Could you not watch one hour with me?

If the quiet coach really is quiet, on the train home tonight, I’d really like to give this a go.

The work revisits from a fresh perspective the well-established idea that there is no such thing as silence. It also throws down a challenge in its title, asking, even daring the listener to sacrifice an hour to an end that may appear futile or meaningless. (via 5:4)

WILLIAM LAMSON (7knotwind)

details from A Line Describing the Sun — a short film that documents how Lamson went to the Mojave Desert with a giant Fresnel lens, which concentrated the punishing sun into a single 1,800-degree spot. Lamson followed the sun’s path across the course of a day, so that the sand beneath his feet became an arc of fused glass.

Developed by NewMediology (Danqing Shi), Last Clock is a clock app that uses popular slit scan technique to keep you in factual time, human time and remote time. Just like any other analog clock, the app has three hands: one for seconds, minutes and hours. The hands, however, are made of a slice of live video that gets scanned to the clockface. With different refresh rate for the three hands, the three time circles reflect the rhythms of the space at different temporal resolutions. The app also allows you to stream the last clock camera feed over the internet.”

Located in Arosa, Switzerland, this hotel’s wellness center was created by Architect Mario Botta with not only healing properties from within, but a beautiful piece of architecture to create positive energy from the outside as well.

Built in 2006, this gorgeous Tschuggen Grand Hotel and Wellness Centre (or Berg Oase) is mainly level with the ground with the exception of the metaphorical trees that stick up and protrude through the deep snow in the winter months. Discreet integration was a main concern of the planning, and a glazed walkway connects the centre with the hotel– keeping things clean and continuous. At night the Berg Oase becomes a magically lit place, showing the life and ongoings within.

Asobi by Yasutoki Kariya

“Asobi” was created by art student Yasutoki Kariya for his senior thesis exhibition. Meaning “play,” the installation is comprised of 11 computer-programmed incandescent light bulbs hung from strings. They playfully re-enact Newton’s Cradle, visualizing the transfer of kinetic energy in the form of light. (via Spoon & Tamago)

David Toop Blog - a sinister resonance

“Most of the time (day or night, no matter what I’m doing) I have ideas or experiences related to music, sound and listening. They fly in and fly out, usually ending up in one of my notebooks or a published essay, a sound work, a lecture or a book. For years I’ve felt that a blog is the best interim site because it’s a more public way of sharing them in a raw state, with possibilities for combined media…”
