Cómo rescataron a los Osos bailarines

2010-03-11T16:02:39+00:00

Tradicionalmente, la comunidad Kalandar de la India ha sobrevivido de la captura de cachorros de oso perezoso y enseñándoles a “bailar” usando la crueldad extrema. Kartick Satyanarayan ha sido capaz de poner fin a esta práctica de siglos, y al hacerlo descubrieron una lección de un significado más importante: hacer que los que la practicaban sean parte de la solución.

Este proyecto fue llevado a cabo por la organización WildlifeSOS cuyo sitio web es muy recomendable, también podéis seguir su trabajo en Twitter o Facebook.

Underskin: The Human Subway Map

2010-03-11T14:23:07+00:00

Sam Loman has taken the subway map infographic style to the human body. Underskin is an infographic that traces the routes of eight different systems within the body (Digestive, Respiratory, Arterial, etc.), and highlights the major connection points.

You can see Sam’s work on just-sam.com, but the image there is low resolution. She sent me the image above so you could see the high-resolution details. Thanks Sam!

New York Chef Makes Cheese from Human Breast Milk

2010-03-11T13:53:35+00:00

Daniel Angerer, a young chef from New York, gave in to his curiosity and made some Mommy’s Milk Cheese, out of his wife’s breast milk.

Angerer says that, as a chef, he’s always curious about what different things taste like. The idea of making cheese out of human breast milk came to him while his wife was feeding their 4-weeks-old daughter. They pondered a while on whether it was ethical to use breast milk as the main ingredient, but since their daughter has more than enough frozen mommy’s milk, they decided it was ok.

It was reported that Daniel Angerer even treated customers of New York’s Klee Brasserie to his exotic cheese, and the New York Post quoted him as saying ” it tastes like cow’s-milk cheese, kind of sweet”. After the Health Department warned him about offering mother’s milk dairy in the restaurant, Angerer denied even considering offering his wife’s breast milk to anyone else.

Whether he commercialized it or not, I think making cheese out of human breast milk is strange enough. If you’d like to try out check out Daniel’s Angerer’s blog, for the full recipe.

Bryan Berg Sets New Card-Stacking World Record

2010-03-11T13:53:35+00:00

The American card-stacking master has just beaten his own previous world record, by completing a model of the Venetian Macau hotel and casino, made completely out of playing cards.

Brian Berg, the man behind the famous key-card hotel, spent 44 days working on the amazing model, using a total of 218,792 playing cards. The fragile piece of architecture, which is now on display in the heart of Macau’s Cotai Strip, was Berg’s most challenging project yet.

The playing card model of the Venetian Macau weighs an impressive 272 Kg, is 35 feet long and 10 feet tall. The most impressive thing about Brian Berg’s masterpiece is it contains no glue of tape.

Review: We Feel Fine (the book)

2010-03-11T13:28:25+00:00

The opening page of We Feel Fine: An Almanac of Human Emotion reads a quote from "a woman in Maine." It sets the stage for the rest of the book.

I have a problem I'm sure many other bloggers face: I am perfectly comfortable sharing intimate details about my emotions with complete strangers I meet online but shy away from expressing my true feelings to anyone I know in real life.

For those unfamiliar, We Feel Fine is a project from Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar that's been online since 2006. At its core, the goal is to show the emotions of the authors behind millions of blog posts on the Web by looking for sentences that start with "I feel" or "I am feeling." It's an interactive artwork "authored by everyone."

We Feel Fine the book, also by Kamvar and Harris, is a selection of some of the best entries from the database of 12 million emotions, along with some insights into the growing dataset (mostly the former).

Here are some pages from the book to give you an idea.

Want to see more? You can actually flip through the entire book online.

Who Will Like the Book

As a supplement to the online artwork, which I'm a big fan of, the book works really well. It provides lots of good excerpts, and in the end, it's entertaining. The best comparison I can think of is PostSecret. You know the blog/book that features secrets from anonymous people. Similarly, We Feel Fine is a snapshot of emotions from people you don't know; however, even though they're complete strangers, you will no doubt identify with many of them. Basically, if you like PostSecret, you'll probably like this book. There's a slightly greater data spin to it though, which of course I appreciate.

Anyways, you don't really need to hear what I think. Just check out the entire book online and form your own opinion.

The Key Sculpture of Prague

2010-03-11T13:53:35+00:00

Designed and built by Jili David, voted the most influential Czech artist of the last 20 years, this impressive work of art was unveiled on March 9, in the Franz Kafka Square of Prague.

Made using 85,741 metal keys, the sculpture symbolizes the 20 years that have passed since the Velvet Revolution. Keys were picked as the main theme because jangling keys were the symbol of pro-democratic rallies, organized by Vaclav Havel, in 1989.

The 6-meter-tall artistic construction spells the word “Revoluce” (Revolution) with the lower letters considerably distorted. There has been some controversy regarding Jili David’s key sculpture, because the work was commissioned by international telecommunications company, Vodafone, who also collected the keys. Money from an international company, for a national symbol raised some questions in the Czech Republic.
