WEEK 3 POEM: Air in the Shape of a Man

a great many ways to vanish—
a knife kick through the surface,
a stuttering shift sideways,
a four-quartered tear, an inwardly
diminishing spiral—"

POTD - You Have Harnessed Yourself Ridiculously to This World by Lucie Brock-Broido
You Have Harnessed Yourself Ridiculously to This World
Tell the truth I told me When I couldn’t speak.
Sorrow’s a barbaric art, crude as a Viking ship Or a child
Who rode a spotted pony to the lake away from summer
In the 1930s Toward the iron lung of polio.
According to the census I am unmarried And unchurched.
The woman in the field dressed only in the sun.
Too far gone to halt the Arctic Cap’s catastrophe, big beautiful
Blubbery white bears each clinging to his one last hunk of ice.
I am obliged, now, to refrain from dying, for as long as it is possible.
For whom left am I first?
We have come to terms with our Self
Like a marmoset getting out of her Great Ape suit.
I had the immense pleasure of studying with Lucie. She has this amazing collection of porcelain figures of horses hatching out of eggs.
She introduced me to Thomas James.
She is lovely.

The Lion City: Singapore in a Stunning Tilt-Shift Timelapse
From the creator, Keith Loutit :
After developing the tilt shift/time-lapse combo as my main style, I’ve been working on a series of experimental focus and light transition techniques that build on many of the same principles.
For ‘The Lion City,’ the idea behind the use of the technique is for focus and distance to be something the viewer can experience. It also doubles to communicate the constant heat and humidity that hits you whenever you leave the comfort of air conditioning in Singapore.

Woodcut Stop-Motion Movie Made of 800 Frames of Maple
The New American uses 800 individual laser-cut maple blocks as frames in this stop-motion movie by designer Nando Costa .
Costa says:
The abstract storyline showcased in this piece is a concoction of a variety of ideas and can perhaps be described as a union between concepts and experiments born during the Situationist movement and real life events experienced during the last few years in American society. Particularly the duality between the economic downturn and the shift in values and beliefs of many citizens.
