Earlier this week photographer Jonathan Nimerfroh was walking along the coast of Nantucket when he noticed something odd about the waves crashing on shore. The high temperature was 19°F (-7.2°C) and while the waves weren’t completely frozen, they were thick with pieces of ice, much like the consistency of a Slurpee, or an slushy, or an ICEE, or whatever. It’s amazing to see how the ice changes the form and color of the waves, making them seem almost solid. You can see a few more shots over on Stay Wild Magazine. You can follow more of Nimerfroh’s photography on Instagram. (thnx, Amber!)

Nuevos Bricolages Tridimensionales

New Three-Dimensional Figurative Collages Encased in Multiple Layers of Glass by Dustin Yellin

The Brooklyn-based artist Dustin Yellin (previously) was commissioned by the New York City Ballet to install a new series of his figurative collages. The artist refers to the sculptures as Psychogeographies because “they feel like maps of the psyche.”

Each large-scale sculpture is individually embellished with bizarre found objects—cut-up books, magazines and trash found on the street—which are then sealed within layers of glass. “Imagine if you were to make a drawing on a window,” said Yellin, explaining his process. “And then you were to take another window and glue it to that window… until you had a window sandwich. I make window sandwiches.”

The resulting forms resemble dancers striking various poses: their multi-dimensional bodies encapsulated in suspended animation. A grand total of 15 of these “window sandwiches,” each weighing in at 3,000 pounds each,were installed in the atrium of the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. The installation is on view for all performances through March 1, 2015 but there’s also free public viewing through February 22. If you can’t make it you can always follow Yellin’s activities on Instagram.

METODO PARA EXTRAER MIEL DE PANALES SIN ESTRESAR A LAS ABEJAS

Honey on Tap: A New Beehive that Automatically Extracts Honey without Disturbing Bees

by Christopher Jobson on February 19, 2015

 

 
  The Flow Hive is a new beehive invention that promises to eliminate the more laborious aspects of collecting honey from a beehive with a novel spigot system that taps into specially designed honeycomb frames. Invented over the last decade by father and son beekeepers Stuart and Cedar Anderson, the system eliminates the traditional process of honey extraction where frames are removed from beehives, opened with hot knives, and loaded into a machine that uses centrifugal force to get the honey out. Here is how the Andersons explain their design: The Flow frame consists of already partly formed honeycomb cells. The bees complete the comb with their wax, fill the cells with honey and cap the cells as usual. When you turn the tool, a bit like a tap, the cells split vertically inside the comb forming channels allowing the honey to flow down to a sealed trough at the base of the frame and out of the hive while the bees are practically undisturbed on the comb surface. When the honey has finished draining you turn the tap again in the upper slot resets the comb into the original position and allows the bees to chew the wax capping away, and fill it with honey again. It’s difficult to say how this might scale up for commercial operations, but for urban or backyard beekeeping it seems like a whole lot of fun. It wouldn’t be hard to imagine these on the roof of a restaurant where honey could be extracted daily, or for use by kids or others who might be more squeamish around live bees. You can see more on their website and over on Facebook.

ROGER WATERS Y MAS DE 700 ARTISTAS EN BOYCOTT CULTURAL A israel!

POLÍTICA

ROGER WATERS Y MÁS DE 700 ARTISTAS ANUNCIAN BOYCOTT CULTURAL A ISRAEL

14 FEBRERO, 2015 PLANETAHOLISTICO DEJAR UN COMENTARIO

Roger Waters, junto a más de 700 artistas británicos anuncian un boycott cultural a Israel, cortando relaciones con el país que sistemáticamente viola los derechos humanos de millones de palestinos.

La carta firmada por los artistas afirma que los palestinos “no han podido tener una tregua con respecto a los ataques implacables de Israel sobre su tierra, su sustento, su derecho a la existencia política”. Citando a la organización israelí de derechos humanos B’Tselem, afirman que el año 2014 ha sido “uno de los más crueles y mortíferos de la ocupación”.

Así como durante el apartheid en Sudáfrica muchos músicos dejaron de tocar en ese país, “hoy decimos que no haremos música en Tel Aviv, Netanya, Ashkelon o Ariel, tampoco recibiremos premios ni concurriremos a festivales, conferencias ni talleres, hasta que Israel respete la ley internacional y finalice su opresión colonialista de los palestinos”.
