​"Sometimes you see something so absolutely the opposite of your usual style that it stops you in your tracks and makes you smile.  And perhaps even m​akes you question what you thought you liked.​​ I am a minimalist and a modernist, I like calm; I like grey.  I like simplicity; I like the understated; I like quiet clean lines and white space.  But then along came Kristjana S Williams“ ~ Katie Treggiden, Confessions of a Design Geek

Detail of Édouard Manet’s Olympia (1863)

Swing by the Perelman Building and check out “Mythography: Sources for Classical Myth,” on view in the Museum Library now through February 19. With a selection of classically-inspired works from the 1300s to the 1800s, the installation explores changing perspectives on the work of Homer and his peers.

“By 1970, the Knights of Walpurgis (later renamed the “Death Eaters”) were an organisation formed of people Tom Marvolo Riddle knew from his time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as well as their relations. Nearly all of those recruited were from Slytherin House as students.”

Luke and I were looking at Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights and discovered, much to our amusement, music written upon the posterior of one of the many tortured denizens of the rightmost panel of the painting which is intended to represent Hell. I decided to transcribe it into modern notation, assuming the second line of the staff is C, as is common for chants of this era.

so yes this is LITERALLY the 600-years-old butt song from hell

EDIT: I still can’t believe this took off like it did this is crazy??? Just wanted to let people know that there are indeed errors in the transcription and this is indeed not a very good recording (I threw this together in like 30 minutes at 1 in the morning,) but I’m working with the music department at my college to get the transcription more accurate!

in the meantime enjoy this fantastic choral arrangement by wellmanicuredman i’m in love

Photographing the Milky Way Over Greece

Alexandros Maragos is an Athens based filmmaker and photographer best known for his landscape photography, astrophotography and timelapse imagery. In his own words:

The Milky Way is the name of the spiral galaxy in which our solar system is located. It is our home in space. The Earth orbits the Sun in the Solar System, and the Solar System is embedded within this vast galaxy of stars. In the northern hemisphere, the Milky Way is visible in the southern half of the sky. This makes Greece one of the best places in the world to see and photograph the galaxy because of the country’s geographic location in Southern Europe at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. 

As a filmmaker and photographer I feel very fortunate to live here. Every time I want to shoot the night sky, all I do is to pick a new spot on the map and just go there and take the shot. Greece is a heaven for astrophotography. Whether you choose a mountain, a beach, a peninsula or any of the 6,000 islands, the Milky Way is always visible in the southern sky.
