“The great thing is, the sentence is really just a reminder to the listener to worry about whatever aspects of the technology they’re already feeling alarmist about, which in their mind gives you credit for addressing their biggest anxieties.”

Judith Braun (USA) - Fingering (detail)
New York-based artist Judith Braun has been working on her simple but beautiful series “Fingerings”, an ongoing project in which she uses walls as canvases to explore liberating, improvised strokes with her bare hands. While Braun creates the amazing floral and cosmic patterns, she also freely expresses herself with gestures and movements recorded in carbon – without creating waste and excess.

Just a pool, disguised as a pond, with a trampoline instead of a diving board.
I wrote a paper about these kinds of pools several years ago for a class when they were just prototypes. These pools have a natural filtration system that run based on the plants that are in the pool that give the water nutrients that allow it to not only be crystal clear, but you are also able to drink the water because it becomes so clean. And the best part is that once the initial filtration system is installed and calibrated, it maintains itself and eliminates the need for chlorine or constant maintenance like salt water pools.
