hippo eats dwarf.

My name is Heather. I came from fly-over country to live in New York. I make things for fun, and make other people make things for work. I post things that I like or things that piss me off on my tumblr, just like you.

Nikola Tamindzic on Tumblr.: Against atrophy and routine

homeofthevain:

How to ward off atrophy and routine, you ask? Well, I can give you a small and perhaps ridiculous example.

Every day, the New York Times carries a motto in a box on its front page. “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” it says. It’s been saying it for decades, day in and day out. I imagine that…

Something to be seen to be believed: Film still from David Lynch’s short experimental film made with the original Cinématographie camera invented by the Lumière brothers. Lynch was one of 41 international film directors who used the camera to make their own 52 second short, edited in-camera. Each director followed three rules: cannot be longer than 52 seconds, no synchronized sound (that is, the visuals cannot match the sound), and no more than three takes can be used.

Watch the films made by Lynch, Wim Wenders, and Peter Greenaway

why I go to school, part 784: so I can discover things that affect my soul that I probably would not have discovered on my own.

So this was my job for a while, and with any luck at all, it will be my job again in 3 months or so.

Alvin Lucier. “I am Sitting in a Room.” 1969.

“I am sitting in a room different from the one you are in now. I am recording the sound of my speaking voice and I am going to play it back into the room again and again until the resonant frequencies of the room reinforce themselves so that any semblance of my speech, with perhaps the exception of rhythm, is destroyed. What you will hear, then, are the natural resonant frequencies of the room articulated by speech. I regard this activity not so much as a demonstration of a physical fact, but more as a way to smooth out any irregularities my speech might have.”

End Of An Era of the Day: Space Shuttle Atlantis, manned by Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, charged into space this morning for the very last time.

Atlantis’s final launch was also the last launch of NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program. “The shuttle’s always going to be a reflection of what a great nation can do when it commits to be bold and follow through,” said the Commander Ferguson just before lift off. “We’re completing a chapter of a journey that will never end. Let’s light this fire one more time, and witness this great nation at its best.”

The crew will spend 12 days at the International Space Station attaching additional parts, including a room filled with a year’s worth of provisions, and conducting various experiments.

Atlantis is scheduled to return to Earth July 20th.

Watch the launch footage below:
