Rutas Cervantes :: Paris :: Instituto Cervantes :: Ruta Rayuela La Anécdota A la hora de diseñar la cubierta de Rayuela, Julio Cortázar tiene claro que quiere una rayuela. El 8 de octubre de 1962, durante el proceso de producción del libro, le escribe a Paco Porrúa, su editor en Sudamericana: "Voy a ir el sábado a las librerías de Saint-Germain-des-Prés, y miraré los álbumes de Brassaï y otros fotógrafos en busca de una rayuela". Debió ser ese día que compró Graffitis, fotolibro publicado por Brassaï el año anterior. Juan Manuel Bonet La Sugerencia "Cuantos viajeros no han buscado la rue de Seine para asomarse al arco que da al Quai de Conti en un atardecer de diciembre y tratar de distinguir sobre el Pont des Arts la figura delgada de una mujer inclinada sobre el agua" asevera el autor de la ruta de Rayuela, el escritor José María Conget. Ese pequeño "pasadizo" en el que comienza la novela es el punto sugerido e inevitable de la ruta, el número uno de nuestro recorrido.
ARS Electronica | Prix Ars Electronica Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN is the new international competition for digital artists to win a residency at CERN the world’s largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva. It is the first prize to be announced as part of the new Collide@CERN artists residency programme initiated by the laboratory. This new prize marks a 3 year science/arts cultural partnership and creative collaboration between CERN and Ars Electronica – which began with CERN’s cooperation with Origin – the Ars Electronica Festival in 2011. The aim of the Prix Ars Electronica Collide@CERN prize is to take digital creativity to new dimensions by colliding the minds of scientists with the imaginations of artists. The residency is in two parts – with an initial two months at CERN, where the winning artist will have a specially dedicated science mentor from the world famous science lab to inspire him/her and his/her work. The winning artist will receive 10,000 Euros prize money Submission Details Checklist for Submissions:

Magnifying the Universe Embed this infographic on your site! <iframe width="500" height="323" scrolling="no" src=" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />Copyright 2012. <a href=" the Universe</a> by <a href=" Sleuth</a>. The above is an interactive infographic. Introduction: This interactive infographic from Number Sleuth accurately illustrates the scale of over 100 items within the observable universe ranging from galaxies to insects, nebulae and stars to molecules and atoms. While other sites have tried to magnify the universe, no one else has done so with real photographs and 3D renderings. We hope you have a blast magnifying the universe, know that each time you zoom in a depth, you're magnifying the universe 10x ... and every time you zoom out, the bigger objects are 1/10th of their prior size.
