A Praise to Double Disillusion

Today, the Australian Prime Minister of Babel, Malcolm Turnbull will go to the Governor General to request a double dissolution.

The Given : LOGOS,The Word as SPOKEN into being 

The Intended Given : The Word as SPOKEN into being, but...

The Received : The Word as HEARD into being, but...

The Translator (sic) : traduttore tradittor  ...is a traitor

The Unintended Received : LOGOS/HA HA aka Miss Herd

     

Translated from the Inglish by Charles Baudelaire  

This week, we've been enjoying the new Brian Eno album The Ship. It ends with a sweet version of 
The Velvet Underground's "I'm Set Free". A double disillusion just might help towards that...

[Verse 1]
I've been set free and I've been bound
To the memories of yesterday's clouds
I've been set free and I've been bound
And now

[Chorus]
I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion

[Verse 2]
I've been blinded but
Now I can see
What in the world has happened to me
The prince of stories who walk right by me
And now

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I've been set free and I've been bound
Let me tell you people
What I found
I saw my head laughing
Rolling on the ground
And now

[Chorus]
I'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion

Brutalist Block Party

     

Brutalist Block Party is a May-long program of talks, workshops, lunches, dinners, social situations and a weekly produce market – presented by Assemble Papers and Open House Melbourne in a vast concrete-fronted warehouse in Clifton Hill. It’s a celebration of the under-celebrated – an homage to the site’s Brutalist heritage and to post-war architecture everywhere; a convivial nod to the spirit of community at the heart of this architectural approach.
       

The program unfurls amidst Brutalist Bollards and Pillars of Contention – a specially commissioned spatial installation by Practise Studio Practise. The Brutalist Bar ensures that the brutalist banter continues before, during and after each event.

Brutalist Block Party is part of a broader Open House Melbourne program called ’What’s the beef with Brutalism?’ – a series of screenings, talks and tours that consider people’s beef with a Béton brut, explore the social significance of the style, and consider what is the new, new brutalism?

Vantablack

    

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

     
Vantablack is a substance made of carbon nanotubes^[1] and is the blackest substance known,
absorbing up to 99.965% of radiation in the visible spectrum.^[2] 
               
Exclusive rights of Vantablack for artistic use have recently been given to the artist Anish Kapoor.^[3]

FIAPCE   -1978-  

Etymology

The name comes from the term "Vertically Aligned NanoTube Arrays".[4]

FIAPCE   -1978-  

Properties

Vantablack is composed of a forest of vertical tubes which are "grown". When light strikes vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and is continually deflected among the tubes, eventually becoming absorbed and dissipating into heat.^[1]

Vantablack was an improvement over previous similar substances developed at the time. Vantablack absorbs 99.965% of visible light. Also, this new material can be created at 400 °C (752 °F); NASAhad developed a similar substance that could be grown at 750 °C (1,380 °F). Vantablack can be grown on materials that cannot withstand higher temperatures.^[1]

The outgassing and particle fallout levels of Vantablack are low. The high levels in similar substances in the past had prevented their commercial usefulness. Vantablack also has greater resistance to mechanical vibration, and has greater thermal stability.^[4]

FIAPCE   -1978- 

Development

Early development was carried out at the National Physical Laboratory (UK),^[5] although the term "Vanta" wasn't coined until sometime later.^[6] The substance is now being developed by Surrey NanoSystems.^[7]

FIAPCE   -1978-  

Applications

This substance has many potential applications, including preventing stray light from entering telescopes, and improving the performance of infrared cameras both on Earth and in space,^[7][8] Ben Jensen, Chief Technology Officer, Surrey NanoSystems, has explained: "For example, it reduces stray-light, improving the ability of sensitive telescopes to see the faintest stars... Its ultra-low reflectance improves the sensitivity of terrestrial, space and air-borne instrumentation."^[7]

Vantablack may also increase the absorption of heat in materials used in concentrated solar power technology, as well as military applications such as thermal camouflage. The emissivity of Vantablack and scalability support a wide range of applications.
       
The material is being used creatively by artist Anish Kapoor who said, "It's effectively like a paint... Imagine a space that's so dark that as you walk in you lose all sense of where you are, what you are, and especially all sense of time."^[9] The color was exclusively licensed to Kapoor's studio for artistic use, outraging some other artists who would be unable to use it.^[10][11] However, the manufacturer has explained that Vantablack is also subject to export controls by the UK, and due to its temperature and physical requirements is not practical for use in many types of art.^[12]

World Press Freedom Day : Shokjang Day

Popular, courageous Tibetan blogger sentenced to three years in prison

International Campaign For Tibet 

19 February 2016

The popular Tibetan blogger Druklo, known more widely by his pen name Shokjang, has been sentenced to three years in prison after being ‘disappeared’ nearly a year ago, according to Tibetan sources in exile.

Druklo (pen name: Shokjang) an intellectual, blogger and writer, is known for his reflective and thought-provoking articles on issues of contemporary concern such as ethnic policy and settlement of nomads. There was widespread dismay when he was detained by security police in Rebkong (Chinese: Tongren) on March 19 (2015), with numerous netizens expressing their sadness.

According to the exile Tibetan newspaper, Tibet Times, and other Tibetan sources, Shokjang was sentenced to three years in prison in a court in Xining, the provincial capital of Qinghai. Details of charges are not known, although one source in exile said that he believed it was connected to ‘separatism’.

Golog Jigme, a Tibetan monk, teacher and former political prisoner, who escaped into exile in 2014, said: “We believe that Druklo challenged the court ruling, saying that he had not done anything against the Chinese Constitution or against Chinese laws and regulations. Like so many Tibetan political prisoners, he has been sentenced on baseless charges due to the Chinese Communist Party authorities exerting their power."[1]
