McCarter Highway Murals, Newark, NJ & Kai in the Park
McCarter Highway Murals, Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday, April 23, 2019 And Ing took her Grandson Kai to the Park on Wednesday, April 24, 2019

Kai is shopping at Whole Food Super Market.
Human Behavior in Military Park
Kai was biking along the walk way around the playground to search for kids to play with.
Kai was biking a little faster when he saw some kids on the bench far away.
Kai was passing by a young man.
Kai was glad to see two kids and a man sitting on a bench.
He had to bike harder against the wind while a lady walked by his side.
Kai came up to the two kids he saw from far away.
He passed the two kids and a man.
Kai found an empty bench and parked his bike near the two kids. “Grandma can I have the ball. I would like to ask those kids if they would like to play ball with me.” Kai asked me for his ball that we brought with us. Kai walked toward the two kids and the man on the bench. Then I saw the man get up and walk away, followed by the two kids. I was not sure that Kai even had a chance to ask them.
I was sad to see the disappointed look on Kai’s face.
I told kai that there are some kids playing at the other end of playground. They might like you to play with them. Kai did not hesitate, he marched to the group of kids with his blue ball.
Kai found a young boy to play ball with him.
Kai joined in playing with the other kids.
Bubbles were floating in the air!!!
Kai was talking to a girl.
The young boy returned Kai’s ball and he said, “I like you.”
Kai helped the girl to ride on his bike.
The girl probably said, thanks, or goodbye to Kai.
As a grandmother who love her grandson, I am delighted that Kai had friends to play with and even happier to see Kai’s generosity toward others. It is easier to raise a child to be physically healthy by giving the best healthy food to the child. It is important to nurture a child to be mentally aware and kind. However, sometimes it come from the person’s inner being. In some cases, even though the parents or people around the child show or teach the child to be good, we still have bad people in our society. If these bad people happen to be in high positions in the country, then trouble will come to a lot of people or even it will affect the whole wide world.

I am glad you like it. Kai is very smart and generous kid. He is very lucky to have you and Jim as his parents, including two sets of grandparents, aunt, and cousins. I will talk to you tomorrow.
Time can be a difficult variable to
visually convey in still photography, both the length of time an exposure takes
or a series of photos meant to depict the passage of time can be somewhat
ambiguous without a written explanation. In his latest series, Time is a dimension, Singapore-based photographer Fong Qi Wei (previously)
explores just that idea by shooting landscapes from a stationary position over
a 2-4 hour period and then digitally slicing the images to create a layered
collage. He shoots at sunset or sunrise to obtain a wide variation in light and
then carefully cuts each image to reveal incremental timeframes. He explains:
Similarly, our experience of a scene
is more than a snapshot. We often remember a sequence of events rather than a
still frame full of details. In this series, I strive to capture both details
and also a sequence of time in a single 2 dimensional canvas. I hope it gives
you pause and reconsider what you experience versus what you shoot with your
next camera phone.
You can see many more examples on
his website, and read more about his process right here.
Several months ago we featured a
photographic series called Time is a Dimension by artist Qi Wei Fong that depicted layered collages of landscapes and cityscapes
photographed over a 2-4 hour period. Fong has since taken the project a step
further by animating the images in this new series called Time in Motion.
The new photos, shot in locations around China, Indonesia, and Bali show the
change in light at sunrise or sunset through angular rays and concentric
circles that shimmer as time passes. You can see more from the series on his website.

