Universal Everything / UK Close-sound based visuals

Some really cool stuff I found searching out sound/visual relationships. This video is of a visual projected installation. The sound generates the visuals!

Roanoke Island, NC Tree

Many theories exist about the settlers' fate on Roanoke Island, but none has been fully substantiated. One view is that the colonists sought refuge with neighboring Native Americans (probably the Coharie tribe) and were absorbed through intermarriage. Others have argued that the settlers were wiped out by an attack from Native Americans or by an unusually violent storm. Recent scientific studies involving tree ring growth analysis indicate the existence of a severe drought at that time — the worst in hundreds of years.

Cosmic Hand Reaches for the Light


Tiny and dying but still-powerful stars called pulsars spin like crazy and light up their surroundings, often with ghostly glows. So it is with PSR B1509-58, which long ago collapsed into a sphere just 12 miles in diameter after running out of fuel.
And what a strange scene this one has created.
In a new image from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, high-energy X-rays emanating from the nebula around PSR B1509-58 have been colored blue to reveal a structure resembling a hand reaching for some eternal red cosmic light.
The star now spins around at the dizzying pace of seven times every second -- as pulsars do -- spewing energy into space that creates the scene.
Strong magnetic fields, 15 trillion times stronger than the Earth's magnetic field, are thought to be involved, too. The combination drives an energetic wind of electrons and ions away from the dying star. As the electrons move through the magnetized nebula, they radiate away their energy as X-rays.
The red light actually a neighboring gas cloud, RCW 89, energized into glowing by the fingers of the PSR B1509-58 nebula, astronomers believe.
The scene, which spans 150 light-years, is about 17,000 light years away, so what we see now is how it actually looked 17,000 years ago, and that light is just arriving here.
A light-year is the distance light travels in a year, about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).

Maras In Central America

This is a short documentary about gangs in Central America

Christopher Simmons






Christopher Simmons.

I find the work of this artist very interesting, not only because he works with spaces, and of course I do too, but because in this series of work, he photographs the surroundings of the civilians in Guantanamo,while he captures, the traces of the "normal" life they construct, as normal as that can get; living in an American military base. There are restrictions that prevented the artist, from photographing certain public places, due to security restrictions.
