Kerim Aydogdyev, visually impaired conducts the first training on computer basics for the group of visually impaired women

[un]wired is an installation that visually and sonically interprets wireless network traffic.

 

The first iteration of the project by Jesse Allison, John Fillwalk and Keith Kothman designed and produced an outdoor interactive digital installation interpreting the wireless data infrastructure at Ball State University. Beginning the evening of April 18 and running through April 19, this digital media sculpture, consisting of 4 projection screens, computers, speakers and lights, broadcasted interactive media that reacts to the amount of traffic on the campus’ 15 wireless zones.

 

The second iteration of the project updated the visual imagery, included streaming audio and some wireless device interaction such as car alarm remote detection. It is installed at the BSU Indianapolis Center in downtown Indianapolis.

 

The most recent iteration of [un]wired processing network visualizer that responds to interactions from personal radio-frequency devices such as mobile phones, WiFi signals, Bluetooth signals and car-key fobs. It tracks real-time statistical information from wireless access points (designed for seamless handoff of moving wireless traffic, like a cell phone network), along with periodically updated information from hand-held and wireless access points. The interactions then appear in sound and shapes on the screen. Users interacting with the piece can then visually see their interaction live on screen. The control information is collected from network services via the MySQL database and transferred into Max/MSP/Jitter. [un]wired was exhibited at SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 in Singapore.

Nataša Jovičić, art historian and art educator, speaks at the opening of the “Multisensory Exhibition for the Blind and Visually Impaired Persons” that shows how visually impaired persons experience artwork via tactile plates and audio guides.

 

Curated by Ms. Jovičić and the Modern Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia, the exhibition also sensitizes others to how people living with limited vision experience the world.

 

The exhibition was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from September 24 to October 2, 2018. WIPO co-organized the event with the government of Croatia.

"I thought it was visually stunning. In some ways there were a lot of questions I had at the end for Joshua - to try and eke a bit more meaning out of it for myself. I felt there was almost a double act going on between Anwar and Adi at one stage - you know, good cop bad cop, in a perverse sort of way. I thought it was fantastic. But I also enjoyed it because my father's a member of the Communist Party, and he's told me many many times these stories, in the late 60s/early 70s. And when I'd raise this with people, either in the trade union movement or the political movement, it was sort of an 'Ok yes but,' slightly bewildered look about the whole situation. And seeing a film made about what happened, even from the perpetrators' perspective: it sort of almost vindicated my past a little bit - my father telling me, and me telling my kids; that's how the message gets passed on isn't it. The oral tradition is as good as the film tradition in many respects...it's a vindication of people who've been on the outside saying: 'these things happen,' in places where you don't expect them to happen or you don't know about it. And of course with it being '65-'66, the height of the Vietnam War, of course the Americans were chin deep in it weren't they. Becuase it was the old domino effect wasn't it. Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia - if one goes it all goes doesn't it. So that sort of haunts the back of your memory. But I thought it was a beautiful film as well. "

This visually striking residential building was created by architect Moshe Safdie for Expo 67. The result was an amazingly modern dwelling that challenged the way architects created urban homes. Compared alternately to a beehive, a Taos pueblo, and a crystalline growth, the complex's 154 units are composed of prefabricated concrete cubes assembled on site. The apartments here are highly prized and a number of prominent Montrealers make Habitat 67 their home.

Great moment with the VIsually Challenged women. I clicked the Kid holding the saree of the women and showed it to the kid. The kid smiled and held the fingers of the women and touched the screen showing the women in the pic to her. The women smiled and replied to the Kid in Bengali which i did not understand. But definitely i smelled happiness in her tone :) I just hugged the women and left without knowing to converse in Bengali ... Unforgettable moment ...

Inside Salisbury Cathedral everything was so visually beautiful and awe inspiring!! Even, and maybe especially the arched ceilings. This is in the Quire area.

 

Weakened by his defeat by the French in 1214 and keen to avoid a civil war he feared losing, King John met the barons at Runnymede (between Windsor and Staines in Southern England) on 15 June 1215 and agreed the terms of the document now known as Magna Carta. Its content, driven by the concerns of barons and church, was designed to re-balance power between the King and his subjects. When King John set his seal on Magna Carta he conceded the fundamental principle that even as king he was not above the law.

