Art & Creativity
My friend Steve Kukla sent a link to this interactive art to me this morning. André Michelle has created something beautiful here. http://lab.andre-michelle.com/pulsate Elegantly simple and yet its effect is powerful for me. André used technology to convert simple mouse clicks into pulsating orbs that generate tones related to the size of the orbs when they touch. Then the seemingly unordered tones generated create an experience that reminds me of Japanese music played in a temple or of raindrops falling in a forest or a wind chime.
This serves as a reminder that powerful effects can be created by rendering complex technology in elegantly simple ways.
This baby squirrel was either born with a stunted paw or was injured. I saw her searching the bird feeder droppings for food and noticed that her paw was being used like a hook. She can climb trees seemingly quite well. I'm hoping that she can survive the winter. I'm sure that this sort of thing happens all of the time, but it is still sad to see. She seems to be adapting, so we'll see. See the photos after the break.
