likeafieldmouse: Late Bloomers of the Arts

For all of you who’ve felt even for a second that it’s ever too late:

1. Charles Bukowski had his first book published when he was 49

2. Leonard Cohen was 33 when his first album was released

3. Marina Abramovic’s career as an independent artist wasn’t solidified until she was 42

4. Julia Child’s career started when she was 36

5. Van Gogh started drawing when he was 27

6. Monet painted Sunrise when he was 33, but wasn’t producing his best work until his early 40s

7. Kazuo Ohno started dancing when he was 27

8. William S. Burroughs had his first novel published when he was 39

Beautiful ‘flowers’ self-assemble in a beaker

With the hand of nature trained on a beaker of chemical fluid, the most delicate flower structures have been formed in a Harvard laboratory—and not at the scale of inches, but microns.

These minuscule sculptures, curved and delicate, don’t resemble the cubic or jagged forms normally associated with crystals, though that’s what they are. Rather, fields of carnations and marigolds seem to bloom from the surface of a submerged glass slide, assembling themselves a molecule at a time.

By simply manipulating chemical gradients in a beaker of fluid, Wim L. Noorduin, a postdoctoral fellow at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and lead author of a paper appearing on the cover of the May 17 issue of Science, has found that he can control the growth behavior of these crystals to create precisely tailored structures.

“For at least 200 years, people have been intrigued by how complex shapes could have evolved in nature. This work helps to demonstrate what’s possible just through environmental, chemical changes,” says Noorduin.

Let it be known that these are falsely-colored, still awesome tho!

I remember another nano-flower structure made from Germanium Sulfide crystals which is pretty cool looking as well.

Australian artist Joel Rea creates cinematic paintings pulsing with the intensity of the wind and ocean waves. Rea captures the dynamic motion of natural elements, placing human protagonists into environments that make our species appear minuscule in comparison to the elemental forces. Rea’s dramatically-lit works transmits a sense of vertigo as one watches his characters (both human and canine) tumble and fall through the clouds or confront tumultuous waters. Take a look at some of Rea’s paintings below, images courtesy of the artist.

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

“There is no known perversion that Albert Fish did not...

Sat, 04 May 2013 14:18:23 -0700

“There is no known perversion that Albert Fish did not practice,” wrote the prison psychiatrist who interviewed 66-year-old Albert Fish in 1934. A house painter and father of six children, Fish also happened to be a multiple killer, child molester, and cannibal. Claiming to have attacked over 100 children. This he revealed in a confession so shocking that even the prosecuting attorneys were loath to read it aloud in court. Albert fish had been born in Washington, DC, his father, a riverboat captain, was seventy-five at the time. Various members of the family had mental problems and one suffered from religious mania. One brother was feeble-minded and another an alcoholic. His father died when Fish was five years old, and he was placed in an orphanage, from which he regular ran away. When he was 49 years old, his wife left him for another man. After that, Fish’s personality steadily deteriorated while his behavior became increasingly bizarre, and finally murderous. His victims were children who were deceived into his clutches by his friendly manner and grandfatherly appearance. A vicious sadist who performed unspeakable tortures on young victims. Fish also a masochist who forced his own children to beat him. He also liked to collect news clippings on latter-day cannibals like Fritz Haarmann, otherwise known as “The Hanover Vampire.”

In 1928, Fish indulged his taste for human flesh on a 12-year-old girl named Grace Budd. She was the daughter of parents who knew and trusted Fish. When fish offered to take her to a party for children, they let him do so without any misgivings. Instead of a party, Fish took Grace to his cottage in Westchester county, New York. Stripping himself naked, Fish strangled the child, and then beheaded and dismembered her with a meat cleaver. He then cooked her body parts into a stew seasoned with onions and carrots. Albert Fish then consumed this grisly repast down to the last awful morsel, then he vanished. Several years later, Grace’s parents recieved a letter from fish, telling them exactly what he had done to their little girl. The letter he had sent to the girl’s parents was traced back to a rented room in Manhattan. Fish was apprehended and brought to trial soon after. The jury discounted his insanity plea and sentenced him to death by electric chair.

A routine X-ray revealed 29 seperate needles inserted around his groin, several were large sailmaker’s needles, which were endangering his bladder and vital organs. Fish confessed that he had been inserting and removing needles for years. He also liked sticking needles into his child victims. He always seemed to enjoy inflicting pain, even soaking bits of cotton wool, saturating them with alcohol, inserting them in his rectum and setting fire to them. He was executed on January 16, 1936. In New York’s Sing Sing. While waiting to be executed, in his final minutes, he remarked that this was “the supreme thrill, the only one I haven’t tried.” He even help the executioner to attach the electrodes to his leg. In his own words “I learned to like the taste of human flesh many years ago during a famine in China. It is something like veal. Little girls have more flavor than little boys.”
