An interactive beer tasting developed using Tangible Engine software (tangibleengine.com/) that utilizes Ideum touch tables (www.ideum.com/products/touch-tables). In this prototype bar-goers can learn about variety of beers that are automatically detected as the glass is placed on the multitouch table.
The exhibition shows through fourteen interactive stations that the fate of man is tied together with the fate of the seabirds along the coast of Norway.
In short; The fact that our birds, our old way of life and our climate are threatened are intertwined, and they all result from our globalized way of life.
When designing the exhibition the goal was to, by provocative and evocative installations, motivate people to action rather than overload them with information or preach to them with morals. The focus was on interactivity rather than on a passive intake of information.
The installations are quite unique where tangibility plays a key role and adds to the playfulness of the experience, but we also used Kinect motion tracking for a “full body interaction” when needed.
Together this creates a meaningful experience where guests are involved to be co-creators through multiple interactions.
The exhibition was designed by Gagarin and Batteriid Architects aſter winning a 1 prize in a competition for the project.

ROMA ARCHEOLOGICA & RESTAURO ARCHITETTURA 2021. News from Rome - the Restoration of the Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum. New photographs shows a drawing graffiti of a horse, donkey or lion from the Medieval thru Renaissance era? IL MESSAGGERO (17/07/2021) & TG1 / ParCo / You-Tube (18/05/2021) & THE FORGOTTEN SYMBOL OF MUNICIPAL ROME / ART FOCUS / MILESTONE ROME (26 APRIL 2015). wp.me/pbMWvy-1KD
1). RARA 2021 - News from Rome - the Restoration of the Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum. New photographs shows a drawing / graffiti of a horse, donkey or lion from the Medieval era? IL MESSAGGERO (21/07/2021) & TG1 / ParCo / You-Tube (18/05/2021).
ROME - Il Messaggero (21/07/2021) published the following article and video on the ongoing restoration of the Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum (January thru July 2021) =
--- ROMA – I batteri salvano l’Arco di Settimio Severo con un restauro «bio»: scoperta una porta segreta. IL MESSAGGERO (17/07/2021) [see link below].
One of the more interesting aspects of the video, it shows what maybe either a horse, donkey or lion (?) graffiti etched in the upper levels of the Arch, as shown in the following photograph / screenshot here:

While the Il Messaggero article does not state whether the graffiti etched on the Arch is horse, donkey or lion?
It is interesting to note that the Lion has been the earlier Medieval thru Renaissance era symbol of Rome, as shown on the following illustration (right / side) =

Likewise, in the following article in: THE FORGOTTEN SYMBOL OF MUNICIPAL ROME / ART FOCUS / MILESTONE ROME (26 APRIL 2015) (07/2021).
It mentions the following relating to the Lion as the symbol of Rome:
"In the History of the Capitoline collection of antiquities up to the inauguration of the museum, Michaelis intended to retrace the story of this group sculpture, starting from the study of some sketches by Maerten van Heemskerck."
www.flickr.com/photos/imperial_fora_of_rome/51327897424
"One of these, the folio 61, depicts an interesting view of the Campidoglio from the inferior loggia of the Palazzo dei Conservatori and it can be connected to the Roman stay of the Dutch artist, dating within the 1530s, before the piazza would have been involved by Michelangelo’s interventions [Note: the Lion sculpture at the top of the stairs in the center of the drawing]. This sketch already shows the well recognizable fragmentary group accommodated on the staircase of the Palazzo Senatorio, on the side of its balustrade oriented towards the Aracoeli. [6]"

The symbol of municipal Rome - The choice of an Ancient artwork in such civic symbolization is very meaningful. In the heart of Rome’s municipality, the sculpture was the tangible witness of the Roman illustrious past and the strength of the allegory of the civic “good government” (Buongoverno) as well as the probable allusion to the justice enforcement lied in the feline figure dominating the noble equine. The lion was used, in fact, to symbolize the “majesty of the Roman People” [12], also in the numismatic production, as depicted on a 13th century denarius.

