The birds represent 1’s. The spaces represent 0’s. The arrangement of birds on the wires (with the flying bird) is:
01001101 01001111
01010110 01000101
Which means MOVE in binary (note for nerds: actually it translates to four numbers which represent those letters in the two most common text encodings [ASCII and UTF-8]). If the flying bird flies away, it changes to:
01001100 01001111
01010110 01000101
Which translates to LOVE.This is even more interesting than the Connect-the-dots tattoos that I previously blogged about!

Irena Sendler .//

Recently I blogged mostly about different forms of art and neglected one of the topics of this blog:
Outstanding People!
And the following example is really worth mentioning due to the fact that its goal is to help us realise there are more important things than politics that deserve our attention and appreciation.
Irena Sendler
1910-2008
A 98 year-old German woman named Irena Sendler recently died. During WWII, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. Irena smuggled Jewish children out; infants in the bottom of the tool box she carried and older children in a burlap sack she carried in the back of her truck. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children. She eventually was caught, and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families. Most had been killed. She helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.
Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.
Al Gore won - for a slide show on Global Warming.

Amazing installation by Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka for the Maison Hermès in Japan. The scarf trick seems to be his idea entirely but it's odd how nobody blogged about him being inspired by Andy Warhol 's famous screen tests.

* A flash mob (or flashmob) is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse.

Felice Varini @ Vercorin .//
.
Minutes ago I've posted about a project inspired by Felice Varini without knowing that Felice did it again and this time it's big.Really big. We're not talking about an abandoned building or warehouse anymore. The buildings in the town of Vercorin in the Swiss Alps contribute to an impressive piece by Felice Varini, called Cercle et suite d'éclats. Using his 3d technique he created this pattern where the correct image can only be seen from a vantage point. Photographs from the same spot in daylight make the town look flat, almost like a postcard.
Check out the amazing Panorama in full view here:
