Lev Tsimring | Street Photographers
Rated • 1 review • photography • street-photographers.com
Lev Tsimring: "Photography for me is not a profession, but it is not a mere hobby, either. It is the way to see the world - by world I mostly mean its human race - and also communicate what I see. Composition is less important to me than emotion, and the more fleeting and subtle the emotion is, the better. That's what photography is for, no? And above all I love it when my photos make you smile... not laugh, but smile. I hope you smile at least once while browsing my portfolio."

MoMA.org | Interactives | Exhibitions | 2008 | Design and...
Rated • 2 reviews • environment, arts • moma.org
MoMA.org. "Over the past twenty-five years, people have weathered dramatic changes in their experience of time, space, matter, and identity. Individuals cope daily with a multitude of changes in scale and paceâ€"working across several time zones, travelling with relative ease between satellite maps and nano scale images, and being inundated with information. Adaptability is an ancestral distinction of intelligence, but todayâ€s instant variations in rhythm call for something stronger: elasticity, the product of adaptability plus acceleration. Design and the Elastic Mind explores the reciprocal relationship between science and design in the contemporary world by bringing together design objects and concepts that marry the most advanced scientific research with attentive consideration of human limitations, habits, and aspirations. The exhibition highlights designers†ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and historyâ€"changes that demand or reflect major adjustments in human behaviourâ€"and translate them into objects that people can actually understand and use. This Web site presents over three hundred of these works, including fifty projects that are not featured in the gallery exhibition."
I like very much the idea of the Portable Light (at moma.org/exhibitions/2008/elasticmind [moma.org/exhibitions/2008/elasticmind] ) made by Sheila Kennedy, Sloan Kulper, Jason O'Mara, Patricia Gruits, Heather Micka-Smith and Casey Smith. "The Portable Light is a self-sufficient and sustainable source of power, and unlike traditional silicon-based solar panels it can be easily folded and transported. Moreover, the designers explain, the textile "can be integrated by local cultures using traditional weaving and sewing technologies in an open-source model." The use of familiar materials creates "the opportunity for greater levels of cultural acceptance of this technology," particulary by develooping countries' most important resource: women. Each Portable Light unit generateds about two watts of electricity and about one hundred lumens of white light, enough to read and do domestic tasks by. Individual units may be grouped to create up to five hundred lumens of light, and power can be pooled up to twelve volts to charge larger items, such as medical equipment and laptops."

loop.pH - SonUmbra
Rated • 2 reviews • environment, design • loop.ph
Rachel Wingfield and Mathias Gmachl made the Sonumbra. " Imagine an outsize parasol planted in an African village. By day, it offers shelter from the sun: by night, it sheds light for the local community using the energy collected in solar cells embedded in its canopy. It's clever, it explores a new role for textiles, and it shows concern for the planet. In short: an eco-friendly solution to a pernicious modern problem."

Create Digital Music & A Gramophone that Plays the Earth...
Rated • 2 reviews • music composition, music • createdigitalmusic.com
A gramophone that plays the earth instead of vinyl. Olle Corneer writes a description: "Harvest (2009) is a new art piece for the new instrument terrafon, traditional ensemble and cropland, by Olle Corneer and Martin Lubcke. In this performance Alunda Church Choir, conducted by Cantor Jan Hallgren, plays the soil of northern Uppland (in Sweden) on terrafon. Harvest by Alunda Kyrkokor was exhibited at the Volt Festival in Uppsala the 6th of June 2009. Terrafon is a large agricultural version of the horn gramophone, amplifying the sounds in the track it ploughs."
