Thanks Peter!

The work of David Thomas Smith who sez:

Composited from digital files drawn from aerial views taken from internet satellite images, this work reflects upon the complex structures that make up the centres of global capitalism, transforming the aerial landscapes of sites associated with industries such as oil, precious metals, consumer culture information and excess. Thousands of seemingly insignificant coded pieces of information are sown together like knots in a rug to reveal a grander spectacle.

Not only that:
Questions of photographic and economic realities are further complicated through the formal use of patterns that have their origins in the ancient civilizations of Persia. This work draws upon the patterns and motifs used by Persian rug makers, especially the way Afghani weavers use the rug to record their experiences more literally with vivid images of the war torn land that surrounds them.

 

We’d really like to see Dublin.

Actually, forget that.

That’s right.

Football.

The under-21 result was the worst defeat suffered by a county team for as long as anyone could remember. …According to those involved with the team, 11 of the panel nominated failed to turn up. The team that started showed five changes in personnel from the one selected. And team handlers were frantically ’phoning around up to 20 minutes before the start looking for players to make up numbers.

Eventually Kilkenny got 15 players, but they hadn’t any subs.

The score?

Louth 6-34 Kilkenny 0-2

A ‘homework assignment shot in two afternoons’ by Vania Heymann – a first year at Bezalel School Of Art and Design in Jerusalem.

It’s a clever and colourful take on the unquestioned power accorded to icons as addressed in Bertrand Russell’s celestial teapot analogy, which is still used in discussions – especially discussions about religion – where the philosophical burden of proof must be based upon unfalsifiable scientific claims rather than simply shifted to others to disprove.

The celestial teapot watering can is available from IKEA for 99c by the way.
