Clean-Tech

Cleantech is a term used to describe knowledge-based products or services that improve operational performance, productivity, or efficiency while reducing costs, inputs, energy consumption, waste, or pollution. Its origin is the increased consumer, regulatory and industry interest in clean forms of energy generation—specifically, perhaps, the rise in awareness of global warming and the impact on the natural environment from the burning of fossil fuels.

Cleantech first emerged in widespread use to describe a group of emerging technologies, industries, and financial asset classes based on principles of biology, resource efficiency, and second-generation production concepts in basic industries. Examples include energy efficiency, selective catalytic reduction, non-toxic materials, water purification, solar energy, wind energy, and new paradigms in energy conservation. Since the 1990s, interest in these technologies has increased with two trends: a decline in the relative cost of these technologies and a growing understanding of the link between industrial design used in the 19th century and early 20th century, such as fossil fuel power plants, the internal combustion engine, and chemical manufacturing, and an emerging understanding of human-caused impact on earth systems resulting from their use (see articles: ozone hole, acid rain, desertification, and global warming).

"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."

"For one human being to love another, thats perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks... The work for which all other work is but preparation."

A falha busca da poesia - Vinícius Vargas

A falha busca da poesia


_Clarinhaaaaaaaaa

gritou o menino, mas ñao havia Clarinha
Não havia menino,
apenas a mente endurecida do poeta.
Eis então,
que quem clama Clarinha é ele..
Mas Clarinha não vem,
porque a mente endurecida do poeta
já não pode vislumbrar Clarinha na escuridão.

Vinícius Vargas

Blue Man Group -Las Vegas

Blue Man Group (Blue Man, BMG) é uma organização criativa estadunidense fundada por Phil Stanton, Chris Wink e Matt Goldman nos anos 80.
Suas apresentações são focadas em um trio de atores mudos, chamados Blue Men, que se apresentam com os rostos pintados de azul e cabeças cobertas por toucas de látex similares às usadas por nadadores, além de luvas também azuis, e roupas de cor preta.

As apresentações do Blue Man Group incorporam rock, com ênfase em percussão, participação do público, iluminação sofisticada, e grandes quantidades de papel. Também é conhecida por haver uma "seção poncho" na platéia: nas primeiras fileiras, membros da platéia são equipados com ponchos de plástico para protegê-los de várias substâncias que são jogadas, ejetadas ou pulverizadas do palco, como comida, tintas etc.

As apresentações tem temas familiares,

humorísticos, energéticos e freqüentemente satirizam a vida moderna. Muito do humor quebra a quarta parede, como ao interromperem a apresentação para ridicularizar os que chegam atrasados, por exemplo.

Existem grupos de BMG nas cidades de Nova Iorque, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Berlim, Londres, Amsterdam, Oberhausen e Orlando.

In the American West: Photographs by Richard Avedon

Stanford, California — The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University announces the presentation of In the American West: Photographs by Richard Avedon, February 14–May 6, 2007. The Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas, originally presented the exhibition in 1985, then again put a major portion of the original works on view September 2005 in a 21st-century reprise of the original show. In 2006, the 20th-anniversary exhibition goes on a national tour, which ends at the Cantor Arts Center.

“No one who saw the original exhibition 'In the American West' in 1985 could forget the impact and beauty of Avedon’s colossal images. The Cantor Arts Center is thrilled to show this ground-breaking project to a new generation of museum-goers who will be amazed and inspired by the medium in the hands of the great master," said Hilarie Faberman, the Center's Robert M. & Ruth L. Halperin Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.

Richard Avedon was already world famous for elevating fashion photography to an art form and for his insightful portraits of men and women of accomplishment, when the Amon Carter Museum’s first director, Mitchell A. Wilder, saw Avedon’s 1978 portrait of a Montana ranch foreman. Wilder asked the artist to make portraits of others across the American West under the sponsorship of the Amon Carter Museum. From 1979 to 1984, Avedon traveled through 13 states and 189 towns from Texas to Idaho, exposing 17,000 sheets of film through his 8-by-10-inch Deardorff view camera.

Focusing on the rural West, Avedon visited ranches and rodeos, but he also went to truck stops, oil fields, and slaughterhouses. Rather than playing to the western myths of grandeur and space, he sought out people whose appearance and life circumstances were the antithesis of mythical images of the ruggedly handsome cowboy, dashing outdoor adventurer, or beautiful pioneer wife. The subjects he chose for the portraits were ordinary people, coping daily with personal cycles of boom and bust.

Instead of glamorizing these figures, he brought their various human frailties to the forefront. All his subjects are pictured against a seamless white backdrop that removes any reference to place, and many of the portraits are dramatically oversized, shocking in their stark detail. Visitors to the exhibition come face-to-face with images that shattered stereotypes of a glorified region.

A majority of the photographs have not been seen in the United States since the initial tour. Sixty three of the original 124 portraits will be on view in this exhibition, including all of the project’s most important and best-known images. Amon Carter Museum Senior Curator of Photographs John Rohrbach began working with Avedon in early 2003 on image selection and installation design. Following Avedon’s death in late 2004, Rohrbach continued to work on the exhibition with The Richard Avedon Foundation.

The New York publisher Harry N. Abrams, Inc., reissued the exhibition catalogue with a new introductory preface by Rohrbach. The catalogue, with 174 pages and 120 reproductions is available in the Cantor Arts Center Bookshop for $35 soft cover and $75 hard cover.

In the American West is organized by the Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas. Generous funding for the exhibition is provided by the Katrine M. Deakins and Crystelle Waggoner Charitable Trusts, Bank of America. Presentation at the Cantor Arts Center is made possible by The Cowles Charitable Trust, Gilbert Ellenberger, an anonymous donor, and Cantor Arts Center members.

Sinto morrer aquela Marina. Aquela menina noturna, embebedada de sereno e noites frescas. Ouço músicas do passado e só me remeto a esse passado, vindo-me tão somente a sensação de noites. Eu era feliz nas noites. Nas noites eu via estrelas, claro. Via amigos, quase que com frequência. As noites alimentavam minhas paixões platônicas e me ensinavam o sabor da tristeza. Canso de me trancafiar entre quatro paredes e uma tela que não me levo aonde quero, porque onde quero já não está onde deveria. Tentei ver as coisas com o certo otimismo que me cobram, mas, infelizmente, o meu egoísmo de ser humano e minha imaturidade proposital me instalam nas fronteiras das dores e fatalidades. Medo de transbordar no novo que me surge. Atada, recorro a repetição, a qual é vaga.
