An infinite loop of an arm reproducing itself through a record player.

No, but actually this is another one of my ink pen dotting slash hand steadiness practicing drawings.

CUBICLE APARTMENTS / HK via Transit City

When the Society for Community Organization , a charity that helps badly housed Hong Kong , trying to educate the local government on the people who live in the real vertical slums are the “ cubicle apartments “ , it gives this kind of images. It is now estimated at more than 100,000 the number of people who occupy these micro-slumswho do not say their name. More on this topic here . Upstream on the density of HK , see here .

On the antiquity of language: the reinterpretation of Neandertal linguistic capacities and its consequences

by Dan Dediu and Stephen C. Levinson

“It is usually assumed that modern language is a recent phenomenon, coinciding with the emergence of modern humans themselves. Many assume as well that this is the result of a single, sudden mutation giving rise to the full “modern package”. However, we argue here that recognizably modern language is likely an ancient feature of our genus pre-dating at least the common ancestor of modern humans and Neandertals about half a million years ago. To this end, we adduce a broad range of evidence from linguistics, genetics, palaeontology and archaeology clearly suggesting that Neandertals shared with us something like modern speech and language. This reassessment of the antiquity of modern language, from the usually quoted 50,000-100,000 years to half a million years, has profound consequences for our understanding of our own evolution in general and especially for the sciences of speech and language. As such, it argues against a saltationist scenario for the evolution of language, and towards a gradual process of culture-gene co-evolution extending to the present day. Another consequence is that the present-day linguistic diversity might better reflect the properties of the design space for language and not just the vagaries of history, and could also contain traces of the languages spoken by other human forms such as the Neandertals” (read more/open access).

***I have yet to read this and probably won’t be able to argue for or against the validity of a psychology article. However, I believe the fossil evidence suggests that Neandertals (and also earlier hominids) were capable of speech. What their language, as distinct from speech, in contrast, would have been like, I don’t know. The capacity for speech has been studied and criticised from a number of perspectives including those focusing on loss of airsacs; descent of the larynx; size, position and shape of the hypoglossal canal; and more recently the capacity to hear the human voice. Others, like D. Stout have used fMRIs and have found that similar areas of the brain “fire up” when a person knaps as when a person speaks. As a rule, most palaeoanthropologists feel that speech has a more ancient origin than do Palaeolithic archaeologists.

staceythinx:

Jennifer’s McCurdy’s porcelain pottery looks almost as alive as its inspiration.

McCurdy on her work:

Emotion fills me when I see perfect forms in nature, from the cracked conch shell on the beach revealing its perfect spiral, to the milkweed pod burst in the field, its brilliant airborne seeds streaming into the sunlight. The ordered symmetry and asymmetry of nature’s forms reveal the growth of life, the movement of life.

Living on Martha’s Vineyard, island time, especially in the winter, seems to conform to nature’s cycles. As a potter, I strive to make my work reflect the balance of life around me. It is important that the patterns I see around me are integrated into my forms.

“Chambering” for the online publication Nautilus

This is one of a set of .gifs I made for a short story in Nautilus’ preview issue, that ended up getting cut. The story was about star-crossed lovers and the creation of the universe. I worked on this back in December, phew! Sometimes things don’t pan out, but that’s OK. Nautilus is a really interesting new publication, check it out. Thanks AD Len Small!
