New York And London Double-Exposed!

Today we’re spotlighting the work of photographer Daniella Zalcman, whose stunning New York + London series of superimposed photos takes Instagram images to a new level. Navigating between travel and art photography, Zalcman documented her major transnational relocation to London from New York with this set of overlapping photographs of both cities. Her meticulous compositions produce synergy and dissonance in the same frame, heightening their visual contrast and strong atmospheric presence. Click through to see more!

This Trippy Video Explains Bitcoin in Under 4 Minutes

The mysterious digital currency has spiked in value — but what is it? 

Absolutely fascinating.

I am so tired of hearing about BitCoin.

It is NOT a CURRENCY, its is a COMMODITY.  Also a commodity (even if it could be a currency under something like barter), is not an ‘economy’, at best its a market. An economy is much more complex than a market and certainly a single commodity.

This acts just like an arbitrary commodity. Like sea shells, or gold.

And surprisingly for all the rhetoric about sustainable and lasting value, I dont see any really aside from the perceived notion that the currency has value to begin with. The best way for owners of BitCoin to increase their wealth is make it seem valuable to begin with so others will want to buy it. Thus the most logical outcome would be increasingly more vocal advertisement for Bitcoin in order to drive value.

The whole presupposition of Bitcoin is that people will attribute abstract value to the ‘currency’ or more accurately described ‘abstract measure of exchange value’. 

This could be anything. Beanie babies. Sticky notes. 

It is simply creating meaningless value in the guise of a ‘currency solution’ where really none exists. 

It will never replace real currencies and divorces the notion of work or labor from value which can become increasingly dangerous.

A better solution in my opinion for those frothing at the mouth to do away with centralized banking is something like the Bristol Pound. Local currencies tied to communities that help circulate local exchange value to drive local reinvestment.

alright, need to start my day, maybe more later…..

Sea Organ

The steps are made up of seven parallel flights, each one ten meters wide. The seven flights are juxtaposed in such a way that at each change of flight there is a difference of one step; that means that the steps both at the junction with the parade and at the water’s edge the flights present a staggered silhouette. The first three are the longest; they consist of six steps and descend about two meters, which is the highest level of the cruise ship arrival platform. From the fourth flight, the height of the parade gently approaches the water level, so that each new flight loses one step. The last flight, which has reached the definitive level of the parade, has only two steps above the water.

Only a few more weeks before the quarter is over. Working on constructing a new Rhino model in order to create floor plans, sections, diagrams, renderings etc.

This is a section from the previous iteration of the digital model. Its a section of a ‘core sample’ portion from the large site mass.
