Chinese artist Chen Wenling critiques the global financial crisis in What You See Might Not Be Real, on display at a Beijing gallery. The bull is said to represent Wall Street, while the man pinned to the wall represents jailed financier Bernard Madoff.

Nous avons beaucoup vu ces derniers temps de travaux sur la superposition de couches graphiques ou encore de fausses images 3D anaglyphes. Ce travail de Carl Wiens s’inscrit dans la même mouvance et questionne au passage l’intervention de la technologie et de la science sur le règne animal. Quelques images de la série Darwin’s progeny…

I found these on this website : community.livejournal.com – and since it’s writen in Russian I’m not quite sure of the context in which these pictures were taken. From what I get they were shot in the 70’s by Artists Nonna Gorunova and Francisco Infante-Arana… in Russia, maybe..

300g of beef = 4500 litres of water…

Water is probably one of the most precious resources and vital for everyone’s everyday life. In spite of this obvious fact, people use large amounts of water: drinking, cooking and washing, but even more for producing things such as food, paper, cotton clothes, etc.

One of the most important research papers in this field is Chapagain, A.K. and Hoekstra, A.Y. (2004), »Water footprints of nations«, Value of Water Research Report Series No. 16, UNESCO-IHE, Delft, the Netherlands.
Designer Timm Kekeritz created a poster, visualizing parts of their research data, to make the issue of virtual water and the water footprint perceptible.

The water footprint of a person, company or nation is defined as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce the commodities, goods and services consumed by the person, company or nation.
The idea of the water footprint is quite similar to the ecological footprint, but focussing on the use of water.
