commuting to work

OK, I think if it's OK I'm going to stick with the slippers and pajama commute, but here's what some people do to get to the office in the morning: (and don't even think about what happens if there's a storm...)

let the cartoon play at the start and wait... (and perhaps put on your safety belt or attach yourself to a solid object)

Mako, the King James Bible 400th birthday, and the four holy gospels

my friend Mako has done something brave and unique and beautiful. he's illustrating the Bible with abstract art. the mystery of creation. a new illumined bible for the 21st century. 

there's a new modern art in town!

Mako's paintings move you profoundly. they are worship in paint.

Instead of shooting a fast moving object, Taylor's high-speed video camera is the fast moving object (on a high speed train going around 125 mph), and it is filming the platform moving by. Fast motion in slow motion.

He says: "In all my slow-motion work so far, I've used a static camera to capture a high-speed event. But, I wondered, what would happen if the camera was the fast-moving object? For instance, if you use a 210fps camera at 35mph, on playback at 30fps it'll seem to the observer that they're moving at walking pace- but everything observed will be operating at 1/7th speed."

Tree of Codes

Jonathan Safran Foer has a new book coming out called Tree of Codes and he made it by taking his favorite book, The Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz and cutting out the words to create a completely new story. wow.



This is an image of the book.



He uses sculptural means to craft a story--and reminds us that books have bodies! This is one that I can't see working on a nook or a kindle or even an iPad.



Books with bodies!
