This is absolutely bananas.
There is NOTHING like this on the instrumental record. Its likely impact is probably immeasurable.
But is it leading our news bulletins & on newspaper front pages?
Nope.

Israeli forces killed 60 Palestinians since the start of 2023, more than one killing per day on average. The international community enables this, and the USA has just shielded Israel at the UNSC. As long as Israel continues to enjoy impunity, its violent policies will continue.

How can art help us imagine our future world, and climate consequences, within our everyday context? By use of sensors, 'Lines' by @niittyvirta & @TimoAh0 interacts with the rising tidal changes, activating at high tide and providing a visual reference to future sea level rise.

Saint-Malo, Brittany, has the highest tides in Europe, with water that can rise 13 m over. These houses (here seen during storm Ciara), are built as a sea wall and 4 layer glass on the front windows [full video, HD, Easy Ride: buff.ly/3ypBcrw] teapawt.org/crazyfunnystuff/status…

Vähän aikaa sitten julkaisimme pienen työn, jossa yhdistimme Legoja solubiologiseen tutkimukseen, eli rakensimme Legoista solujen venytyslaitteen.
Ajattelin hieman avata tarinan syntyä, koska se on hyvä esimerkki tutkimuksen huonosta ennustettavuudesta.

Have trouble picturing what rising sea levels mean? Artwork by @niittyvirta and @TimoAh0 raises this awareness beautifully.