Cola di Rienzo himself wrote that “the walls of Rome are built almost lion-shaped”. [13] The Ancient artwork marked moreover an historic connection with the earlier Middle Age period, when the sentences were declared and the convicted were executed in front of the She-wolf bronze sculpture, symbol of justice at the campus Lateranensis. [6] In 1471, pope Sisto IV decided to move the She-wolf to the keeping of the Conservators together with other three ancient bronzes which were so far conserved in or in front of the Patriarchio lateranense. The She-wolf was set on the Palazzo dei Conservatori façade, above the entrance, as showed by Heemskerck’s sketch conserved in Berlin. [14] The honorable location of the She-wolf was assimilated in the papal intent to replace the lion as the iconic symbol of Rome, a substitution that has endured up to the present. [13]
[End of Text]
While it is to early to tell what the graffiti etched on the Arch is? A horse, donkey or lion?
Let hope in the future the Italian restoration specialists, the restoration architects and the restoration architects affiliated with the Parco archeologico del Colosseo publishs either more information online or in a detailed volume on the ongoing restoration of the Arch of Septimius Severus in the Roman Forum.

From the autumn 2016 trip to Vietnam:
If ever there were a good way to finish up a trip, this particular Sunday in October would be it. Before arriving in Hanoi, I honestly had exceptionally low expectations. A bit like Saigon, if you are to go online and try to look up a list of places to visit – basically a tourist’s stock photography checklist, as it may be – you don’t find much that’s appealing. Well…I didn’t, anyway, and as a result, I had pretty low expectations for Hanoi.
The charm and beauty of Hanoi, however, isn’t in any one particular place. It’s in the experience of the entire city. (I’d say the same for Saigon, but multiply that a few times for Hanoi.) On this day in the Old Quarter in particular, I kept finding myself thinking, “Oh, my God, I shouldn’t be this lucky as a photographer…” Today ended up being mostly about people, with a little food and historical locations mixed in.
As I mentioned in the last set of posting, today would start off a bit sad with Junebug leaving for China a day before I would. So, we were checked out of our room by 6:00 in the morning or so. The breakfast at the Art Trendy was wonderful. Buffet with a mix of made-to-order omelets mixed in. Strong work, Art Trendy, strong work…
When June left, I really had nothing to do since it was still six in the morning and I was temporarily homeless as I had to switch hotels. So…I sat around the lobby for about two hours (possibly slightly awkward for the poor girls working there, but oh, well; I had to sit somewhere).
Around 8:00, I finally dragged my old bones out of the hotel and walked the five to ten minutes down the street to the Aquarius, where I politely asked them to hold my non-camera bag until I come back around 1:00 in the afternoon to check in.
After that, I was finally off with my cameras to enjoy an early Sunday morning in the bustling Old Quarter. On the street where the hotel is situated are a number of restaurants where locals were jammed in to enjoy noodles, steamed buns, and the like. It was wonderful to be among that crowd (though someone tried to scold me ever so slightly for taking pictures of people eating).
Since this was right next to St. Joseph’s Cathedral – and it was Sunday morning – I found my way back into the church where we crashed the wedding the afternoon before and realized that I almost got locked into Sunday mass while walking around taking pictures. So…I stayed. I prayed. And my prayer was answered when I realized the side doors and even the back door were open. (Ok…I didn’t really think I was locked in a church, but it did feel like it a little bit.)
Upon exiting the church, a handful of frames under my belt, I walked along the lovely streets photographing shops and people. At Caphe, I piggybacked on someone else’s photo shoot – it looked like they were doing a promo for the place, or possibly just a personal shoot for five women, though I have a feeling it was the former. At any rate, I was quite pleased with that little set and am presenting quite a few of those here, even if they’re a little redundant.
My ultimate goal with this wandering was to find my way to the Hanoi Hilton. Now, I’m not taking about the hotel chain, of course, but rather the prison that U.S. prisoners of war sarcastically called the Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War. (This is the prison where Senator John McCain was interred while a POW, and there are one or two pictures to that effect here.)
This prison has a particularly interesting history (and morbid since…well…it’s a prison). It’s about a hundred years old and was founded by the French colonialists around the turn of the 20th century. During the first 50 years of its history, the French imprisoned Vietnamese insurgents and those who wanted independence. In the eyes of the French…renegades (hence the imprisonment). In the eyes of the Vietnamese – especially the current government – patriots and national heroes. If they were truly freedom fighters, then I would probably side with the current government on that one.
The French even had a guillotine installed here and overcrowding was a major problem. There were plenty of escape attempts, and more were successful than you may think, which is a little peculiar.
