Nothing to Prove - Geek Girls & The Doubleclicks Place Publique - Média citoyen, relais d’engagements associatifs et outil de démocratie participative Inserm, le 15/02/2011 Le sommeil permet de trier les informations importantes de celles qui ne le sont pas ! Il participe de manière très active au processus de fabrication des souvenirs. Mais comment notre cerveau distingue-t-il, parmi la multitude d’informations que nous traitons chaque jour, ce qui doit absolument être conservé en mémoire de ce qui peut être oublié ? Une étude publiée le 16 février 2011 dans la revue Journal of Neuroscience menée conjointement par Géraldine Rauchs (Unité Inserm U923, Caen), et ses collaborateurs Fabienne Collette et Pierre Maquet de l’université de Liège (Belgique), montre que le sommeil joue un rôle primordial dans la mémorisation à long terme des informations considérées comme importantes. La mémoire comment ça marche ? La mémoire est une fonction complexe qui nous offre la possibilité d’apprendre à skier, à jouer du piano mais également de se souvenir de nos vacances, notamment des détails, des émotions, des odeurs, etc.

The crayola-fication of the world: How we gave colors names, and it messed with our brains (part I) “Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blendingly enter into the other? So with sanity and insanity.”—Herman Melville, Billy Budd Spectral Rhythm. In Japan, people often refer to traffic lights as being blue in color. Blue and green are similar in hue. One of the first fences in this color continuum came from an unlikely place – crayons. Reconstructing the rainbow. In modern Japanese, midori is the word for green, as distinct from blue. And it’s not just Japanese. (Update: Some clarifications here. I find this fascinating, because it highlights a powerful idea about how we might see the world. Imagine that you had a rainbow-colored piece of paper that smoothly blends from one color to the other. A map of color for an English speaker. But if you think about it, there’s a real puzzle here. And here’s what they found. A picture worth many words.
The Best Art Books of 2012 by Maria Popova From Indian folklore to Paris vs. NYC, by way of Japanese Wonderland and 80 years of loving of dogs. After last week’s look at the best science books of 2012, the season’s indulgently subjective and non-exhaustive best-of reading lists continue with the year’s favorite art books, in no particular order. From visionary Indian indie publisher Tara Books, who for nearly two decades have been giving voice to marginalized art and literature through a commune of artists, writers, and designers collaborating on beautifully crafted books celebrating Indian folk art traditions. Tejubehan takes us on a journey from her small village into the big city, where her poor parents move to find work. It is like magic. We reach the city! At its heart, however, the story is really a feminist story — a vision for women’s liberation in a culture with oppressive gender norms and limiting social expectations. I like cars. But even in the plane, my women are not content to sit still.
Sign Painters: What a Disappearing Art Teaches Us About Creative Purpose and Process by Maria Popova “It is at the moment o f a craft’s disappearance that its cultural value suddenly becomes plain to see.” As a lover of exquisite hand-lettering, elegant vintage-inspired typography, and vibrant storefront signage, I was instantly smitten with Sign Painters (public library) — a stunning companion to Faythe Levine and Sam Macon’s documentary of the same title, exploring the disappearing art through interviews with some of its most prominent masters amidst a lavish gallery of extraordinary hand-painted signage, with a foreword by Ed Ruscha. But this is no mere eye candy — brimming with candid insights, personal stories, and wisdom on the creative life, the book envelops the “what” with rich and ample layers of the “how” and the “why.” This book, like the job of the sign painter, isn’t always about eye-popping, flashy designs. In setting on this topic, Levine and Macon are just in time. Doc Guthrie (Los Angeles, California) echoes Alan Watts and articulates it beautifully:
Amazing Underground Art In Stockholm’s Metro Station EmailEmail A casual underground ride in Stockholm becomes quite a treat for the eyes of the passengers, as most of the stations in the capital of Sweden are showcasing some amazing underground artwork. Russian software architect Alexander Dragunov must’ve really enjoyed his rides as well, and made some stunning shots of the underground artwork. The pictures below were taken in the Solna Centrum station, were the cave-like installations were created by artists Anders Aberg and Karl-Olov Bjor back in the 1970s. Ever since 19th century, a debate has been going on in Sweden about the need to make art more accessible to people outside the salons. Website: adragunov.com
