A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto (by aConcernedHuman)

Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto has created a beautiful, undeniably scary time-lapse map of the 2053 nuclear explosions which have taken place between 1945 and 1998, beginning with the Manhattan Project’s “Trinity” test near Los Alamos and concluding with Pakistan’s nuclear tests in May of 1998. This leaves out North Korea’s two alleged nuclear tests in this past decade (the legitimacy of both of which is not 100% clear).

Each nation gets a blip and a flashing dot on the map whenever they detonate a nuclear weapon, with a running tally kept on the top and bottom bars of the screen. Hashimoto, who began the project in 2003, says that he created it with the goal of showing”the fear and folly of nuclear weapons.” It starts really slow — if you want to see real action, skip ahead to 1962 or so — but the buildup becomes overwhelming.

This is quite frankly an astounding way to begin to understand the sheer scope of the forces we’ve unleashed when it comes to nuclear acts and proliferation. And all too often leaving a world public in the dark.

Glass Gem Corn… hands-down winner of the most amazing heirloom corn variety we’ve seen yet! Carefully stewarded by http://www.seedstrust.com/ in Arizona…

“Seedsman Greg Schoen got this seed from Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee man, now in his 80’s, in Oklahoma. He was Greg’s “corn-teacher”. Greg was in the process of moving last year and wanted someone else to store and protect some of his seeds. He left samples of several corn varieties, including glass gem. I grew out a small handful this past summer just to see. The rest, as they say is history. I got so excited, I posted a picture on Facebook. We have never seen anything like this - Bill (Seeds Trust)

Heres a song I am currently working on. It seems to be all flowing out really nicely. Still a lot of additions to be made and mixing to be done.

I can’t wait to be able to put this on my ipod, and go on my 3 am run.

Everything will look different because everything will sound different.

John Baldessari’s list of “assignments” for his CalArts class, 1970

When Baldessari was first getting started, CalArts wasn’t much of a name yet, and it was kind of a hippie school without grades or a curriculum or much structure — Baldessari started teaching there before he became “one of the top conceptual artists in the world.” Here’s a video of him talking about his time teaching there, including recollecting “a class on joint-rolling.” Here are some of the assignments from his list:

1 - Imitate Baldessari in actions and speech.

10 - Create art from our procedures of learning. How does an infant learn?

16 - Given: $1. What art can you do for that amount?

17 - Cooking art. Invent recipes. They are organizations of parts, aren’t they?

23 - What are the minute differences in things that are supposed to be the same?

31 - Steal the trash from Pres. Corrigan’s wastebasket and make a collage of it.

43 - Forgeries. Ea. in class tries to forge my signature on a check by looking at an original. Or forgeries of forgeries of forgeries, etc.

46 - One person copies or makes up random captions. Another person takes photos. Match photos to captions.

68 - Make up a list by looking at art books, talking to artists on things to avoid in making art. Do them. Ask yourself if results are good or bad art.

85 - Describe the visual verbally and the verbal visually.

99 - Art that requires the rental of a Service rather than an Object.

More on Baldessari from the LATimes:

For anyone not wired to contemporary art, John Baldessari is a 58-year-old artist who grew up in the anonymous grubbiness of National City with expectations of going no further in life than teaching high school and making a bit of a local reputation as an artist. He pursued both dreams and wound up a figure of international reputation. Teaching—at CalArts instead of Chula Vista High—he evolved into a kind of guru. His influence, both direct and oblique, is downright astonishing. You can see his fingerprints on virtually every member of the younger generation who continues to dominate the high-risk lane of today’s art from Cindy Sherman to Robert Longo.

We think of artists as making their mark by adding something, something original. Baldessari has functioned by subtraction. Subtraction is not original in contemporary art; it comes from abstract Minimalism.

I became familiar with the list via Rob Walker’s review of Draw It with Your Eyes Closed: The Art of the Art Assignment.
