Glacier Timelines

"The Rhone Glacier" by Fabian Oefner.

Over the past 150 years, Switzerland’s glaciers have retreated up the alpine slopes, eaten away by warming temperatures induced by industrialization. But such changes can be difficult for people to visualize, so artist Fabian Oefner set out to make these changes more comprehensible. These photographs — showing the Rhone and Trift glaciers — are the result. Oefner took the glacial extent records dating back into the 1800s and programmed them into a drone. Lit by LED, the drone flew each year’s profile over the mountainside, with Oefner capturing the path through long-exposure photography. When all the paths are combined, viewers can see the glacier’s history written on its very slopes. The effect is, fittingly, ghost-like. We see a glimpse of the glacier as it was, laid over its current remains. (Image credit: F. Oefner; video credit: Google Arts and Culture)

Today there was a demonstration in #Amsterdam for free migration and refugee rights. Organised by MiGreat (https://migreat.org/en). The weather was great (a bit to sweltering) with mostly nice people. The only disappointment was the turnout, but that also made it nicer in a certain way. The reason for the turnout was probably; 1. people were to tired after the NATO-summit; 2. the municipality decided to move us out of the center, a 15 min. walk from the nearest public transport (although not having to trip over tourists is also a plus); 3. there was also a demo against an anti-refugee demo in Haarlem.

Here is a short time-lapse (via MiGreat with permission, blur is ours) at the moment we arrived back in the Martin Luther King Park (the start and finish).

📣 A shout-out to @MokumTegenFascisme.

How to draw a devious alien with a laser gun! 👽

(It's the time-lapse for yesterday's June Toons cartoon!)

A time-lapse of a cartoon illustration being created. The illustration is of an alien in a spacesuit running, carrying a laser gun. The alien is frowning and grinning mischievously. He is looking back and up. He is bald with light blue skin, red eyes, slits for nostrils, and is wearing a blue shirt. His spacesuit has a big glass bulb for a helmet, and the body is similarly bulky. His thin arms and legs stick out of framed holes. He is wearing light green boots and gloves. The laser gun is pointed upward and is yellow with a green bulb at the end. There is a simple control panel on the front of the spacesuit and a rocket on the back. The background is red, with a puff of pink spray paint over it

Herre's the time-lapse for yesterday's June Toons cartoon - this guy is making ALL the right moves. 🥴

A time-lapse of a cartoon illustration being created. The illustration is of a chess piece, the knight, which is a small bust of a horse on a tiny pedestal. The horse's eyes are bugging out and walleyed, and his tongue is sticking out of a goofy smile. The piece is a warm light gray with large blue shadows on the left side and bright shiny highlights on the right. The background is a gold color with a half circle of light behind the piece, and a faded checkerboard beneath it.
