If we're going with the theory that Zane and Darling made Alan, this is how I keep picturing it 😂

I was the artist teacher for Self Help Graphics and Art summer youth program. I taught them how to make aircrete and how to work together on a collaborative piece. What a good time!

“For a landscape ecologist, a landscape is made up of a spatial array of patches. Depending on the researcher’s perspective, patches may consist of ecosystems or may simply be areas of habitat for a particular organism. Patches are spread spatially over a landscape in a mosaic. This metaphor reflects how natural systems often are arrayed across landscapes in complex patterns, like an intricate work of art.”

So many teeth. 🦷🦷🦷

I recently created this massive set of dental/periodontal illustrations depicting various dentoalveolar phenotypes from both soft tissue and hard tissue anatomical perspectives. The two scenarios at the top show an optimized periodontal phenotype (the one on the right is somewhat deficient, but still robust), and the four scenarios below are examples of intact, susceptible, and deficient bone and gingival phenotypes next to the anticipated impact of intervention; from top to bottom, the gingiva and bone get progressively worse after the teeth are straightened, which would lead to the need for additional intervention such as bone augmentation.

ARCHITECTON

Director: Victor Kossakovsky Distributor: A24 Year: 2024

"Look at the Baalbek monument in Lebanon. The heaviest stone in Rome is 60 tons. The Baalbek rocks are 900, 1,000, 1,600 tons. Today no one can lift it, let alone cut it with the precision they did. They say slaves made it: absolutely wrong. Only masters could do it." All that is sustainable architecture. You build it once, it’s for ever; we don’t need to pay again. Today people say it’s easier to build fast from cement, and cheaper: for who? For our grandchildren it’s expensive, because they will destroy it and build something new. Roman cement lasts 1,000 years. Modern cement doesn’t last 100. In Britain you demolish 50,000 buildings a year, and their average age is 40 years. Even a bus runs longer.

And when you build fast you don’t have an emotional connection or responsibility. What does it matter what it looks like? It looks horrible, we have no emotional connection. We cannot measure the emotional depression of boring architecture, of boxes copied and pasted everywhere – but, psychologically, it’s worse than cancer. If we find a substitute for cement and stop building irresponsible, boring architecture, in my opinion life will be 10 years’ longer.

We live in the age of cement and sugar. Sugar in every food, cement in every building. Already, just the production of cement causes 18.5% of CO₂ emissions. And we need to build a Manhattan-sized city every month for the 2 billion extra people on the planet by 2050. How? From cement?" - Victor Kossakovsky, BFI Interview
