From the Horrendous to the Sublime

Here's a powerful use of media for you to watch, passed along by William Golden: http://theunitedamerican.blogs.com/Movies/2000A/2000.html. And don't forget that what has happened to Americans is magnified many many times over by what has happened to Iraqis.

From human barbarism to human creativity. Thanks to Georgia Lambert for this: “Julian Beever is a British artist who is famous for his art o­n the pavements of England, France, Germany, Australia and Belgium. His images, drawn completely flat, look 3-dimensional when viewed at the right angle. Truly AMAZING!” More at http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/portable.htm:






























The image below has been taken at the wrong angle




This is the same drawing seen from the correct angle



Remember his foot is really flat o­n the pavement with the other foot!

The sidewalk art is similar to crop circles: they show that there is more to reality than meets the eye.

The video of the soldiers killed is very powerful. Now if we could show this to America, and if we could also see the 10s of thousands more Iraqis killed. It could help end all the insanity for good. (I showed my students film of beautiful Iraqi teens and their families before the attack. It was eye-opening for them to see that those kids were JUST like them. Sweet, hopeful and beautiful.) What a sad, sad shame all the way around.
