Journey: by the creative studio Nohlab - Atelier des Lumières

The Atelier des Lumières gallery in Paris is holding an exhibition called Journey: by the creative Nohlab studio from 28 February 2020 to 3 January 2021.

The Turkish collective Nohlab received first prize at the Immersive Art Festival in Paris on 24 October 2019, and is currently on exhibition at the Atelier des Lumières gallery.

The collection presents digital designs, with large displays on the walls of the gallery, by some of the most influential artistic collectives in the world of digital arts. Eleven works were adapted to, and designed for, the Atelier des Lumières gallery.

It is a 4-minute show with video, photography, motion design, and surround-sound. It is an experimental journey with the theme of photons, one of the primary elements of light. The journey describes how photons pass through all of the layers of the eye (iris, vitreous humour, optical nerve, etc.) until they reach the neurons and are converted into electrical signals. It describes the process by which photons are transformed into a form of energy that is perceptible by the brain.

Nohlab, created in 2011, is a studio that specializes in the production of interdisciplinary experiences around art, design, and technology. It creates a link between digital technology and reality. It creates tools, models, and stories in which the link between humans and technology takes different forms.

Flaws in the Glass, a self-portrait by Patrick White: book review

The manuscript, Flaws in the Glass (1981), is Patrick Victor Martindale White’s autobiography. White, born in 1912 in England, migrated to Sydney, Australia, when he was six months old. For three years, at the age of 20, he studied French and German literature at King’s College at the University of Cambridge in England. Throughout his life, he published 12 novels. In 1957 he won the inaugural Miles Franklin Literary Award for Voss, published in 1956. In 1961, Riders in the Chariot became a best-seller, winning the Miles Franklin Literary Award. In 1973, he was the first Australian author to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for The Eye of the Storm, despite many critics describing his works as ‘un-Australian’ and himself as ‘Australia’s most unreadable novelist.’ In 1979, The Twyborn Affair was short-listed for the Booker Prize, but he withdrew it from the competition to give younger writers the opportunity to win the award. His autobiography, Flaws in the Glass...

Sister cities discussed: Canberra and Islamabad

Two months ago, in March 2015, Australia and Pakistan agreed to explore ways to deepen ties. The relationship between Australia and Pakistan has been strong for decades, and the two countries continue to keep dialogues open. The annual bilateral discussions were held in Australia in March to continue engagements on a wide range of matters of mutual interest. The Pakistan delegation discussed points of interest will include sports, agriculture, economic growth, trade, border protection, business, and education. The possible twinning of the cities of Canberra, the capital of Australia, and Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, were also on the agenda (i.e. called twin towns or sister cities). Sister City relationships are twinning arrangements that build friendships as well as government, business, culture, and community linkages. Canberra currently has international Sister City relationships with Beijing in China and Nara in Japan. One example of existing...