Flower Garden; Flowers and I are of the same root, the Garden and I are one A
floating flower garden filled with living flowers that float up and down in
relation to the movement of people in the space. When a viewer gets close to
this flower-filled space, the flowers close to the viewer rise upwards all at
once, creating a hemispherical space with the viewer at its center. In other
words, although the whole space is filled with flowers, a hemispherical space
is constantly being created with the viewer at its center and the viewer is
free to move around wherever they want. If many viewers get close to one
another, the dome spaces link up to form one single space. In this interactive
floating flower garden viewers are immersed in flowers, and become completely
one with the garden itself. Over 2,300 floating flowers bloom in the space.
These flowers are alive and growing with each passing day. Each flower has a
partner insect and the scent of the flowers becomes stronger at the time that the
insect is most active, as a result the scent of the air in the garden space
changes according to the time of day, morning, noon, and evening. Japanese Zen
gardens are said to have been born as a place for Zen priests to carry out
training so that they can become one with nature, the garden is a microcosm of
the vastness of the surrounding natural mountain areas where they gathered to
train. There is a Zen k?an in china (a question or story that is part of a Zen
priests theological training) called, “Nansen’s Flower”. A man named
Rikukô Taifu, while talking with Nansen, said, “Jô Hoshi says, ‘Heaven and
I are of the same root. All things and I are of the same substance.’ How
wonderful this is!”. Nansen, pointing at a flower in the garden said,
“People of these days see this flower as if they were in a dream.” A
person will become integrated with a flower when they look at a flower and the
flower looks at them, possibly at this time the person will truly see the
flower for the first time. https://www.team-lab.net/w/ffgarden/ ?Floating

Currently on display
in Tokyo is “Floating Flower Garden,” an immersive, interactive installation of blossoming
vegetation. Visitors enter a room filled with floating flowers. But as you
approach them the flowers rise into the air, creating an air bubble within the
dense forest. Multiple visitors can move through the installation at once as
the flowers move away from them and surround them. “In this interactive
floating flower garden viewers are immersed in flowers, and become completely
one with the garden itself.” Think of it as Rain Room but with flowers.

Layers is a new 4K digital art film by Russian director Maxim Zhestkov (previously) which follows amutating black cube as colorful layers are revealed inside, showcasing a stark contrast between its surface and core. Several iterations of the black monolith are bisected by an invisible force, showcasing purples, greens, reds, and a bright blue that fills the largest area at the structures’ center. The objects float through fictional gallery spaces (like we’ve seen in previous films Elements and Volumes) presenting each as impossible sculptures that can only be produced by digital means. Layers is the fourth film Zhestkov has launched since 2017. You can view other art films from his series, and keep up with future projects on Vimeo, Instagram, and Behance.

Only the US and China currently have
more billionaires than India. Some of them are as famous as pop stars and enjoy
similar adulation. Their social media accounts have millions of followers – in
a country where more than half the population lives below the poverty line and
has no electricity or fresh water. India’s super-rich have been dubbed the
“new maharajas.” The sources of their seemingly unlimited wealth are
almost as varied as their values and lifestyles. 23-old Evan Luthra uses his
father’s seed capital to invest in new ideas in the software industry. He loves
luxury, meets the young moneyed elite in fashionable destinations around the world,
and is active on all the social networks. Abhimanyu Alsisar, nephew of the
Maharajah of Jaipur, runs a chain of luxury hotels in the ancient palaces of
India and invests in music events. Kalpana Saroj comes from the lowest caste in
India and has worked her way up from destitution to become a multimillionaire –
but she never forgets her background, and helps impoverished farmers in her
homeland with medical care and gifts of money. Vijay Mallya even bought his own
Formula 1 racing team, but faces a long prison sentence for fraudulent
bankruptcy and tax evasion should he return to India. The documentary is the