After the battle of Bien Dien Phu and the ejection of the French from the north (and before the U.S. got involved in the south), the prison changed hands and was under control of Ho Chi Minh. During the Vietnam War, it became one of the main prisons for U.S. POWs, as I alluded to above.
The propaganda claims that the Vietcong were absolutely humane and decent with U.S. prisoners, allowing them to observe their religious rites (Christmas celebrations, etc.), allowed prisoners to smoke and enjoy leisure (board games, basketball, etc.), and claimed they were well-fed.
This is certainly how it’s presented in the prison/museum currently. If you were to go online, though, and try to find a contrary report, you would find that this was all coerced and staged to make it appear as if things were on the up and up. (For anyone curious, per my Vietnamese friends, the general education in Vietnam today is how terrible the French and U.S. were for colonizing and torturing the country and keeping it from its independence.)
So, what’s the truth of what really happened? Who knows? Outside of firsthand accounts, it’s impossible to know for certain and even then, memory can be a tricky thing. I tend to like to say the truth is always somewhere between two opposing viewpoints, no matter what the topic may be.
From an impartial and purely photographic point of view, the prison, currently a museum/memorial, is an interesting place to spend an hour or two. Some of the exhibits seem a bit cheesy, but some are quite tasteful and well done. There’s also an informational video. You’ll have to see this with a bit of imagination (the prison, that is), as at least half of it has been leveled for high rise buildings. At least there’s some tangible piece of it left to visit, including the main gate (Maison Centrale).
After about two hours here at the Hanoi Hilton, I walked over towards the Opera House to get a few daytime shots but, really, to get lunch at El Gaucho. I was looking forward to a proper steak. The prices were astronomical (though justifiable based on what I ate), though I just opted for a steak salad. It was so good I contemplated going back for dinner, but had other plans.
With a happy stomach, I went back to finally check in at the Aquarius Hotel and got my workout huffing up six flights of stairs each time I went out. I relaxed here for a few hours until 4:00 when a dear friend of mine came to town to see me.
Ngan and I had an ice cream at Baskin Robbins right in front of St. Joe’s before heading over to the Temple of Literature. This is a temple dedicated to education and, bless my soul, it’s a place where university graduates come for graduation pictures.
On this particular day – a warm, sunny, late Sunday afternoon – it was packed with college students. And it was beautiful to see that many people happy, full of hopes and dreams, and dressed in either cap and gown or traditional Vietnamese clothes. In short…I had a field day shooting for an hour here.
Around 5:00, Ngan had to head back to school, and I went back to my hotel. I had one more meeting. Hoa, who traveled around Thailand & Cambodia with me in May, flew back to see me this evening. She picked me up at 6:00 on her scooter and rode me all around Hanoi by evening.
She started by taking me to Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum (which I consider a lot more photogenic in its setting than the Great Gangster’s Mausoleum on Tiananmen Square). This one, at least, was in a parklike setting. At evening, it’s well-lit and you can find people relaxing in the grass in front of it. During the day, you can visit and there are quite a few buildings behind the mausoleum that you can also see.
After a few minutes here, Hoa took me by West Lake – the largest lake in Hanoi, as I mentioned yesterday – and just drove me around for over an hour, it seemed. My impressions that Hanoi (even out of the Old Quarter) seemed to be a good place to live – though I’d be concerned about the air pollution – and people here seemed to be happy. Also…Vietnamese really love their coffee.
We finally returned to the Old Quarter for dinner at one of the famous restaurants she recommended and she treated me to a wonderful dinner. I can’t recall what we ate (the Vietnamese names of it, anyway), but it was nice.
After dinner, she drove me over towards the Opera House and then, finally, we stopped by Hoan Kiem Lake in the heart of the Quarter and walked around the lake. It was getting close to 10:00 by this time, and I wanted to get back to the hotel to get a few hours sleep before waking up for my early flight in the morning. Hoa came to the airport with me to see me off.
If ever there were a great way to finish a great trip, this was it. I absolutely loved Vietnam – honestly, a lot more than I imagined I would, even with every single person I know who’d ever come here saying what a fantastic country this is – and would gladly come back. This seems to be one of the kinds of countries that you would never get tired of or, if you did, it would sure take a long time. With that, I’ll bid goodbye to Vietnam for now with the hopes that I’ll someday return to this land of amazing food, landscapes, and people.
As always, thanks for dropping by and viewing these pictures. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments and I’ll answer as I have time.

