Birds of a Feather
Fantastic news about a Laysan albatross named Wisdom, who lives on Midway Atoll in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument.
Wisdom is officially the oldest living marine bird, at least 62 years of age and first banded by wildlife officials in 1956. She survived the tsunami in 2010 that devastated Midway. And now (drumroll, please!) she is caring for what is at least the 30th chick she’s hatched and reared in her long, productive life.
There’s a slim possibility that she’s related to our own Laysan albatross, Makana (pictured above). Like Wisdom, Makana comes from Midway Atoll. She came to the Aquarium in 2006 after she injured her wing when she fledged. She’s been an incredible ambassador for her species and is — as far as we know — the only albatross at any aquarium or zoo in the world.
In daily public programs at the Kelp Forest exhibit, we introduce visitors to Makana. There, we share stories about the epic annual migrations Laysan albatross make (50,000 miles!) and about the threats they face in the wild — from plastic pollution and commercial fishing gear.
Globally 18 of the 22 species of albatross are threatened with extinction. Makana and Wisdom — each in their own way — are contributing to the survival and recovery of these remarkable birds.
We wish them long and healthy lives!
Hanging with Astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams! @NASA Space Exploration Day at University of Hawai'i at Hilo, in Remembrance of Big Island homeboy Astronaut Ellison Onizuka, on Challenger.
Suni holds the record among all Women on Earth, for time spent in Space, orbiting our beautiful blue life-ship. Also, she's the best looking of all Cosmonauts (in our opinion). Great day, our Eben children very happy! =^.^=

Sue Austin - Creating the Spectacle (2012)
As part of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad, performance and installation artist Sue Austin created this series in which she—in her self-propelled underwater wheelchair—explored the magnificence of the underwater world, aiming to generate a widespread public debate about the nature and value of contemporary arts practice shaped by the experience of disability.
Artist’s statement:
“My studio practice has, for sometime, centred around finding ways to understand and represent my embodied experience as a wheelchair user, opening up profound issues about methods of self-representation and the power of self-narration in challenging the nexus of power and control that created the ‘disabled’ as other.”

IRIS by HYBE
Interactive installation is grid of transparent LEDs which display halftone and circular patterns whose display can emulate it’s viewers.
A week ago, I covered a New Media exhibition in Seoul called ‘The Da Vinci Ideas Exhibition’ and was intrigued by this piece, hoping there would be a video of it. Well, the brilliant Creative Applications discovered it, which you can watch in the embed below:
Created by Korena collective HYBE, IRIS is a media canvas with matrix of conventional information display technology, that is a monochrome LCD.Through the phased opening and closing of circular black liquid crystal, IRIS can create various patterns and control the amount (size) of passing lights.

"I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride."

#FreePussyRiot!
"Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats." ~ Voltaire
Open Letter in Support of Pussy_Riot & Mother Mary, from #Orwellian America
Putin & Russia's Orthodox Patriarchy have misjudged the power of radical prayer.
The Kremlin may have won their "Hooligan" Kafka-court punishment, but have lost their place in history (& her-story!). From now on, they will remain the anti-Pussy men, fearing & beating down 3 grrrl artists & mothers. Heavenly news, theocrats & thugs of Russia: Mother Mary has heard their dramatic prayer! Never forget: Our Goddess gave birth to your God.
"Hooliganism" & "hate of religon" does not fit the alleged "crime" the entire world has witnessed. We see performance artists-musicians-actors, same as Björk, Kerli, Nikki Minaj, Madonna or Lady Gaga. It's A PERFORMANCE... yet in this case it's an actual prayer ceremony too.
We see young women crying out to Mother Mary for relief & salvation. Begging for salvation from a century of cryptocratic patriarchal spies, warmongers & mobsters. Just as the whole world is crying out: for an end to the war, the greed & the madness. Just as Jesus was. Crying out. "Please God!"
Your ruling class & religious "Authority" has exposed itself (once again), to the entire world in a new communications age- your old-fashioned absurdity, pettiness & willingness to torture dissident artists.
And please explain, where is Christ's forgiveness, His love, His reaching out & protecting women? Instead we see the same Pharisee order who hung Jesus on as cross to "uphold Roman Law."
Practically & legally speaking, your State-enforced "hooliganism" charge is these women occupied your altar for a short time. And sang a dramatic prayer. Where is the crime?
Tragically, once again big criminals saunter away with pockets jingling while protestors are locked away for protesting the biggest criminals of all, the war makers, the drug sellers, the arms dealers, the torturers, the assassins. What does Russian Patriarchy have to say for the military-spy state? Or is it vice-versa? Let's ask Mr. Kafka... or Mr. Marx?
2 years in a Russian penal colony? The world will be saying: Putin is another Stalin now- a humorless ℱᶸᶜᵏᵧₒᵤ bully who puts musicians & poets into gulags. He tears mothers from their children, attempting to dehumanize them. What a weak system that must be, a sorry excuse for tyrannical one-man rule. All the while supporting that petty, violent criminal regime in Syria, as they slaughter entire villages.
We are all so damned tired of bullying men forcing themselves on top of us! Truncheoning & jack-booting truth & creativitydown into a dark, violent hole in their fucked-up hell. Cheaters, liars, con-men & spies have been ruling our fucked-up world, the same war-mongering a$$holes, for what- 3 or 4 "World Wars" now? Literally- "Mother-fucker-uppers." For too many centuries now... "Holy Mary, deliver us from Evil!"
<3 V for Bend Data o_O SAVE EARTH! ☮
Shouts out to all riot grrrls, all Anons, all Occupy, all rockers & punks, all lovers of art & revolution:
Wear your Pussy Riot holy caps wherever these patriarchs dare to go! Pound the drum & pray to Holy Mary for relief!
We will all be Pussy_Riot now, wherever Putin dares to show his shameful face.
"Our Goddess gave birth to your Church!"
"Dear God, Deliver us from Putin; Holy Mary, save us from the anti-Pussy men!"
Activate: <3 @Pussy_Riot lovers: Use the artistic strategy of sending each sister post cards, as often as possible. Adopt them. Know where they are, until they are free. Show them how important they are.
Creatively challenge the cracks in the prison walls. Check Amnesty's network for addresses. Postcard avalanche! It works.

A Short Film About a Lonely Robot, Created Entirely From NASA Videos
It’s 2045, and a lone robot orbits Earth in a spaceship, left there by his human companions. He longs for his home on Earth, but knows he’ll never see it again. Tragic, huh? This is the story of Robbie, a sentient Catholic robot, and the subject of the short film Robbie from director Neil Harvey.
"A work of art is useless as a flower is useless. A flower blossoms for its own joy." ~ Oscar Wilde
"Columbus could say 'I found land.' Galileo could say 'There are mountains on the Moon.' Is it up to me to say: 'There are elves in my head'?" ~ Terence McKenna
"When they return there will be mirth,
And music in the air,
And fairy wings upon the earth,
And mischief everywhere.
The maids, to keep the elves aloof,
Will bar the doors in vain;
No key-hole will be fairy-proof,
When green leaves come again."
~ Thomas Haynes Bayly "Where Do Fairies Hide Their Heads?"
I must go seek some dewdrops here.
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.
Farewell, thou lob of spirits; I'll be gone.
Our Queen and ALL her elves come here anon."
Faeries & Puck, Midsummer Night's Dream
