SHARE A BRAINWAVE

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 [...]

Looking at these beautiful roots reminds me of the diversity of mangroves. Rhizomes of mangrove swamps are unique in the sense that they can deal with water as well as drought. They can adapt to low levels of oxygen as well as limit their intake of salt. Furthermore, mangroves protect coastlines from erosion by waves. Adaptation is really [...]

  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.” I want one. Someone suggested a reference to the water creatures [...]

To add a nerdy touch to this Brainwave, I will say that, quantum mechanically, everything behaves as a wave. Light, heat, sound, magnetism–at a small enough scale all of these are treated as waves. The way things behave at human scales is just a simplification of this wave behavior. When you look at things on [...]

My fondness for museums of almost any kind caused me and my family to travel all the way to faraway Thyborøn in Western Jutland (DK) one summer. Arriving on the small ferry from Agger tange in the north, we could instantly smell that Thyborøn is a fisherman’s haven, situated on a peninsula with one side to [...]

Frk. Jensen’s post on The powers of water reminds me of paneldebate on ‘Religion versus science’ I once overheard. A scientist (probably a meteorologist) explained how – under very, very rare and extreme weathercircumstances – the Red Sea could actually have split in two to allow the Jews to escape from the Egyptians. This was [...]

  On the subject of brain waves, the game of Brainball cannot be ignored. This electronic art installation works in the following way: Two players are seated at a table and their brain activity is measured. By accomplishing the least brain activity the players push a ball forward. Here’s the technical explanation: “The brainwaves that move the ball forward, [...]

Levendes post on Protection just triggered a new brainwave: If Al Gore is right and most of the worlds major cities will be under water in a few decades from now, we’re about to make the myth of Atlantis come true. That leaves us with the choice between two major paths to go down when [...]

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?
