Moby Dick, from the whale'south perspective

Artist Wu Tsang'south six-hour looping film Of Whales, displayed recently at the 59th Venice Biennale, reimagines the story of Moby Dick, from the whale's perspective. Details from artnet.com:

The site-specific digital film displays a six-hour loop of dreamlike subaquatic sequences and changing reflections of daylight, woven together through the apply of game engine technology... the film imagines the story of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick from the whale's perspective...

"The work is about reflection in both senses, likewise as capturing the whale come out of the water and dive dorsum into information technology," the artist said, looking at the looping underwater scenes in which the whale remains unseen merely is hinted at in fluctuating camera movements. Images of jellyfish bladder through the h2o and spiral beams of light reflect across forceful waves.

Information technology doesn't sound like Ahab and crew e'er make an appearance, which seems to me like a bit of a lost opportunity. It could take been six hours of jellyfish and waves, followed past five minutes of crazed sailors.

Electricity from falling workers

3M recently received a patent (No. xi,260,252) for a safety harness that generates electrical ability when a worker (wearing the harness) falls off a edifice.

Earthworks deeper into the patent, it becomes articulate that 3M is imagining that if the safety harness is self-powered, information technology can readily transmit a assist bulletin. As opposed to information technology being bombardment-powered, which runs the chance of the bombardment existence expressionless when needed.

Still, it's amusing to think of falling workers equally the solution to the world'south free energy problems.

The Coffee Vocal

An ode to caffeine. Is Starbucks looking for a new theme song?

My favorite line is: "Yous date a girl and observe out subsequently/She smells only like a percolator."

Lyrics
Way down amidst Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You lot can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of java in Brazil
No tea or tomato juice
Yous'll run into no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no
The politician'southward girl
Was accused of drinking h2o
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil
You appointment a girl and find out afterwards
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil
And when their ham and eggs demand bask
Coffee ketchup gives 'em flavor
Coffee pickles mode outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil
Then your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of java in Brazil

The Kitchen of the Unwanted Animate being

According to its website, The Kitchen of the Unwanted Animal is "the kitchen that sells products from unwanted animal species. This installation makes a statement about the absurdity of meat production and socially unacceptable animals."

The website is in Dutch, so that quotation is via Google Translate.

The Kitchen is located in Amsterdam and, from what I can assemble, information technology's primarily a food truck. Though information technology does cater some sit-down events.

The "unwanted species" on its card include pigeon, goose, muskrat, crow, and horse.

"Kuzu" by Iimura Takahiko

'Iimura films the cadavers of daily objects (junk) and animals without heads, cats, dogs or birds. While boats float calmly in the distance and children run along the beach, all kinds of larvae and insects move from onetime tatamis to old bottles under a "pelting" of scratches caused by the numerous projections that the original moving picture underwent.
