What the World Would Look Like If You Could Actually See Wi-Fi Signals via Gizmodo

Artist Nickolay Lamm worked with M. Browning Vogel, who has a Ph.D. in Astrobiology and is a former NASA employee to imagine a world where Wi-Fi signals were visible. It’s a visual mind trip, to say the least.

Paris-based artist Ludo (previously) has been active lately with works popping up all over France. His trademark monochromatic paste-ups with dripping green highlights often merge technology with plants or insects to create what he calls a “new order of hybrid organisms”. To see more of his work you can always stop by StreetArtNews or follow the artist’s blog.

This was amazing to watch. I think I was the only one noticing what was happening outside the window of the plane, and this time I captured it. On a previous occasion I saw a load of Japanese sewing machines with 'this way up' and 'fragile, handle with care' stickers over the boxes also being thrown on to the conveyor.

Lesson: Pack it well, because it wont be treated well.

68 competitive designs for the great tower for London 1890 via The Public Domain Review

A catalogue showing the entries for a competition to design a new tower for London. The year previous, 1889, saw the hugely successful Eiffel Tower go up in the centre of Paris, and the good people of London, not to be outdone, decided to get one of their own. A wonderful array of designs were put forward. Many were suspiciously similar to the Eiffel Tower and many erred on the wackier side of things, such as Design no.19, the “Century Tower”, reminiscent of a huge screw, and London Vegetarian Society’s design for an “aerial colony” which came complete with hanging vegetable gardens a one-twelfth scale replica of the Great Pyramid on its summit. The very practical design number 37 by Stewart, McLaren and Dunn was eventually chosen to be awarded the 500 guinea prize-money and built in Wembley Park.

Cute and tiny. Only possible because of the brevity of most of the station names — two to four characters only.

«Empresa diz que as expectativas iniciais têm sido cumpridas. As três estações, a funcionar desde 17 de Julho de 2012, aumentaram o tráfego de passageiros na linha vermelha em 12%.

Faz nesta quarta-feira um ano que Lisboa passou a ter metro até ao Aeroporto da Portela. As três novas estações levaram mais 12% de utentes à linha vermelha. Só a estação do Aeroporto já recebeu mais de dois milhões de passageiros.

Segundo dados disponibilizados à Lusa pelo Metropolitano de Lisboa, o troço Oriente-Aeroporto – com cerca de 3,3 quilómetros e que custou 218 milhões de euros – teve quase dez milhões de passageiros até Maio deste ano (mais 12% do que nos anos anteriores), incluindo os utilizadores da estação do Oriente.

1. Quantas pessoas votaram nos Verdes nas últimas eleições?

2. E em todas as eleições antes disso?

3. Alguém faz a menor ideia de qual tem sido a evolução do eleitorado dos Verdes ao longo dos últimos - digamos - 20 anos?

4. Ainda vivemos numa democracia representativa, certo?

5. As últimas eleições para a liderança dos Verdes foram disputadas por quem?

6. Porque é que a CDU é só um partido quando se trata de concorrer a eleições e dois depois delas (quando se trata, por exemplo, de ter direito a dois grupos parlamentares ou duas moções de censura?

O PEV vai defender a sua Moção de Censura na quinta-feira. Quase uma hora a ouvir a deputada Heloísa Apolónia aos gritos com a Nação.

There’s getting served, and then there’s this:

Earlier this month YouTube user questpact sent his DJI Phantom quad-copter and GoPro Hero 3 over the top of Niagara Falls to capture this pretty spectacular footage. Although the falls are not particularly high, they have the the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world with a peak flow of nearly six million cubic feet per minute. The video was shot as an entry to the DJI Phantom Video Contest, the results of which will be announced at the end of this month. Read more over on PetaPixel.

When dropping a ceramic plate or cup we’ve all braced for the familiar sound of impact as the object explodes into a multitude of sharp fragments on the kitchen floor. Artist Livia Marin imagines a wholly different demise for ceramic bowls, cups and tea pots in this series of work titled Nomad Patterns.

Inexplicably, each piece seems to melt onto a surface while strangely retaining its original printed pattern. The designs are actually a Willow Pattern motif, a pastiche of Chinese landscape decoration created by an English man in the 1790s “as if” it were Chinese. She adds via email that the objects “appear as staged somehow indeterminately between something that is about to collapse or has just been restored; between things that have been invested with the attention of care but also have the appearance of a ruin.” The 32 objects were on view at Eagle Gallery in London in 2012.
