River Cities

Rivers are a metaphor for the flows between all life and earth’s systems.
They form one aspect of the continuous circulation of Earth’s water — from glaciers, rivers, oceans, clouds, groundwater, and through the cells/circulation systems of living things.

River cities is touring research project, studying rivers and human settlements on rivers through methods of integration and choreography. The project interests it's self connection and interference between human and the earth, focused upon points of collision between urban and wild.

Underground farm in Japanese office building

An underground rice and vegetable field has been planted beneath an office building in Tokyo's Otemachi business district. This urban farm - in what used to be the vault of a major bank - is maintained using computer-controlled artificial light and temperature management. It was brought into being by a personnel company as a means of providing agricultural training to young people who are having trouble finding employment and middle-aged people in search of a second career.

reverse graffitti

Brazilian artist Alexandre Orion turned a São Paulo transport tunnel into a kind of graphic charnel house, lined with skulls.
He created the images, the project's website explains, "by selectively scraping off layers of black soot deposited on those walls in the short life of this orifice of modernity."
