morning computer bring more rain

Chiharu Shiota.

Comprised of three small structures that include a main residence, an art studio and a bath house, the Rain Harvest Home integrates rainwater-harvest architecture – an uncommon practice despite the region having abundant rainfall.

Visit ancient Mars—a surprisingly temperate planet where snow or rain falls from the sky, and rivers rush down valleys to feed hundreds of lakes.

A new study from geologists at the University of Colorado Boulder paints this picture of a red planet that was relatively warm and wet, much different than the frigid wasteland we know today. The team’s findings suggest that heavy precipitation likely fed many networks of valleys and channels that shaped the Martian surface billions of years ago—adding new evidence to a long-running debate in planetary science.

marks for 18may25

This is also where I do a search and find out Parfrey died nearly ten years ago. I knew nothing about him beyond having admired his book APOCALYPSE CULTURE back circa 1990. The article is a weird read.

morning computer clock time

Maybe Next Time.

While the exhibition is physically immersive, its conceptual focus is time (or rather, how time is experienced in prison). As Caputo explains, “Time in prison is never neutral; it is structured, regimented, and often experienced as an oppressive force.” The exhibition’s title, Prison Times, nods to this fragmented, fictional timescale, where the outside world runs on one clock and the incarcerated on another.

A jacket with built-in electric fans designed by Japanese fashion brand Anrealage keeps staff cool at the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation pavilion at the Osaka Expo.

The pavilion aims to depict the future of communication, and Morinaga applied the same idea when designing the uniforms.

“These clothes transcend division and disparity, connect the dots and expand human potential by sharing senses,” the designer explained.

morning computer brutalists

Published April 15, 2025 by Warren Ellis

Here’s some THE BRUTALIST vibes: Arkpro Studio designs concrete church in Albania as “new village centre.”

As I noted here, the soundtrack for THE BRUTALIST was excellent. The soundtrack by Daniel Blumberg is being released on CD next month (UK) (US+). The cover, of course, is the still that’s going to become one of the defining filmic images of the first half of the 21st Century.

It’s even floating around as a phone wallpaper now.

Personally, I’ve gone with something else this season:

Blumberg has his own bandcamp page that I want to dig through soon.
