Plagiarism

This is outrageous!
The compression is the landmark signature of Cesar Baldaccini (1921-1998).
Whether those so called artists know his life time work and it is plagiary or they don’t and they should (at least) learn contemporary art history.
As we all know, Art is a dirty job.
But it becomes radically stinking whenever somebody, unashamedly steals an artist's work, claiming it as his own, speculating on the public's ignorance and unculture.

Fighting the Highly Ridiculous Art Market
A Sculpture That Perpetually Sells Itself On eBay
Artist Caleb Larsen has created an art sculpture which, when connected to the Internet, perpetually attempts to sell itself on eBay.
"Combining Robert Morris’ Box With the Sound of Its Own Making with Baudrillard’s writing on the art auction this sculpture exists in eternal transactional flux. It is a physical sculpture that is perpetually attempting to auction itself on eBay.
Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself.
If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself." laughingsquid.com
Art is in the hands of merchants.
Totally.
Artists live in a fourth-world economy pattern with absolutely no solidarity, no union, no protection, no rules.
Marketing and/ or business education do not belong to art schools' teaching. Never!
Nobody cares of course.
This project makes a dent in that state of fact, proving this unacceptable situation can be fought.
Please support it!

Drawings under the influence of LSD
Since the 60' and regarding different aspects of art, influenced by the then recent psychology, a specific interest for "altered states" emerged. To be or not to be under the influence when creating (definitely not when driving) is an open debate...
Philosophy meets Mathematics
Dr Grigory PerelmanPhilosophy meets Mathematics:
Dr Grigory Perelman has solved one of the most intractable problems in mathematics!
What he found is beyond my understanding and I hope to find some enlighment soon (on line?)
Yet his attitude in itself is worth more than any fame or money.
Instantly dubbed the most intelligent man on earth he is buzzed not for what he found, which goes over six billion people's heads, but because he refused the prize and does not care about most people's motivation: celebrity...
He did not get oversized boobs implanted, did not eat live spiders in the jungle, does not play football or whatever sports, does not design clothes, does not sing, nor do porn.
He then might be the seed of something more important than pleasing Simon Cowell and consors, he is a true genuine human being and stands for it.
As a conclusion, if he is the most intelligent man on earth he might show some alternative there to be understood and followed.
Turning his back on fakeness, he is not only a mathematician but a true Socratian philosopher...Armand Dauré.

Au fur et à mesure que les robots deviennent de plus en plus sophistiqués, leurs mouvements sont encore «robotisés». Peut-être que nous avons ici une grande source d'inspiration pour les ingénieurs qui développent les robots (le plus ressemblant possible aux humains)
As robots are getting more and more sophisticated, their movements are still "robotic".
Maybe we have here a great source of inspiration for engineers to develop human-like motions.

"J’inscris ma démarche dans des expériences qui questionnent l’idée de projection d’une image d’un espace dans un autre et sa transposition selon différents modes représentatifs sur différents supports. L’extrême présence de la surface confère un effet déréalisant avec sa confrontation avec support.Ainsi pour moi une photographie n’est jamais finie jamais aboutie elle peut muter et se transformer. Bien sur ce procédé détruit le caractère documentaire de la photo et accentue encore l’écart entre l’objet photographié et la photographie.
Je pense que mon travail rentre le contexte actuel qui ’utilise la photographie « non pas comme l’usage du procédé photographique comme outil ou vecteur d’art mais de l’adoption de la photographie comme matière. - André Rouillé».
A partir d’une photographie document je fais en sorte qu’elle devienne une photographie matériau."

Scientists create the world's smallest 'snowman' - Telegraph
By Murray Wardrop
Published: 9:04AM GMT 04 Dec 2009
The snowman is made of two tiny tin beads, normally used to calibrate electron microscope lenses, which were welded together with platinum Photo: Dr Cox / National Physical LaboratoryExperts at the National Physical Laboratory in West London made the miniature figure which is just 0.01mm across.
However, far from the thrill of rolling balls of snow around a field to build their masterpiece, it was assembled using tools designed for manipulating nanoparticles.
The snowman is made of two tiny tin beads, normally used to calibrate electron microscope lenses, which were welded together with platinum.
A focused ion beam was used to carve the snowman's eyes and smile, and to deposit a tiny blob of platinum for the nose
It was put together by Dr David Cox, a member of the Quantum Detection group at the laboratory, who also took the picture.
However, Britons searching for the real thing will have to head for the northern hills of Scotland, where forecasters say there is a chance of snow falling over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the Alps have seen heavy snow falls in the past week allowing the ski season to get under way at many resorts. Andermatt in Switzerland has received nearly 40 ins (100cm) of fresh snow.
The NPL is one of Britain’s leading science facilities and research centres. It is a world-leading centre of excellence in developing and applying the most accurate measurement standards.

Science Vs morals (and stupidity)
When people look at the finger which is pointing at the moon...
Professor David Nutt has not only been sacked but is facing the stakes because of his scientific declaration ...
Remember: June 22 1633, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei, then aged 70, was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Congregation of the Holy Office, the judicial arm of the Inquisition. He was forced to recant the heliocentric theory of Copernicus, whose work has been put to the index 15 years earlier. But Urban VII, who had originally supported Galileo, transmutes the sentence under house arrest. Having renounced his belief in science and especially the fact that the earth turns on itself, Galileo would have whispered "And yet it moves". However it is likely that this phrase is a myth. The Church rehabilitated in 1992.
