Light Leaks

A scattered array of fifty mirror balls reflect light from three projectors, filling a room completely with small reflections, casting patterns that fill the visitor’s peripheral vision. Creating a curious space that alternates between a meditative state, and an uneasy imbalance. An experiment in combining a found object with computer vision to create a profound and unusual experience.

Created with Jonas Jongejan at CLICK Festival 2013.

laurgold:

“Abigail Heyman, a photographer whose stark portraits of women at work, at home and at weddings gave a visual concreteness to feminist doctrine of the 1970s about the oppressiveness of traditional female roles, died on May 28 at her home in Manhattan. ”

“I have been a girl child and, in my expectations, a mother,” Ms. Heyman wrote in her first book. “I have tried to be prettier than I am. I have been treated as a sex object, and at times I have encouraged that. I have been married and have seen my husband’s work as more important than my own.”

“Her work as a photographer, she said, reflected “the conflicts inherent in growing up female” and “the conflicts inherent in trying to change.”

“

In an interview with state television late Thursday, (Vladimir Putin) and his wife, Lyudmila Putina, engaged in polite chit-chat about a ballet they had just watched then dropped the bombshell, saying they haven’t lived together for a while and are getting a divorce.

While divorce is common in Russia, it is still taboo for high-ranking public officials to dissolve their marriages. Russian politicians strive to project an image of having an impeccable private life…

”

- A/P (via NPR)

Newsflash: The “impeccable private life” image doesn’t just apply to high-ranking Russian politicians. Pfffffffft.
