This Is Water [#geekgirl]

[Whenever I hear/read/am-exposed-to the genius of David Foster Wallace, I always feel that awful gut-twist of sadness when realising, again, that he took himself away from the world. RIP DFW.]

“In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.”

Alchemy from Henry Jun Wah Lee / Evosia on Vimeo.

Please watch full screen and turn up the volume!

Alchemy is a short film about transformation. In nature, everything is constantly changing: the earth, the sky, the stars, and all living things. Spring is followed by summer, fall and winter. Water turns into clouds, rain and ice. Over time, rivers are created, canyons carved, and mountains formed. All of these elements, mixed together, create the magic of nature’s alchemy.

[You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'- that these guys could easily be cast-members from the "Game of Thrones" series. Seriously: *every* *single* *one*.]

Infectious Laugh Break-Time [#geekgirl]

I absolutely love the way Craig Ferguson just can’t stop himself from going all-hysterial-laffing-like in the above clip. Makes for a very infectious laugh session (whether or not you think the actual joke is lulzy or not).

#Animal Smarts, They Haz Them [#geekgirl]

You know when you read an article that reports on information you’ve known for years, and you find yourself sitting smugly going “Well, DUH!?”. Then read on, vainglorious [but infinitely wise] comparative psychologists:

New research shows that we have grossly underestimated both the scope and the scale of animal intelligence. Primatologist Frans de Waal on memory-champ chimps, tool-using elephants and rats capable of empathy.

#Marina Abramović + #Ulay: #MoMA 2010 [#geekgirl]

Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.
