Irish lighting artist Niam Barry makes three dimensional drawings in bronze and light. She looks at the beauty of nature for inspiration - the beauty in the movement of the human form, in embrace, in dance, in a still moment. The beauty of low winter light penetrating the branches of bare trees.
“I create work viscerally, to be seen with your eyes but to be experienced emotionally.
I let my instinct speak, to lead the way.
Beauty is key to everything.
What I create with my gut works, what I create with my mind rarely does”

Is the global agriculture system on the verge of a new green revolution? If we need to sustainably feed up to 10 billion, despite the ravages of climate, a revolution is required. BloombergNEF has launched a new research stream on this: the transition for Agriculture to become nature positive, carbon neutral and achieve the required volumes.Addressing the overuse of land, water, fertilizers and pesticides is the first priority, then reducing carbon and scaling up. Bloomberg proposes 5 Pillars including sustainable foods, sustainable intensification, green chemicals, carbon-smart farming and restoration and the protection of natural capital. https://about.bnef.com/blog/sustainable-agriculture-is-the-new-green-revolution/
The Deep-Shot Converter is used to combine photos
with wide shooting angles and others with deep zoom into single images with an
exponential pixel grid. It combines, increasing one picture’s impact, and at the
same time saves memory. As most of today’s photographs will never be
printed, their digital features become more important. There are basically two
types of images, raster-based images following rows and columns and vector
images, based on coloured lines and forms. Deep-Shots combine the advantages of
both by using an exponentially growing net structure.For more information and to get the software, visit the website:https://www.deep-shot.com
A new type of fire-resistant cladding, developed by RMIT University researchers and using 83 per cent recycled glass, is currently being commercialised.Results of the long-running project are being patented by Livefield and heading towards manufacture, according to a statement from the university.The solution – panels of which have been installed at RMIT’s Bundoora campus (pictured) – uses recycled glass, plus plastic binders and fire-retardant materials.The cladding overcomes previous issues of brittleness attached to glass-based claddings, and has met the key AS1530.1 standard for non-combustibility, said research lead Associate Professor Dilan Robert.More information here:https://www.aumanufacturing.com.au/recycled-glass-based-cladding-nears-manufacture
