I Coldplays musikkvideo Paradise fra det helt nye albumet Mylo Xyloto som kom tidligere denne uka, er det en elefant i hovedrollen. (Det sies at Chris Martin skjuler seg på innsiden …)

20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

Om lyd og hva den betyr for hvordan vi oppfatter verden.

HAERSKOGEN fra David Luepschen på Vimeo.

Jeg har en kreativitetsbok. Der er det en oppgave som går ut på å se for seg et kjedelig sted i verden, og skrive ned hvordan du ville forandret det, for at det skulle blitt perfekt for deg. Det skal si noe om hvem og hvordan du er. Jeg har ikke løst oppgaven enda, bare svosjet over den såvidt. Men da jeg fant denne videoen litt tilfeldig, begynte jeg å tenke på den oppgaven igjen. Og jeg tenkte at dette kunne vært min løsning: Et luftig sted som samtidig er lunt, hvor det er helt stille men samtidig mye lyd, av skog og fugler som synger, og ingen snakker, ingen sier noe, alle er bare stille og titter på hverandre med store, forventningsfulle blikk.

Ord av fysikeren Richard Feynman (1918 – 1988) og bilder fra blant andre NASA og BBC, utgjør The Feynman Series — en trilogi sammensatt av den kanadiske filmskaperen Reid Gower. Sjekk også ut Sagan Series til hyllest for Carl Sagan.

What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.

Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.

We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.

Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.

The system is that there is no system. That doesn’t mean we don’t have process. Apple is a very disciplined company, and we have great processes. But that’s not what it’s about. Process makes you more efficient.
But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem. It’s ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.

I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.