Originally shared by Todd William Isaac Asimov on why YOUR Ignorance doesn’t equal MY Ignorance…
In every century people have thought they understood the Universe at last, and in every century they were proven to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about out modern “knowledge” is that it is wrong.
Socrates had said on learning that the Delphic oracle had proclaimed him the wisest man in Greece. “If I am the wisest man,” said Socrates, “it is because I alone know that I know nothing.”
The basic trouble, you see, is that people think that “right” and “wrong” are absolute; that everything that isn’t perfectly and completely right is totally and equally wrong.
Let me dispose of Socrates because I am sick and tired of this pretense that knowing you know nothing is a mark of wisdom.
No one knows nothing. In a matter of days, babies learn to recognize their mothers. Socrates would agree, of course, and explain that knowledge of trivia is not what he means.
He means that in the great abstractions over which human beings debate, one should start without preconceived, unexamined notions.
Now where do we get the notion that “right” and “wrong” are absolutes?
Young children learn spelling, for instance, and here we tumble into apparent absolutes.
How do you spell “sugar?” Suppose Alice spells it p-q-z-z-f and Genevieve spells it s-h-u-g-e-r. Both are wrong, but is there any doubt that Alice is more wrong than Genevieve?
When people thought the Earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the Earth was spherical, they were wrong.
But if you think that thinking the Earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the Earth is flat, then your view is more wrong than both of them put together.

Black Holes and Our Solar System Documentary – The
Universe and Space Exploration
Started streaming on May 11, 2019
How likely is it that a black hole
could enter the Solar System? Well, you’d have to define likely; it is more
likely that the Earth will get swallowed by a black hole than, say, winning the
lottery ten times in a row, but less likely than being struck by lightning. In
fact the odds of a black hole devouring our planet are estimated at one in a
trillion. There are two predominant types of black hole in the universe. The
first are supermassive black holes found churning at the centre of galaxies.
These don’t really pose any threat to us, until our galaxy collides with
another like the Andromeda galaxy in a few billion years.

The Carrières
de Lumières showcases the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), who painted
during the last 10 years of his life more than 2000 paintings, now scattered
throughout the world. On the 7000 sqm Carrières, this new visual and sound
creation traces the intense life of the artist fascinated by the warm and
colorful colors of Provence.
The clouds, suns and portraits of Van Gogh’s greatest masterpieces come alive
on walls over 15 meters high and reveal the artist’s singular style. The
exhibition evokes Van Gogh’s immeasurable, chaotic and poetic inner world
through his most iconic canvases, from the Starry Night (1889) to the
Sunflowers (1888) to his famous Bedroom painted in Arles. 1889.
Through a thematic tour, discover Van Gogh’s immense production which
evolves over the years. The sun of Provence, which revolutionized its way of
painting, illuminates the gigantic space of Quarries. The expressive
brushstrokes and daring colors are revealed on the walls of Quarries,
highlighting a permanent dialogue between the shadow and the light.
Travel through the different stages of his life
and travel to the heart of his early works to the sunny landscapes and
nocturnals of the South that revealed the artist we know today.

Michigan-based photographer Vincent Brady uses an
elaborate 4-camera rig and lots of software to capture what he calls Planetary
Panoramas. These are somewhat similar to the tiny planet videos we’ve seen the last few months, but the results are
quite a bit more dramatic. He shares about his technique:
While experimenting with different
photography tricks and techniques back in 2012, I was shooting 360 degree
panoramas in the daytime and long exposures of the stars streaking in the sky
at night. It suddenly became clear that the potential to combine the two
techniques could be a trip! Since the Earth is rotating at a steady 1,040 mph I
created a custom rig of 4 cameras with fisheye lenses to capture the entire
night-sky in motion. Thus the images show the stars rotating around the north
star as well as the effect of the southern pole as well and a 360 degree
panorama of the scene on Earth. Each camera is doing nonstop long exposures,
typically about 1 minute consecutively for the life of the camera battery.
Usually about 3 hours. I then made a script to stitch all the thousands of
these panoramas into this time-lapse.
You can learn more about how Brady
makes these and see more of his photography over on his website.

