I probably have that stuck in my head since my fiance is watching old episodes of Smallville here lately... Anyway, I really love the straight lines, geometric shapes, and the variations in color. Looking forward to seeing more!<br /><br />WadeWadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458436517557347912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-66806952055917552572014-02-09T20:38:33.967-05:002014-02-09T20:38:33.967-05:00Thanks Hannah (Elizabeth?).

The trailer looks wonderful, and I see a definite relationship to Secret Codewords of the NSA! Will try to find out how to see the film.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178236295806176573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-58330509519378753412014-02-09T18:35:15.912-05:002014-02-09T18:35:15.912-05:00I'm not sure how relevant it really is, but th...I'm not sure how relevant it really is, but this particular piece made me think of Etienne de France's "documentary" Tales of a Sea Cow. The premise of his film is that a population of Stellar's Sea Cows, a species that in fact went extinct in the 18th century (not long after it was discovered by Europeans) has survived off of Greenland. Most of the film is devoted to the work of two "scientists" (in fact, they are actors, as the entire premise is fictional) who have discovered that these surviving Sea Cows are intensely sensitive to sources of electromagnetic radiation (radio transmissions, etc.), which they are able to memorize and reproduce in their song. Using a computer program, the "scientists" are able to convert the song into 3-D graphics, some of which take forms vaguely akin to the one in your piece. I'm sure the NSA would be very interested in the capabilities of these mammals!<br /><br />There is a trailer for the film at http://vimeo.com/41388106.<br /><br />Best wishes.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485410374923842372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14184600.post-15622390578024773282014-02-09T18:05:47.500-05:002014-02-09T18:05:47.500-05:00I love the faceted iceberg Annie.

I don't think I'll be able to pull off the octopus myself (although their tentacle patterns are amazing) but I will look forward to yours. Can't wait to see all of this in a Blurb book. I'm assuming you'll have your thought provoking text as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272062498821124781noreply@blogger.com
