@oshwassociation Got to chat today with Andy Quitmeyer & Paula Te about #Dinacon, on #HacksterCafe! youtube.com/watch?v=MzmGka5clM

Among our topics: digital #naturalism, #CitizenScience, custom glue, DIY dynamos, collaboration with local & nomadic groups at locations around the planet, contextual crafting, and open-source documentation... plus a sweet "BrailleRAP" machine at the end! (That's the thing featured in the thumbnail.) 🤩✨

Andy and Paula peek out over their names and the Café label. Background is an XY plotter machine, stamping raised dots on cardstock and (jammed/torn) banana leaf, with the help of a pointy bit underneath and a domed "anvil" on top, which move in synchrony to produce smooth bumps.

'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'

"Basket of Roses," Henri Biva, 1891.

Biva (1848-1929) was a Realist/Naturalist painter of landscapes and the occasional still life. His work is recognizable for a degree of realism and attention to detail that prefigures the photorealism that would rise in the late 20th century.

I once showed one of his landscapes to a friend, who gazed at it for ages, then said, "You can almost HEAR that painting," as in it was easy to imagine the calls of birds and buzzing of insects. It was as if one could step through the frame into a lovely, but realistic, scene.

His attention to detail, his skill as a colorist, and his ability to depict natural light and make it LOOK natural on the canvas, are remarkable to me. He is scandalously overlooked and deserves greater attention....a lot of his work may not look like much at a glance (views of meadows or wooded glades or the shore of a pond or creek) but reward your attention with their amazing detail and realism. Go look him up.

Happy Flower Friday!

From a private collection.

An Academic painting of a basket of roses, sitting on the grass and presented from an angle as if we are lounging in the grass looking at it. The roses are varying shades of pink, yellow, and red. In the background, a footpath is visible and grassy lawns and trees, resembling a park. All is done in great detail and highly realistic style.
