MIAMI — Developed by Hippocrates and based on medical traditions found in Mesopotamia and Egypt, the four humors theory came from the idea that the body contains blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile, and that each of these fluids must be in equitable harmony — too much or too little of one results in specific temperaments. There are still schools of thought today that bear resemblance to the four humors. Consider Ayurveda, the theory that our bodies contain the traits of three Doshas (core mind-body “types”) and that our equilibrium can be thrown into disarray if we have an excess of one or another. Is there a way to localize the moment we stray too far into one temperament? It is this idea of balance that makes the four humors seem logical. That we are a delicate arrangement of mostly invisible muscular functions makes us human, and renders our internal bodies an unseen mystery.

MIAMI — The idea that a balance of four humors — blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile — determines the health of our bodies was once prevalent in Western medicine, and is reinterpreted in a visceral collaboration between sculptor Martha Friedman and dancerSilas Riener. Staged at Locust Projects in Miami, Pore has Riener activating four installations made from around 1,000 pounds of rubber, each referencing the qualities of the four humors.

Daniel Arsham "Welcome to the Future" @ Locust Projects in Miami

[kickstarter]

Project of the Day—Locust Projects wants to bring New York-based artist Daniel Arsham back to his hometown of Miami for his installation Welcome to the Future. The space will turn into an excavation site that will hold calcified media devices (like the camera above). It's a fascinating look at the way we interact with, and subsequently discard technology.