 

Magna Carta (Latin for "Great Charter") 1215 is one of the most celebrated documents in English history. At the time it was the solution to a political crisis in Medieval England but its importance has endured as it has become recognised as a cornerstone of liberty influencing much of the civilized world.

 

A visit to view the best preserved original Magna Carta in the Chapter House is for many visitors the highlight of their time at Salisbury Cathedral.

 

Magna Carta contains 63 clauses written in Latin on parchment. Only three of the original clauses in Magna Carta are still law today. One defends the freedom and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, but the third is the most famous:

 

'No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled. Nor will we proceed with force against him except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.'

Very interesting visually. Hockney seems qute anti photography (in a moment, losing all sense of time passing) but of course video has a sense of time.

The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of VA's six national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

The creative world of Orla Kiely was founded in 1995 to express visually, her love of pattern, colour, texture and rhythm, which as components all play and work together. Her instinctive graphic discipline to simplify and stylise everyday motifs and forms adds another dimension. With clean orderly repeat constructions and a boldness of scale, her work achieves strength with a very modern quality, while her nostalgia for all things mid-century, help make her patterns charming, uplifting and instantly recognisable.

2014 saw a number of anniversaries which will help us tell this story. It's been 60 years since the creation of the iconic Routemaster, 75 years since the launch of the RT-Type bus and 100 years since the world's first mass-produced motor bus, the B-Type 'Battle Bus' that carried soldiers to the frontline during the First World War.

Our buses are the arteries of the capital, moving large numbers of people around the city - across the centre and to the extremities. They have affected great social change and continue to offer a lifeline to a diverse range of Londoners. Buses also support the needs of our growing city and in turn help London to function as the engine room of the UK's economy.

London is naturally proud of its bus network, one of the largest and most accessible in the world. Despite its size, the bus network remains flexible and able to adapt to the challenges of operating in a constantly changing streetscape.

To meet the future needs of the city, while minimising the environmental impact, we are using innovation and new green technology. Our fleet is already one of the cleanest in the UK, but we're constantly striving to see how new technology can further reduce our impact on the environment.

The bus sculptures, which are 2.5m long, 1m high and 0.5m wide, are painted and adorned by well-known and aspiring artists to showcase the vital role that London’s buses play in the life and economy of the city and the UK as a whole.

Londoners and visitors to the city will get the chance to discover the bus sculptures, which will be organised in clusters, on foot by following public art trails in four areas of the capital – three in central London and one in outer London.

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

 

At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.

 

Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.

 

The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.

 

The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.

 

The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.

 

The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

quite the most visually revolting creature. I will try and photograph it every couple of days and see if it improves. having called it revolting...it is actually quite good looking compared to its younger/smaller sibling

 

some info on the image:

it was shot with and extension tube from about 600mm distance, flash bounced off the wall to camera right and some upwards, but shielded from the bird and compensated by -2ev. If i knew what i was doing, i might have tried to just reduce the flash a bit, but i dont ;-)

photoshoppery, a few layers, a mask to leave his yellow fur, a monochrome channel mixed layer (pushes the contrast)(overlay), a B&W gaussian blurred layer (overlay)

and a layer for the vignette

This pathway is in a bit of a "no man's land" when it comes to ownership. Visually, one would assume it's a part of the State Highway Administration facility immediately adjacent, but in reality it's actually a hodge-podge of right-of-way line split between the City of Greenbelt and a private owner (the owner of the land along Ivy Lane which is now host to a new bank).

 

Knowing this route to be a heavily-used path between Old Greenbelt & the Greenbelt Metro Station -- especially for bicyclists -- and also knowing that the confusing land ownership meant that no one was likely to show up to clear it... well...

 

It had to be done, so in 30 minutes I managed to shovel out the full length. I even made it through the snowplow piles on each end. It small things like this which really don't take much effort and are quite rewarding to look back upon after you've finished. If only others could share some civic pride, themselves, rather than complain to their nanny governments to do it for them.

WIPO Director General Francis Gurry speaks at the opening of the “Multisensory Exhibition for the Blind and Visually Impaired Persons” that shows how visually impaired persons experience artwork via tactile plates and audio guides.

 

Curated by art historian and art educator Nataša Jovičić and the Modern Gallery, Zagreb, Croatia, the exhibition also sensitizes others to how people living with limited vision experience the world.

 

The exhibition was held on the sidelines of the Assemblies of WIPO Member States, which met from September 24 to October 2, 2018. WIPO co-organized the event with the government of Croatia.