Between two screenings of ‘Van Gogh: Starry Night’,
discover a short programme focusing on Japanese art.
‘Dreamed Japan, Images of the Floating World’ offers visitors a journey into
the Japan of the collective imagination—the Japan of the geishas, samurai
warriors, and spirits. This production was inspired by the Japanese prints that
began to circulate in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century, when
trade opened up between the West and Japan.
The discovery of Japanese art had a profound effect
on Western art: the painting of the Impressionists and the avant-garde artists,
and also the decorative arts, music, and dance. Among them, van Gogh gave free
reign to his interest in japonisme. In Paris, he studied and bought Japanese
prints from the art dealer Siegfried Bing. The culture of the Land of the
Rising Sun influenced the use of line and colour and composition in his works.
In Provence, he told his brother Théo that ‘everything has become Japanese in
the southern light’.
This production by the Danny Rose Studio, which
highlights van Gogh’s fascination with Japan, is a contemplative and audio
journey into the environment of the masters of Japanese prints.
The ephemeral beauty of the cherry blossoms is
replaced by a magical and mysterious forest inhabited by the ‘yokai’, the
spirits of Japanese folklore, and then by the sea: Hokusai’s iconic great wave
submerges the Atelier des Lumières accompanied by music by Claude Debussy
The faces of the charming geishas, dressed in their kimonos decorated with
elegant and colourful motifs, emerge from behind the rice paper screens as in
nature, where everything is about contrasts; after all this ethereal beauty,
visitors are captivated by a samurai warrior dance and eventually brought back
down and carried away by the wind, among the lanterns floating in the night
sky.
The Danny Rose Studio provides a glimpse of the
great diversity, richness, and modernity of these works (the Japanese artistic
movement known as ukiyo-e, which began in the seventeenth century and did not
end until the nineteenth century) and their authors (some of whom are well
known by the general public, such as Hokusai, and others less so, such as
Kuniyoshi, Utamaro, Kunisada, etc.). The Danny Rose Studio also carried out
considerable production and creative work in order to bring to life the
imaginary Japan evoked by these works for visitors.
Particular attention was paid to the choice of
music, from Ryuichi Sakamoto to Claude Debussy’s La Mer (‘The sea’), inspired
by Hokusai’s Great Wave, and the incredibly fast rhythms of Japanese drumming.
Creative Studio Danny Rose
Danny Rose is a visual creation studio that creates
and produces immersive audiovisual works, in various contexts such as architectural
projection, interactive installations, museography, the theatre, music, the
opera, and the animation of public spaces. The studio is a collective of

The farewell ceremony for actress Kirin Kiki took
place on September 30, 2018 | Photo courtesy Sankei News
Last weekend, at the farewell ceremony for the late
actress Kirin Kiki, a large display of white flowers, designed to look like a
wave, greeted the constant flow of family members, fans and celebrities that
had come to pay their respects, and to say farewell to the 75-year old who had
passed away from cancer on September 15. The white wave of flowers was
comprised of roughly 1200 chrysanthemums, orchids, and gypsophila (an
ornamental flower known as baby’s-breath in the West).
Relatively speaking, the wave of flowers at Kiki’s
farewell ceremony was actually quite modest, in accordance with her wishes for
a simple gathering. Attempt to search the Internet for ???? (seikasaidan,
which literally means fresh flower altar) and you’ll see any number of
extravagant designs.
The company Ito Sogi has a online catalog of
funeral floral altars you can choose from
The wave motif itself is actually a common one in
Japan, alongside the mountain. Both are typically used for men because they symbolize
strength, but the rules of the old guard are starting to come down. Even
chrysanthemums, which used to be the only accepted flower, are now joined by
other white flowers, sometimes even colorful ones. But the alter of plentiful
flowers is relatively recent, having originated in Kyoto just 30 years ago.
This would make sense though because the technology and logistics involved in
procuring large batches of fresh flowers is also relatively recent.
Diagram explaining the 6 stages of the chrysanthemum
blossoms, from the book Nippon no Seikasaidan
A lot of money is spent on funeral flowers in
Japan. In fact, in 2006 Beauty Kadan became
the first publicly traded Japanese company specializing in funeral flowers when
it listed itself on the Mother’s section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Youkaen,
a general flower company that entered the funeral flower business in 1972 now says that roughly 75% of their 50 billion yen in
sales (roughly $44 mm USD) comes from their funeral flower segment.
Over the summer, Haruichi Mimura, the founder of
funeral flower company Sunvillage, published a massive 480 page book
detailing the intricacies of seikasaidan. It’s an extensive look at
the details involved in created fresh flower alters: everything from history
and tools to the types of flowers and designs. It’s available from Pie Books and also Amazon.

