Resonate Installation at Luminale 2012, Frankfurt
A series of white elastic strings pulled across the interior of a container ship formed the aptly-named Resonate installation, an enthrallingly interactive feature at Frankfurt’s Luminale 2012.
The work was christened during the festival’s opening party, where visitors could play with the strings and thus participate in the creation of an audiovisual performance. When fiddled with, the pulled strings in fact produce sounds and lighting effects, turning the room into a collective musical instrument.
Interactivity aside, the soft structure created within the rational and rigid container – which will become a theatre for other events after the festival – established a playful relationship between the installation and its surrounding shell.
The project, visited by more than 10,000 people, was an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Master students in the Spatial Communication program at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz and the Sound-Art Composition Master program at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

THE FURY presented by Union House Theatre
The Fury was a work devised by students of Melbourne University under the direction of Tom Gutteridge. The piece was loosely based on the Durrenmatt classic The Visit, and involved a society of risk-averse townsfolk who work in a plastics factory, invaded by a Lady-Gaga-Amy-Winehouse celebrity and her entourage who comes seeking revenge on an ex-lover.

Maria S.C. Lamp by Pani Jurek
The Maria S.C. lamp, designed by Pani Jurek, looks like a crystal chandelier but is actually made from chemistry test tubes placed into circular plywood bands. Not only is this a cool use of materials, but I especially love that you can fill the tubes with colored liquid and “experiment” to make the lamp entirely your own.
The lamp design was inspired by Polish scientist Maria Sklodowska-Curie, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of polonium and radium.

Jason Major:
The M1.7-class flare that erupted from active region 1461 on Monday, April 16 let loose an enormous coronal mass ejection many, many times the size of Earth, making this particular writer very happy that our planet was safely tucked out of aim at the time and 93 million miles away.
The image above was obtained by NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory’s AIA 304 imaging instrument on Monday during the height of the event. I rotated the disk of the Sun 90 degrees to get a landscape look over the eastern limb, cropped it down and then added an Earth image to scale—just to show how fantastically huge our home star really is.

Adulting: Step 213: Do not comment on things people are, comment on things they do
The simplest example of this is not telling a tall person that they’re tall.
So much of our lives are shaped by weird rolls of the genetic dice, or fate, or God, or however you choose to interpret that particular mystery. Whether someone is short or tall or originally from Canada or gay or Asian or born to rich parents or redheaded or whatever — that’s not something they chose or cultivated in themselves, and it’s not something they work for.
What makes someone good and valuable is not these traits. It’s the choices they make and the things they do. I’d always rather someone tell me I’m a good writer than that my red hair is pretty, because one of those things is something I work my ass off at, and another is some protein encoding. Both are sweet things to say; one means a lot more to me.
It’s not that you can’t be proud of/pleased by these intrinsic things, but don’t forget that the things you (and others) deserve credit for are the things you have control over.
And do what you would like to be.
