmanuel Levinas’ Totality and Infinity
> John Beecroft’s Kipling: A Selection of His Stories and Poems containing card catalog cards for books related to technology and its impact on the library system
> John B. Noss’ Man’s Religions
> Milan Kundera’s The Unbearable Lightness of Being

In specific, Holy Week is the week just before Easter that extends from Palm Sunday until Holy Saturday and marks the last week of Lent. It has earned the name 'Holy', according to the Orthodox Church, due to the significant events that take place for Christianity in regard to the sufferings of Jesus Christ.
Saturday evening is filled with the anticipation of celebrating Easter Sunday. In some areas, people begin to gather in the churches and squares in cities, towns and villages by 11pm for the Easter liturgies. A few minutes before midnight, all the lights are turned off and the priest exits the altar holding candles lit by the Holy Light, which is distributed to everyone inside and outside the church. At midnight, the priest exits the church and announces the resurrection of Jesus. Many people carry large white candles called lambada, and the church bells toll as the priests announce “Christ is Risen!” at midnight. Each person in the crowd replies with a similarly joyous response.

Specific Farm Uses for Wood Vinegar:
The Appropriate Technology Association of Thailand recommends the following wood vinegar/water solution rates for various farm uses:
• Repel nematodes – Tomatoes, 1:500 (apply to the base of plants); strawberries, 1:200 (apply to the base of plants); and black pepper vines, 1:1500 (apply in place of water).
• Repel insect pests – Cabbage and Chinese cabbage, 1:1500 (apply in place of water); corn 1:300 (spray onto leaves).
• Control of fungal diseases – Tomato and cucumber, 1:200 (spray onto leaves).
• Control of root rot – Tomato and cucumber, 1:200 (apply to the base of plants).
• Reduce incidence of chili pepper flowers aborting – 1:300 (spray onto leaves).
• Improve flavor of sweet fruits and stimulate development of crops. Mix solution rates of 1:500 to 1:1000. Wood vinegar prevents excessive nitrogen levels, improves plant metabolism and contributes to higher fruit sugar levels.
• Stimulate compost production. A solution rate of 1:100 will help increase the biological activity of various beneficial microbes and can decrease composting times.
• Combat bad odor. A wood vinegar solution of 1:50 will diminish the production of odor-causing ammonia in animal pens.
• Supplement for livestock feed. Mixed with livestock feed at rates of between 1:200 and 1:300, wood vinegar can adjust bacterial levels in the animal digestive tract which improve the absorption of nutrients from feed.
• Enrich garden soil. Use a strong solution of 1:30 to apply to the garden soil surface at a rate of 6 liters of solution per 1m² to enrich the soil prior to planting crops. To control soil-based plant pathogens, use an even stronger rate of application.