The exhibition explores van Gogh’s
numerous works, which radically evolved over the years, from The Potato
Eaters (1885), Sunflowers (1888) and Starry Night (1889) to Bedroom
at Arles (1889). The Atelier des Lumières highlights the Dutch painter’s
expressive and powerful brushstrokes and is illuminated by the bold colours of
his unique paintings. Warm hues give way to sombre colours. The immersive
exhibition evokes van Gogh’s highly emotional, chaotic, and poetic inner world
and highlights the constant interplay of light and shade.
The thematic itinerary retraces
stages of the artist’s life, and his sojourns in Neunen, Arles, Paris,
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and Auvers-sur-Oise. Visitors are transported into the
heart of his works, from his early to mature years, and from his sunny
landscapes and nightscapes to his portraits and still lives.
This is complemented by a new
educational device inside the tank located in the centre of the Atelier: a
selection of van Gogh’s famous paintings are represented in their entirety and
accompanied by commentaries about his oeuvre and the museum in which it is
exhibited.
The visual and musical work produced
by Culturespaces and directed by Gianfranco Iannuzzi, Renato Gatto, and
Massimiliano Siccardi, highlights the chromatic richness of his palette, as
well as the potency of his drawings and his use of impasto.

In an unmissable talk, journalist
Carole Cadwalladr digs into one of the most perplexing events in recent times:
the UK’s super-close 2016 vote to leave the European Union. Tracking the result
to a barrage of misleading Facebook ads targeted at vulnerable Brexit swing
voters — and linking the same players and tactics to the 2016 US presidential
election — Cadwalladr calls out the “gods of Silicon Valley” for
being on the wrong side of history and asks: Are free and fair elections a
thing of the past?

through the small motions of everyday movements like checking the time and
having a drink, with each frame rendered in a different art historical style.
The film starts in ancient Egypt and progresses through Chinese ink paintings
and Japanese block prints to Modigliani and Basquiat-style portraits. Cao
renders a vast array of art styles in a manner that is evocative without being
overworked. He lives and works in Hangzhou, where he teaches at the China
Academy of Art.

16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she
walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global

attention. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have
all the facts and solutions,” Thunberg says. “All we have to do is to
wake up and change.”
This talk was presented to a local
audience at TEDxStockholm, an independent event. TED’s editors chose to feature
it for you.

?????? ????????? is a Russian painter?, a master of whimsical and narrative
art. Subjects include fantasy landscapes, russian folklore, theatre and
mermaids.
Victor’s art can be highly symbolic with hidden clues to help decipher the
images. His work can also be humbly simple with images and subjects of
universal appeal.
They can be equally viewed for their vibrant textured colors that fill the
canvas and contrast with the translucent glazes that make the paintings dance
with light and pull in those who view it.
Victor breathes life into each work inviting the viewer into the painting as a
separate universe, one filled with boldness, energy and rich hues.
Victor Nizovtsev was born in Central Siberia, in the city of Ulan-Ude near Lake
Baikal. When Victor was a little boy his family moved from the Russian
Federation to the Republic of Moldova. Victor grew up in Kotovsk, a town
located in the heart of the region’s wine country and 30 miles southeast of the
capital of Moldova, Chisinau.
At age nine he entered Kotovsk’s Art School for Children where he studied for
four years.
In the 9th grade, he left home to study at Ilia Repin College for Art in
Chisinau. He then studied at the prestigious Vera Muhina University for
Industrial Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. tuttartpitturasculturapoesiamusica.com