As well as being fun and visually stunning, it has a strong message concerning the threat currently facing Mountain Gorillas, and deals directly with the fact that there are only 700 left in the world. These environmental issues are paramount to Creature Feature's ethos.

The National Disabled Veterans TEE Tournament is the brainchild of several employees of the Iowa City VA Medical Center, along with two visually impaired Iowa Veterans. These visionaries created the TEE Tournament, an acronym standing for TRAINING, EXPOSURE and EXPERIENCE. In 2008, it became one of six VA national rehabilitation programs for Veterans. The event expanded to include not only blind Veterans, but amputees, wheelchairbound Veterans, and those with other life changing disabilities. It takes place each year in Iowa City.

Visually lovely, historic, and well protected with open lands surrounding this home and located off a quite spur of road. It has been on and off the market over the last decade.

 

Ovoka was part of the George Carter land patent of 1731- a grant of more than 3,000 acres made to the son of Robert King Carter by Lord Fairfax. George Washington, who surveyed this land in 1769, later purchased acreage adjacent to Ovoka.

 

The property also served as temporary headquarters for both armies during the Civil War. It is considered an excellent example of American Federal architecture with neoclassical elements of design, bright interiors with large windows, walls and ceilings.

 

It was sold in May 2012 with 200-acres for $3,900,000. Seller's agent: Thomas-Talbot, Buyer's agent Armfield, Miller & Ripley.

Angkor Wat is visually, architecturally and artistically breathtaking. It is a massive three-tiered pyramid crowned by five lotus-like towers rising 65 meters from ground level. Angkor Wat is the centerpiece of any visit to the temples of Angkor.

 

At the apex of Khmer political and military dominance in the region, Suryavarman II constructed Angkor Wat in the form of a massive 'temple-mountain' dedicated to the Hindu god, Vishnu. It served as his state temple, though the temple’s uncommon westward orientation has led some to suggest that it was constructed as Suryavarman II’s funerary temple. Other temples of the same style and period include Thommanon, Banteay Samre, Wat Atwea and Beng Melea, which may have served as a prototype to Angkor Wat.

 

Angkor Wat is surrounded by a moat and an exterior wall measuring 1300 meters x 1500 meters. The temple itself is 1 km square and consists of three levels surmounted by a central tower. The walls of the temple are covered inside and out with bas-reliefs and carvings. Nearly 2000 distinctively rendered apsara carvings adorn the walls throughout the temple and represent some of the finest examples of apsara carvings in Angkorian era art. But it is the exterior walls of the lower level that display the most extraordinary bas-reliefs, depicting stories and characters from Hindu mythology and the historical wars of Suryavarman II. It is in the viewing of the bas-reliefs that a tour guide can be very helpful.

 

The northern reflecting pool in front is the most popular sunrise location. For sunrise, arrive very early, well before sunrise begins. The sun will rise behind Angkor Wat providing a silhouette of Angkor’s distinctively shaped towers against a colored sunrise sky. Some of the best colors appear just before the sun breaks over the horizon.

 

The visual impact of Angkor Wat, particularly on one's first visit, is awesome. As you pass through the outer gate and get your first glimpse, its size and architecture make it appear two dimensional, like a giant postcard photo against the sky. After you cross through the gate and approach the temple along the walkway it slowly gains depth and complexity. To maximize this effect you should make your first visit in optimal lighting conditions, i.e. after 2:00PM. Do not make your first visit to Angkor Wat in the morning when the backlighting obscures the view.

 

The first level of is the most artistically interesting. Most visitors begin their exploration with the bas-reliefs that cover the exterior wall of the first level, following the bas-reliefs counterclockwise around the temple. Bas-relief highlights include the mythological Battle of Kuru on the west wall; the historical march of the army of Suryavarman II, builder of Angkor Wat, against the Cham, followed by scenes from Heaven and Hell on the south wall; and the classic ‘Churning of the Ocean Milk’ on the east wall.

 

The temple interior is not as densely carved as the first level exterior, but still sports hundreds of fine carvings of apsaras and scenes from Hindu mythology. A guide can be quite helpful in explaining the stories of the various chambers, statues and architectural forms to be found in the interior. At the upper-most of your tour of the temple, the central tower on the third level houses four Buddha images, each facing a different cardinal point, highlighting the fact that though Angkor Wat was constructed as a Hindu temple, it has served as a Buddhist temple since Buddhism became Cambodia’s dominant religion in the 14th century. Some say that it is good luck to pay homage to all four Buddha images before departing Angkor.