ROMA - App 3D Rome Imperial Fora, 3D ROME - Ricostruzioni 3D Archeologia, Roma (2015) [Prossimo | Forthcoming & Italiano | English].
ITALIANO - Il progetto 3DROME - ha come obiettivo lo sviluppo e la divulgazione della conoscenza della città di Roma nelle varie epoche storiche per consentire a tutti di apprezzare le trasformazioni del paesaggio urbano dall´antichità ai giorni nostri. L´ esame delle fonti, archeologiche storiche e iconografiche, ha permesso di materializzare la forma della città in modelli 3D di ricostruzione urbana.
3DRome consente di viaggiare attraverso il tempo:
Il visitatore virtuale può esplorare la città in real time attraversando scenari sovrapponibili che segnano le tappe principali dello sviluppo urbano in età romana, nel medioevo e nel rinascimento, in epoca moderna. Si ricompone così la memoria perduta dei luoghi rendendola disponibile al visitatore contemporaneo che, attraverso un tablet, può ricevere le informazioni in realtà aumentata trovandosi in quegli stessi posti o altrove. Il reale si trasforma in un ipertesto concreto che restituisce la memoria della città attraverso l´informazione e la sensazione.
ENGLISH - The 3D Rome project aims to develop and divulge knowledge of the city of Rome’s history in such a way that anyone can appreciate the transformations of the urban landscape from antiquity to the present day. A study of the historical, archaeological, and iconographic sources has made it possible to reconstruct the city in 3D models.
3D Rome makes it possible to travel through time:
the virtual visitor can explore the city in real time through a series of superimposable scenes that mark the main phases of the city’s development in the Roman, medieval, Renaissance, and modern periods. In this way the lost memory of places is reassembled, making it available to the modern visitor who, by using a tablet, can receive the information in augmented reality thus finding him or herself in these places or elsewhere. Reality is transformed into a tangible hypertext that restores the memory of the city through information and sensations.

This application allows everyone to appreciate the transformations of Rome from antiquity until the present day, in a central point of the city, the area of the Imperial Fora.
The project created by 3DRome permits a real journey through time that can take place both on site and elsewhere. The virtual visitor finds himself immersed in scenes that can be superimposed and highlight the main stages in the city’s development.
In this first version the areas of Trajan’s Forum and the Forum of Augustus can be explored.
The Imperial Fora App is an educational instrument based on the most recent scientific research carried out in this part of Rome.
Starting in the present day city, after the 20th century demolitions and excavations, the area can be visited in various historical periods:
- In 125 AD, with the monumental complexes of the Roman period
- In the early Renaissance (1450), when the area once occupied by the Imperial Fora was at the edge of the city
- In 1750, following the intensive urbanisation that began at the end of the 16th century
- In 1825, with the excavations promoted by the French government in Trajan’s Forum

Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and iconic elements of regional art. Evidence of pottery has been found in the early settlements of Mehrgarh from the Indus Valley Civilisation. Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced in India and Pakistan -though not such extensively as the modernization of living customs as effected this sector most.
This form of art is generally used nowadays to decorate the drawing or the living rooms where many of the articles of this craft are used extensively.
Few of the professionals from Karachi, Hala, Multan and other cities are of great skill and are so proficient that their workmanship is liked abroad as well and they export their product abroad which is a plus for this industry.

Since 2007, the LUX Prize has been a tangible expression of Parliament's belief in the creativity and talent in Europe's film industry, in its ability to reflect the wealth and diversity of European culture, and its capacity to stimulate reflection and debate on Europe, its values and its future.
It is awarded annually based on voting by MEPs. In the end three films are shortlisted for the award. The winner will receive financial support from the Parliament to subtitle the film into the 23 European Union official languages, including an adaptation for visually or hearing-impaired people and to produce a 35 mm print or a digital cinema package for each Member State.
Previous winners were "Auf der anderen Seite" in 2007, "Le silence de Lorna" in 2008, "Welcome" in 2009, "Die Fremde" in 2010.
This year the three finalists for the 2011 LUX prize were: Greece's "Attenberg" by Athina Rachel Tsangari. France's "Les neiges du Kilimandjaro" by Robert Guédiguian and "Play" by Ruben Östlund - a Swedish, French, Danish production.
Today it has been announced by the European Parliament president Jerzy Buzek the name of the winner: the French director Robert Guédiguian with "Les neiges du Kilimandjaro".

