At the 2005 Biennale in Venice, Japanese artist Mariko Mori presented her amazing “Wave UFO”.

Finishing Jan. 27 2008, an exhibition of Mori’s art is on display at Aros Art MuseumLa popularidad del Caribbean poker continuó creciendo desde entonces, y en la actualidad existen muy pocos casinos, ya sea en tierra o mediante Internet, que no ofrecen […]

DON’T WORRY…Share a Brainwave is still vibrant, alive and kicking…and the brainwaving for Reflexioner on Waves will continue here.
But now I’m ready to launch the second wave challenge: Waves of Wisdom

Waves of Wisdom is a virtual relay race. Curius minds and great thinkers challenge eachother answer and pass on the same question:
“What’s making waves in […]

Salt is the taste of sweat, tears and a day at the beach. Salt brought us good health, it brought us bacalao, herring preservation, yummy longlasting breads and that never-sinking feeling of flying when one is bathing in places like the Dead Sea and Central Asia’s wonderous Issyk-Kul Lake.
Due to scarce sunlight, in Northern Europe salt is being extracted from […]

 
This reproduction of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting “Sea of Ice” has left a strong impression in my mind. Not because of it’s dramatic story of the colossal strength of nature swallowing a ship whole. No, I’m truly inspired by the formal strength of the painting. The clear logic of the zig-zagging and seemingly chaotic surfaces and lines. […]

 
I recently stumbled upon this amazing piece of technology, AMOEBA, which seems to be able to generate lines and shapes on a surface of water. “The wave generators move up and down in controlled motions to simultaneously produce a number of cylindrical waves that act as pixels.”

Someone suggested a reference to the water creatures in James Cameron’s […]

One of these sculptures “The Square Wave” (image) is made of wooden dowels controlled by an awesome mechanical contraption. You really have to admire the tremendous effort and degree of precision this guy has used to create exactly these billowing […]

I just read a great post ‘Creating Passionate Users’ wrote on serendipity. The introduction to the very long post that is full of examples and advice to work on goes as follows:
You know the feeling: You follow a near-random trail of blog links and land on the post that solves your big business problem. You […]

Protection

In his 1998 novel Tales of Protection, Norwegian writer Erik Fosnes Hansen writes about how to protect oneself from bees, and he describes how lighthouses save lives.  
This makes me think of cities at the sea: How does one protect a place against the splashing and clashing of the waves?

Brainstorming is thrilling. Allowing oneself to kiss trivialities and constraints goodbye…open up the mind…let one association lead to the other…enjoy the flow of thoughts and new ideas emerging from the hidden treasuries of the brain… It’s wonderful. It’s arousing. It’s thrilling.
At first glance brainstorming seems extremely efficient too. It doesn’t take long to create a […]

SHARE A BRAINWAVE is a collaborative experiment that aims to explore WAVES from every point of view imaginable.
To get the waves rolling we challenge bloggers, thinkers, writers, scientists, entrepreneurs and artists throughout the world to share any knowledge, words, visions or wisdoms that are triggered when they hear the word WAVES.
It could be anything involving […]
