Are on the endangered species list. :( Especially the variety that most apples can be traced back to.

Green spaces improve health!!!

Which completely justifies my public art project proposal.
ehehe.
"Research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health says the impact is particularly noticeable in reducing rates of mental ill health.
The annual rates of 15 out of 24 major physical diseases were also significantly lower among those living closer to green spaces.
One environmental expert said the study confirmed that green spaces create 'oases' of improved health around them."

Whale-penis-skin leather seats...

Wrong on so many levels.

New AES+F Video. :D

have only watched once so far, and it took me about 10 views of their last riot video (2007) to form a valid opinion, so will watch again later, but on first view, REALLY love it. Surreal and critiquing society and.. yay! I want a budget to make works like this...


UPDATE:
Ok, so I've watched the whole thing through a couple of times now, and still really like it. There are so many subtle references to so much, that even though it's 30 minutes long you have to concentrate on it hard to pick things up. Each time I watch it I notice new things. I like that they're still using art historical references, there are a few deposition poses in their, and the lifting of the cross(surfboard in this case), as well as the three graces and various other things.
The racial stereotypes  and their tension filled slowmotion interactions are also very effective. The animation is much smother than Last riot was, and it's much nicer to watch - the colours are so rich. The whole thing speaks aboutexcess and consumerism, international travel, and exploitation and racial division/coinhabition.
It's interesting on a lot of levels, and entertaining to watch.

For crying out loud!

Ugh. PEOPLE are so frustrating sometimes. Never underestimate the potential for damage caused by stupid people in large masses....
bloody journalism also... should be filtered.

For those in the population struggling to overcome the limitations of a room temperature IQ: NOT EVERYTHING YOU READ/SEE ON TV/HEAR IS TRUE. OK? Do some of your own research and form a valid opinion, instead of reiterating conflicting opinions like you believe in both sides of any given argument.