In the study of the universe, light is the one of the main sources of information accessible to us. Using satellites and telescopes, we collect the light of astronomical objects. First, each object appears as a single cloud of light. In the closer analysis of light, we recognize its nature and can distinguish stars from galaxies. In the virtual environment, numerical satellite data is translated into light sculptures and light is made tangible by haptic stimuli.

Let's talk about our beliefs, and what we can learn about them. We believe nature is solid, and time a constant. Matter has substance and time a direction. There is truth in flesh and the solid ground. The wind may be invisible, but it's real. Smoke, fire, water, light - they're different! Not as to stone or steel, but they're tangible. And we assume time is narrow because it is as a clock - one second is one second for everyone! Cause precedes effect - fruit rots, water flows downstream. We're born, we age, we die. The reverse NEVER happens... None of this is true! Say goodbye to classical reality, because our logic collapses on the subatomic level... into ghosts and shadows.

Gagarin’s most recent production is the Wild Reindeer Exhibition in the Nationalpark Centre in Hardangervidda. The exhibition is comprised of 13 interactive installations where users get to explore and experience, via tangible and unique solutions, the various historical, biological and social aspects related to the existence of this wild creature.
Gagarin‘s role in this project was the concept design, script writing, construction of prototypes, media design, programming, media technology planning and construction of the installations.
The exhibition was designed by Torbjørn Nielssen from Spekter AS and Rjukan Data Service provided the IT hardware. The project leader was Per Lykke.
The Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite, located between Greybull and Shell along the Red Gulch/Alkali National Backcountry Byway, preserves the tangible remains of a population of meat-eating dinosaurs that traveled an ancient tidal flat 167 million years ago. It is the largest tracksite in Wyoming and one of only a few worldwide from the Middle Jurassic Period.
Since its official dedication in 2002, the tracksite has undergone many improvements, including a shade shelter, T-rex boardwalk, picnic area and interpretive signage. The tracksite can be found along the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway, which is approximately eight miles east of Greybull off of U.S. Highway 14.

The first Rosary for Peace of 2014 at my parish church was marked by a tangible sense of "contentment" and spiritual presence, followed by a surprise appearance of "escarchas", the mysterious shiny flakes of manna.
Immediately after the Rosary Prayer ended, many of us expressed our satisfaction about how good it felt to begin the year with the Rosary... and with Jesus and Our Lady being invited to be a part of our new year; definitely a great way to welcome in 2014.
For details and to view additional photos and a short video of the escarchas manifesting at this prayer event, please visit my Guadalupe House Blogsite.

Pottery in the Indian subcontinent has an ancient history and is one of the most tangible and iconic elements of regional art. Evidence of pottery has been found in the early settlements of Mehrgarh from the Indus Valley Civilisation. Today, it is a cultural art that is still practiced in India and Pakistan -though not such extensively as the modernization of living customs as effected this sector most.
This form of art is generally used nowadays to decorate the drawing or the living rooms where many of the articles of this craft are used extensively.
Few of the professionals from Karachi, Hala, Multan and other cities are of great skill and are so proficient that their workmanship is liked abroad as well and they export their product abroad which is a plus for this industry.

The energy was tangible at this year's PMA Fresh Connections: Retail! Over 170 attendees gathered April 11-12 at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott to make new connections and gain new business solutions. From the cocktail reception and immersive UnConference to the optional Produce Rescue Glean and Produce Retail Tour, attendees were surrounded by peers and potential partners at every turn, and the buzz could be felt over the entire two days.
Ideum's new Can It Kill You? application lets guests at the Fall 2017 Open House investigate mysterious samples--including their lethal potential. The app was created with the Tangible Engine Media Creator, which allows designers to build elegant and compelling object-recognition apps with little or no coding required.