So for my new project, we have to design an educational product for visually impaired children. In order to understand how it is to be visually impaired, we had to complete experience blindness. So I blindfolded myself, went out and had dinner with my sister.

 

From this 2-hour blind experience, I felt as if I really wore the shoes of a visually impaired person. It was an overwhelming, tiring, emotional, and attention-grabbing experience. In order to get around, I had to really rely on other people and objects to guide me. I always had my hands reaching out in hope for reassurance and guidance.

 

Day 63

On the menu at the Hooters restaurant:

 

The Hooters Saga The Original since 1983

Several years ago while playing Parcheesi at "The Home for the Visually Offensive," several semi-intellectual Clearwater businessmen had a sudden urge for the smell of rough sawn lumber and/or the taste of Buffalo-style chicken wings.

Knowing full well that they coul not agree on anything as a group, and that they could not get a weekend pass from the "home" to go to Buffalo, they decided to embark upon a major undertaking, that being, to open a place in Clearwater where other people of their caliber could gather and quench their thirst for the finer things in life.

 

Their venture, however, got off to a slow start. After announcing their plans, the "Hooters Six," as they are now called, were promptly arrested for impersonating restaurateurs. There were no indictments, but the stigma lingers on.

 

There were many obstacles ahead, not the least of which was procuring a suitable location. After months of negotiations and a heated bidding war with "Well Brothers Disposal," who wanted to use the building for a giant walk-in dumpster, terms were agreed to and 2800 Gulf-To-Bay Boulevard, Clearwater, Florida was theirs.

 

Now the dilemma... what to name the place. Simple - what else brings a gleam to men's eyes everywhere besides beer and chicken wings and an occasional winning football season? Hence, the name - Hooters - it is supposed that they were into owls - strange group.

 

Anyway, the end result is what you see around you. So sit back, relax, and if there is anything that you require - within reason, of course - please ask.

  

“I am super inspired by the rhythms and patterns music can create in my mind’s eye, they do translate directly to what I make visually and I respond so deeply to music.”

Maya Hayuk graduated from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the University of Odessa in Ukraine. In the 90s, she began her career as a photographer on the New York punk-rock scene. Even today, music is a key element of her work.

An artist of many facets, she is a painter, photographer, muralist and curator. Her abstract and colorful works are dynamic, while respecting an elaborate geometry. The result is a graphical work of psychedelic visual intensity, often an massively scaled mural. Hayuk cites multiple references as inspiration; exploiting Ukrainian folk art and Tibetan mandalas as well as pop culture and modern art.

At MIMA, the result is an work of art that recalls the colour effects in the Gothic cathedrals. It’s a place full of poetry that invites to philosophize. A place of high spirtuality.

This work can be seen at the MIMA Molenbeek, Brussels www.mimamuseum.eu

 

“ Ik ben super geïnspireerd door de rhytmes en patronen die muziek in mijn geest creëren, ze zijn op een directe wijze geconnecteerd tot wat is zichtbaar maak en ik reageer zeer heftig op muziek”

Maya Hayuk studeerde af aan de Massachusetts College of Art and Design en de universiteit van Odessa in Oekraïne. In de negentiger jaren begon zij haar als fotograaf van de punk-rock scène in New York. Muziek is tot hier toe nog steeds een sleutelbegrip in haar werk.

Zij is een kunstenaar met vele facetten. Zij is niet alleen schilder maar ook fotograaf, maar ook muurschilder en curator. Haar abstracte en kleurrijke werken zijn dynamisch en respecteren een uitgebreide geometrie. Het resultaat zijn grafische werken van psychedelisch visuele intensiteit, dikwijls een grootschalige muurschildering. Maya Hayuk geeft aan dat zij diverse invloeden ondergaat: van Oekraïense volkskunst, over Tibetaanse mandelas, de popcultuur en moderne kunst.

In het MIMA is het resultaat een werk dat doet herinneren aan de kleureffecten in Gotische kathedralen. Het is een zeer poëtische plek, die uitnodigt tot mijmeren en filosoferen. Een plek met een hoog spritualiteitsgehalte

Dit prachtig werk is terug te vinden in het MIMA Molenbeek, Brussel www.mimamuseum.eu
