Title from some random YouTube video from Kurzgesagt about universal quantum collapse. Interesting but terrifying.

Meet the Canadian artist Rodney Graham who likes to stage himself in different situations. Here he performs the role of an old-fashioned art dealer, not in the least bothered to smoke a pipe in his gallery, while vacuuming the carpet on the floor.
Graham and his assistants created the whole setting, including the modernistic paintings on the wall, in the style of Rodchenko. This snapshot is just a detail of a panoramic lightbox in four parts.
I wrote a review about this work of art, which was published in The Hague's weekly newspaper. You can also find the article here on Facebook.
A colleague of mine, philosophy professor, was pestered by his students that he ought to look into himself when searching for answers. His reply was, that he had done so. "There is nothing in it", he said. It is a frightening answer. I would modify it by saying that everything that is in me I have put there myself - either actively by doing so, or passively, by allowing it to be put there. And that is frightening as well. To be fully responsible without knowing the answers, perhaps not even to be aware of the right kind of questions. This is a dilemma we should not run away from. Pseudo-certainties will not only not help, they are dangerous as well. But we can talk about the human dilemma. Perhaps agree on ways forward. "Nobody is perfect" is a helpful assumption. Knowing this is what makes us human. Leica M Mono, plus Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F8 (focus achieved in Live View).
Double glazed windows are slightly concave due to the vacuum in between the two panes of glass which results in significant distortion. This is the sun shining on our house reflected in the window opposite with a tracery of malus floribunda branches in the foreground. It's a different kind of image for me but it made an interesting change.
Stadsgraanzuiger No19 Getreideheber Infos*
Der Weltweit einzige noch Existierende Dampf-Getreideheber.
Das Prinzip ist einfach und doch unvorstellbar, und funktioniert wie ein Staubsauger.
Das MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) und das Maritime Museum Rotterdam haben für dieses besondere Schiff eine Art Plan für ein geteiltes Sorgerecht erarbeitet.
Der Getreideheber steht unter gemeinsamer Mittelverwaltung und legt eine Hälfte der Zeit in Antwerpen und die andere Hälfte in Rotterdam an.
Aber, nach einer 92-jährigen Karriere fängt selbst so eine großartige Maschine wie der Getreideheber an, einige Schwächen zu zeigen.
Sowohl der Ponton, der Turm als auch die Elektronik müssen restauriert werden, um das Ganze dauerhaft und für die Zukunft funktionsfähig zu halten.
Deswegen wird der Getreideheber voraussichtlich zwei Jahre in Rotterdam bleiben, bevor er wieder nach Antwerpen kommt.

Grain lifter 19 Infos*
The principle is simple yet unimaginable, and works like a vacuum cleaner.
The World's only surviving steam grain lifter.
The MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have developed a kind of plan for shared custody for this particular ship.
The cereal lifter is under joint management and spends half of its time in Antwerp and the other half in Rotterdam.
But, after a 92-year career, even such a great machine as the grain lifter is starting to show some weaknesses.
Both the pontoon, the tower and the electronics need to be restored to keep the whole thing permanent and functional for the future.
For this reason, the grain lifter is expected to stay in Rotterdam for two years before coming back to Antwerp.

Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Week. ✌
Keeping it free from tree debris etc
Easier than mowing.
The machine propels itself forward slightly too.
I won’t do it again until Autumn. 3 or 4 times a year in all.

This is what happens when I don't feel like going out on a Friday night, I've got lots of beer in my fridge, I really need to vacuum my apartment, and I've been listening to super-hyper rockabilly on KEXP. And I have to do a 365 and feel like using strobes. My downstairs neighbors probably want to kill me.

A bright sunbeam tore its way through a slightly opened roof window, through a small gap betweeen the door and its frame, shining down our stairs, just to reveal to me: Get the vacuum cleaner!

"Hope our vacuum is hungry," stated Phillip.
"Oh he is. He hasn't been fed in weeks! Well, since he ate mom's ring and refused to reveal its whereabouts!"
"Are you sure this is how mom wanted the Christmas mess cleaned up, because once he eats it, he won't want to give it back for next year."
"I already thought about that. I filled him up on old salami and moldy leftovers. Once we are done cleaning, we will just open him up and take out what we need before he has time to digest it or throw it up...whichever comes first!"
"Marble, you are the smartest!"
We went upstairs to escape the vacuum and the crazy lady who runs it all the time. The look on the cat's face is one of great confusion and worry, "Why does this keep happening? When can we leave?"
