“I tell stories otherwise untold” – Miron Zownir

Miron Zownir captured the weirdest and most wonderful characters that ruled Berlin’s underbelly both before and after the fall of the Berlin wall. He was called by Terry Southern as the “radical poet of photography”.

Yesterday’s VC lecture was about photography. I couldn’t resist sharing some photography of this amazing artist - it’s shocking, it’s uncomfortable, it’s weird, but it’s authentic and I love it!

You can view more photos from the Berlin Noir series and interview with Miron Zownir here:

The oldest preserved transport wheel in the world was found in 2003, 20km south of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, in Ljubljana Marshes. The wooden wheel accompanied by an axle is dated to 3340-3030 BCE (the axle to 3365-3045 BCE) making it more than 5000 years old (5350-5050 y. o., usually averaged to 5200 y. o.). It has a radius of 70cm and is made of ash and oak. The remnants of pile dwelling culture (which must have crafted and used the wheel) near Ig have been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011.

The wheel is often said to be the most important human invention. It seems to have appeared sometime in Neolithic, but its use as a means of transport is usually dated to the middle of the 4th millenium BCE. It is unclear where exactly wheeled vehicles originated because they appeared almost simultaneously in Mesopotamia (Sumer), the Northern Caucasus (Maykop culture) and Central Europe (Cucuteni-Trypillian culture).   {x} {x} {x}

*transport wheel because there are 2 potter’s wheels that are (possibly) older

A collection of pins I found at a local store yesterday. One of these was purchased by me- can anyone guess which one?

I was working with an item today that just utterly flabbergasted a part of me (the other was deeply frustrated with the catalogue record AS SOMEONE APPARENTLY THOUGHT IT WAS PRINTED ON SILK, coming back to that in a minute) … but ANYWAYS … said item is a replica of a medieval manuscript prayer book THAT IS ENTIRELY WOVEN out of grey and black silk … WOVEN … text, images, intricate grey scale, WOVEN … NOT PRINTED …

And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …

Anyways …

Just a fun box of NS paraphernalia that came in the other day. If people ever tell you that there was no autism back in the day, that shit's the biggest bs in the world, because the older generation's "train enthousiasts" were a specific breed. They're also starting to drop like flies, so we're getting a lot of collections in from undiagnosed autistic baddies. (Oh yeah, NS means Nederlands Spoorwegen, which is just the company that has a monopoly on the Dutch railroad network. It's expected to hate on them, but damn do they have some fun trinkets.)

Ah thanks that’ll be useful. A record of your face before the sheep ate it.
