I’m currently working on some linocuts. They’re not even close to being finished, but I can’t wait to show you guys!

Gustave Moreau
The Chimera, 1867, oil. -
If my nightmare is a culture inhabited by posthumans who regard their bodies as fashion accessories raher than the ground of being, my dream is a version of the posthuman that embraces the possibilities of information technologies without being seduced by fantasies of unlimited power and disembodied immortality, that recognizes and celebrates finitude as a condition of human being, and that understands human life is embedded in a material world of great complexity, one on which we depend for continued survival.
— Katherine Hayles. How We Became Posthuman, 1999: p. 5. -
Dilston Grove by Ackroyd & Harvey
Dilston Grove (formerly known as Clare College Mission Church) located on the edge of Southwark Park in Bermondsey, London was transformed into a green chamber of living grass in collaboration with sound artist and composer Graeme Miller, Ackroyd & Harvey. This church was originally designed in early Italian style with an austere exterior which gave way to the dramatic difference created by the liveliness of the fabrics of growing grass. The clay, germinating grass seeds, water and natural light presented the sharp contrast between growth and decay, reverie and renewal. Through the interplay of light, sound and growth, this project brought resurrection to this old, inert and nonfunctional building, bringing back spiritual memories for local residence over a three week period.
Quite ironic from a biotechnological standpoint!

Here’s where I work. First of what I hope to be a larger project!

This man is amazing.
Theo Jansen designed and built independant creatures of nothing more than PVC, bottles, some cloth and strings! They roam the Dutch beaches and can detect both water and drought, they can save themselves from storms and even have a simple binary ‘mind’ as a computer does, albeit much simpler, of course. I nearly dropped my dinner watching this, haha!
Watch! Now!

Olafur Eliasson & Ma Yansong - Feelings are Facts (2010)
“Based on a series of previous experiments by Eliasson that deal with atmospheric density.
Here, Eliasson introduces condensed banks of artificially produced fog into the gallery, shimmering with an artificial light spectrum, created using arrays of red, green and blue fluorescent lamps.
This illusion in light is not something we find in nature, however, as one walks through the space, the sights and sensations experienced become real.
Dimensions are further altered by the substantial lowering of the ceiling along with a nearly 60 meter long curving, inclined wooden floor space which Yansong created within the installation room. The sloping floor challenges visitors to readjust their balance, forcing them to constantly shift their weight and body posture to counterbalance the inclination. This emphasizes the important role of the moving body in the perception of our surroundings. The further visitors venture into the space, the steeper the floors get, reaching the point in which it becomes a wave-like curved wall. Since the ceiling imitates this construction, a seemingly boundless space is discerned above.
Within this installation, insecurity is induced on visitors initially,
reducing visibility, suggesting the need to invent new models for perception.”(Source: likeafieldmouse)
