dSatellite is a site-specific architectural structure that extends the mission of DFLUX (www.dflux.org), a Detroit-based research studio and residency program, further into its community. DFLUX engages its local neighborhood and the general public with creative actions, research, and workshops. In so doing, they hope to reveal and create emergent and sustainable cottage industries. dSatellite was created with the intention of providing future DFLUX participants and local residents with an outpost to engage in various field research. Constructed with foraged building materials, dSatellite merges both the physical and conceptual characteristics of the DFLUX Residency site and a typical nature blind used by naturalists, scientists, photographers and hunters. dSatellite is currently deployed in a completely razed residential neighborhood of Detroit currently referred to as the "field" by local residents and "Renaissance Zone" by real estate developers. A dense urban forest, rich with wildlife, has grown there, only crumbling roads and alleys, debris piles, and public utilities remain as signs of past use.

•List the facts specific to each event
•In early 1965, Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) made Selma, Alabama, the focus of its efforts to register black voters in the South. That March, protesters attempting to march from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery were met with violent resistance by state and local authorities. As the world watched, the protesters (under the protection of federalized National Guard troops) finally achieved their goal, walking around the clock for three days to reach Montgomery. The historic march, and King's participation in it, greatly helped raise awareness of the difficulty faced by black voters in the South, and the need for a Voting Rights Act, passed later that year.

•The specific date(s) of each major event.
•June 21, 1964
•What city and state was the event sited.
•Neshoba County, Mississippi
•Who were the major players involved in the event.
• James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner
•List the facts specific to each event
•Civil rights organizations including the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) urged white students from the North to travel to Mississippi, where they helped register black voters and build schools for black children. It established 30 “Freedom Schools” in towns throughout Mississippi. The summer had barely begun, however, when three volunteers–Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, both white New Yorkers, and James Chaney, a black Mississippian–disappeared on their way back from investigating the burning of an African-American church by the Ku Klux Klan.
Location: Xi'an
Specific Location: Xi'an Bell Tower
The bell and drum tower are always next or close to each other. It is very important to Chinese culture. Bells are rung in the bell tower in the morning to signal people the start of a new day. Drums are beat during dusk to signal people that the day has ended. You can see this pattern repeated throughout all major architectures such as temples in China.

Bella's Sick, and not in the street way the kids use it. Artifically created Bella has installed a pile of sick like liquid in a space, quoting Susan Collis an influence. Julia used to work with Susan so the idea was thourghly examined. The idea of constructing images and work comes up, and it is decided that Bella follow a route of either trying to examine genuine incidents or exaggerating the constructed. Bella is going to try and challenge her audience again, she wants there to be more depth to her work offer her audience choice.

Dopo il successo dell’edizione 2021, torna la masterclass di Fine Arts “Sacralità/Sacro – Installazione collaborativa site specific”.
Dal 4 al 12 aprile si è tenuta nuovamente la masterclass di Fine Arts a cura del docente Umberto Giovannini, durante la quale gli studenti hanno realizzato un progetto collettivo “site specific”. L’intento della masterclass è quello di indagare il concetto di “sacro” e di “sacralità”, e di rileggerlo e interpretarlo attraverso l’esperienza della contemporaneità. Si è proceduto quindi in un percorso di indagine iconografica e degli spazi in una visione psico-geografica, con cui entrare nella dinamica dello spazio. L’opera è stata realizzata attraverso il multiplo xilografico e l’installazione è stata collocata all’interno del RUFA Space, lo spazio dell’anima, presso la sede RUFA Pastificio Cerere e nel cuore del distretto di San Lorenzo.
Umberto Giovannini
Professore Ordinario di Arte & Design alla Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
Dopo un triennio in Graphic Communication Design e una laurea in Storia dell’Arte, inizia a lavorare come grafico e incisore. Le sue incisioni, installazioni e libri d’artista sono esposti a livello internazionale. Nel 2009 fonda il centro internazionale per la grafica a basso impatto ambientale Opificio della Rosa. È presidente della Renate Herold Czaschka, Fondazione dedicata all’arte grafica.

(HGM 2289 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"3397 Gascony" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Tangerine" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey made - in this case, orangish to orangish-red.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From Bredehoft (2004):
Tangerine: 1932-1935. An orange glass. The glass was struck (reheated) to produce deepening color. Because of this, tangerine can look orange and sometimes almost red. Pressed pieces can exhibit an amberina-type coloration. While oral history indicates this was developed by Olson himself, his records indicate he did get some help!
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

The world is a big place to explore. Where do you begin? One might ask. And in most cases people might say anywhere. But let's be more specific with this and begin in your own backyard.
I ind funny how sometimes people forget to explore there own backyards / neighborhood. I know these places can be taken for granted because we are in them everyday and always know that they will be there.
Some might say that my neighborhood does have much to offer but I say it would if you looked hard enough. You will find amazing and surprising things if you just look. Try it out, see what you can find out about your neighborhood. The results may just surprise you.
If you are lucky enough to live in a big city are multiple opportunities to go explore. On this day I explored more of San Diego. The places that went to are places that I have on buck list and places where I once only drive by. To most this places are not the typical tourist spots or the places that you see in magazines but to me these are special places that are meant for the locals. These places are special because they are your special places that you only know about. I'm pretty sure that most places have these kind places. And sometimes these are areas of town that have the most awesome views or even the most awesome histories. But to find these places you just have to get out their on your two feet, four wheels, and an open mind, and you will find them.
Seek like you are on a adventure and don't be scared to make the wrong turn. Sometimes that is all that explorations need. Get lost and enjoy it.

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.

A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.
