NASA images taken from a BBC article on Solar Storms show extreme ultraviolet wavelengths on the Sun’s surface. Yes, I have a love affair with BBC news and space. Put them both together and you get magic.

Biomodd is “an open source and co-created art project fusing computer waste and living biology. Essentially, Biomodd creations are computer systems with living ecosystems inside of them. Taken together they form a global art project challenging presumed notions of opposition between nature and technology in different cultures.” (Biomodd). It can be built and improved upon by anybody since it has an open source license. Pretty cool huh? Watch the video below for a close up sneak peek.
Russian photographer Daniel Korzhonov captures the untouched magic that Ukraine’s winter holds in Crimea. Korzhonov says, ““I am attracted to the theme of man and the mountains: how man is small and helpless in comparison with the peaks of the mountains, but at the same time he can conquer it, can fight with itself and survive in the wilderness of rock, moving higher and higher.”
A record player that plays slices of wood. Year ring data is translated into music, 2011. Modified turntable, computer, vvvv, camera, acrylic glass, veneer, approx. 90x50x50 cm.
A tree’s year rings are analyzed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music. It is mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appearance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently.
