Preparing for a Pandemic

One day a highly contagious and lethal strain of influenza will sweep across all humanity, claiming millions of lives. It may arrive in months or not for years -- but the next pandemic is inevitable. Are we ready?

... Never before has the world been able to see a flu pandemic on the horizon or had so many possible tools to minimize its impact once it arrives. Some mysteries do remain as scientists watch the evolution of a potentially pandemic virus for the first time, but the past makes one thing certain: even if the dreaded H5N1 never morphs into a form that can spread easily between people, some other flu virus surely will. The stronger our defenses, the better we will weather the storm when it strikes. "We have only one enemy," CDC director Gerberding has said repeatedly, "and that is complacency."

Image Savant - S P O R E

image

SPORE is an ongoing software/aesthetic development project that has grown out of a proprietary ultra-high speed particle renderer which runs on Irix, Linux, and OSX. All the images on page 1 and 2 are stills from animations, and some of these stills are constructed with over 1 billion particles.

Ultimately, the goal is to build a living system that will breed and evolve designs and animations that I would never have dreamed of, and could not produce by any other means.


I have assembled two galleries that illustrate the current state of these new "genetic" experiments. The renderings are fairly low-rezz and grainy, but I believe that you will be as fascinated by these pictures as I am.

Metal and Magic

image

Well, anyway. I'm the artist, I'm 27, and apparently unlike most other artists, I have not been drawing since my stubby fetal fingers could close around a prenatal pencil. I did the usual drawing as a kid, but my mother was an artist, and thus it held no romance for me, so I attempted to rebel and become a scientist. At seventeen, I sat down to Learn to Draw, since it didn't occur to me that drawing might not be a skill you could just learn because you wanted to, or might require talent or something, and fortunately, I seemed to be right, because I've been drawing ever since.

Alaska Aerial Photos

I hope my pictures stir your spirit and imagination. If you haven?t already visited this great state, you should add Alaska to your list of vacation destinations. Once you hear the wolves howl at a pulsating aurora, sit in a camp-chair at 2 a.m. while the sun still beams or feel the ocean spray from the splash of a breaching humpback whale, well, all I can say is that your perspective on life will never be the same.

Gardens of Glass

image

The exhibition runs from 28 May 2005 - 15 January 2006, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Gardens of Glass

Internationally celebrated Seattle artist Dale Chihuly is a by-word for all that is spectacular and exciting in contemporary glass. Much is owed to the grand and historic tradition of Venetian glass, with rich colours and extravagant shapes complemented by organic subtlety and visual and textural refinement.
