Sand Animation

Sand animation is the name given to a style of live performance art in which the performer creates a series of images using sand; a process which is achieved by applying sand to a surface and then rendering images by drawing lines and figures in the sand with one's hands. To increase visibility and to add further artistic aesthetic, a sand animation performer will often use the aid of an overhead projector or lightboard.

...and this one by Ferenc Cakó. It is a video of his live performance at SICAF 2003, in Seoul, South Korea.

I remeber seeing a mail about a guy who makes incredible pictures with the dust on car windshields.. He knows that all that effort last only till next wash! but still he takes pleasure in doing it.. I guess this is similar as well..

In paris I used to see people making painting with spray.. not only the result but also the process is very facinating..

Tribute to the musical genius

Ignorance is bliss?...NOT! ...atleast in the case of music. Its heartening to see someone write so highly of a true genius... Read Richard Corliss on the all-time best-selling recording artist who can't get a break in the States ... A R Rahman!

Solve this . . .

I solved this puzzle some time back. I don't remember how long it took me to figure this out, but it was time well spent. Very engaging...try it! Objective: Everybody has to cross the river. Game rules: Only 2 persons on the raft at a time The father cannot stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence The mother cannot stay with any of the sons without their father's presence The thief (striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the policeman is not there Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft. Game help: To start click on the big blue circle on the right. To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.
