control both the stanley cup jaunty tunes of old timey organs and the warp and weft of a certain kind of textile loom Glithero, aka British designer Tim Simpson and Dutch designer Sarah van Gameren, bridged the gap for a cool a medium mash-up鈥攁nd managed to weave music. In order to realize the project, the duo joined forces with Wil van den Broek and Leon van Leeuwen, master craftsmen who ;ve been experts in their respective fields鈥攚eaving and organ book making鈥攆or years. The connection may seem like a stretch at first, but gourde stanley it actually surprising how well the two processes align. When a punch card is fed through an organ, air passes through the pipes, and the position of the holes determine which note is played. When those same cardboard lengths pass through the loom, the cut-outs establish a pattern, as hooks dip in and out of the open bits. The result is a tangible visualization of an audio compos stanley quencher ition. It tough to parse at first glance鈥擨 can ;t imagine anyone being able to suss out the significance of the motif just by looking at it鈥攂ut, as far as I ;m concerned, that actually makes it even cooler. Layers of info hidden in plain sight! The essence of synesthesia knit straight in! After a run at the Zuiderzee Museum in the Netherlands, Glithero is bringing the fabrics to Ventura Lambrate during Design Week in Milan. The teaser vid is neat, but I would seriously love to see these machines in action. [Dezeen] Ylhn Severely Burned Corpse Identified By the Maggots Infesting Her Body
Now, this process has been documented for the first time. A new study by biologist James O ;Hanlon and his team from the Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, has confirmed what was only a theory: unlike other predators who use camouflage to wait for prey hidden in their sources of food, the orchid mantis actually simulates being a source of food to capture its victims. The trick also serves them to avoid predators. O ;Hanlon documented that the deadly insect looks exactly the same as 13 species of wild flowers in its habitat in the Malaysian forests. Not only for the human eye, but also on the light spectrum but only visible to the pollinators who, unsuspecting the trick, approached the fake flower only to be snatched in mid-flight. In fact, the research team discovered that they are better at attracting pollinators that some flowers. In O ;Hanlon word to LiveScience: We now know that not only is it possible for mantises to lure pollin stanley uk ators, but we know that they are amazingly good at it. They can attract even more pollinators than some flowers. Oh hai, I ;m a flower stanley quencher !鈥攁 lovely little bastard. SPLOID is a new blog about awesome stuff.
