From 2009 to 2013, the research schooner Tara traversed the globe, carrying a multinational team of scientists. They surveyed the critical foundation of the marine food chain (a foundation we know dangerously little about): plankton, bacteria, protists, viruses and small animals. All in all, they found more 35,000 different kinds of organisms — many of them previously unknown to science. Read all about it!

It may still be a little early to head for the beach, but that won’t prevent us from thinking beachy thoughts.

PomPom Mirror

Interactive installation by Daniel Rozin is the latest in a collection of mechanical mirrors - this one is made with an array of contracting pompoms in a half-tone arrangement:

Rozin’s anthropomorphic PomPom Mirror features a synchronized array of 928 spherical faux fur puffs. Organized into a three-dimensional grid of beige and black, the sculpture is controlled by hundreds of motors that build silhouettes of viewers using computer-vision. Along its surface, figures appear as fluffy animal-like representations within the picture plane, which is made permeable by a ‘push-pull’ forward and backward motion of meshed ‘pixels’. Ghostly traces fade and emerge, as the motorized composition hums in unified movement, seemingly alive and breathing as a body of its own.

The work is currently shown at the bitforms gallery with other new works by the artist, which you find out more here

Doorstep by Caitlin Mahoney

Full disclosure, she’s a very good friend of mine. Caitlin Mahoney is a beautiful songstress and she’s releasing a new record this coming May 26th. This was a romantic live jam she recorded back in February. If you ever had a passing love affair that still makes your heart skip in remembrance, well, here’s a song for you.

She’s touring in Ohio and Illinois currently, but back in NYC end of May. 

She’s also the sweetest person alive so join her listing. You get a free song!

Can’t get a lock of Exploratorium Loose Cannon and scientific raconteur Ron Hipschman’s hair? Let these hot collectors’ items satiate your scholarly collecting compulsion! Our Everything Matters trading cards are “fundamental” scientific memorabilia (see what we did there…). Next up Boron or B on May 21.

The periodic table outlines the fundamental building blocks of all known matter in the universe. Composed of irreducible atoms, these elements arrived from the earliest reports of the Big Bang, the fusion wombs of stars and supernova, and collisions between interstellar matter and cosmic rays—as well as through artificial production in the lab. To us, they mean everything: from iron to uranium, their discovery and use have shaped the course of human history.

LOS ANGELES — Yesterday was Graduation Day at the University of Southern California, however there was a conspicuous absence at the commencement ceremony for the Roski School of Art and Design. All but one of the graduating MFA students boycotted the ceremony in solidarity with their first-year classmates who announced they would be dropping out in response to a withdrawal of funding and curricular changes, as per a statement released yesterday. The one graduating student in attendance was there to deliver a speech, which the Dean had originally cancelled, only agreeing to include student remarks this past weekend.

Us 

Dir. Dan Chen | Pro. May Iosotaluno | Writ. Nick Adams 

Us is a web series that tells one story over eight episodes.  We follow Owen and Kayley as they fight to stay in love while their lives are scripted by omnipresent writers. Debates on modern dating rage in two different worlds, challenging what is real, necessary and true.

If you all have an hour of your time, I would definitely recommend watching this webseries. It’s investigative and honest in its exploration of this couple’s relationship. The greek choir writers are extremely refreshing and are an especially strong aspect.
