Futurism is already here

Posted: at 8:40 am

The multidisciplinary work of Italian painter, sculptor, set designer, writer and designer Fortunato Depero (1892-1960) has never before been exhibited in Spain. But now, Fundacin Catalunya La Pedrera has brought together 200 pieces, the majority of them faithful to Futurism up until 1930, when he returned to Italy after two years in New York, "the Futurist metropolis par excellence."

According to the exhibition's curator, Antonio Pizza, Depero was the artist who best personified the Futurism movement. He and his fellow Futurists, who included such intellectuals and artists as Umberto Boccioni, Gino Severini, Antonio Sant'Elia, Giacomo Balla and, especially, poet and playwright Filippo Tommaso Marinetti - who founded the movement with the manifesto he published on the front page of Le Figaro in 1909 - adored machines, energy and speed and advocated radically doing away with everything from the past. In 1915 Depero and Balla published their Futurist Reconstruction of the Universe where they optimistically anticipated the radical metamorphosis of art in which the esthetic was filled with dynamism and speed, but also an anthropological project that would change social structures in keeping with the new industrial era.

Their works broke traditional ways of thinking. The paintings burst out of the frames, as in Severini's Plastic Rhythm of the 14th of July; and neither did film, fashion, theater, music, dance, advertising, design escape the new Futurist vision. Perhaps Depero's best-known work is his bottle design for Campari soda, but the rest of his oeuvre remains unknown to the general public. On show here are his designs for furniture for bars, restaurants and homes, and dressing rooms, such as the one he devised for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. There are also his architectural projects, such as his plastic book pavilions or the Casa d'Arte Futurista he built in Rovereto, and toys and puppets.

Choosing not to focus on a high-profile personality who would guarantee long lines makes the show a risky bet. But it is a glimpse of things to come. According to Fundacin La Pedrera culture director Marga Viza, the Guggenheims in Bilbao and New York, as well as "a renowned cultural institution" in Madrid, are already planning Futurism exhibitions.

China Plans to Launch First Orbiting Space Station in 2023

Posted: at 11:42 am

China has announced that it will launch its first orbiting space station 10 years from now, Sept. 26, 2013.

China plans to launch its first orbiting Space Station by 2023, officials announced at the 64th International Astronautical Congress that began Sept. 23 in Beijing.

The station itself will consist of three capsules. One capsule contains a core module while the other two contain laboratories. The space station will also be equipped with a cargo craft to ferry supplies to and from the station. The core module alone is expected to weigh at least 20 metric tons.

The space station is expected to hold six individuals for short-term missions and three for lengthier ones.

Xu Dazhe, general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told the BBC that his company's primary effort will be to research and develop improved orbit refueling technologies and sustainable life support.

Xu told reporters that China will launch Tiangong-2 in two years, in preparation for the launch of the space station. Tiangong-2 will act as a trial capsule allowing China's team to adjust and experiment with the technologies the space station will require.

Once the space station is functioning and ready for orbit, the Chinese plan to use it to collect data on technical tests that require long-term orbits into space.

China's first female astronaut, Liu Yang, told the IAF that China would welcome foreign astronauts for possible missions in the future. Some say this is a huge step toward partnership and unity in an industry that has sustained considerable competition on a global scale.

China aims for space station by 2023

Posted: at 11:42 am

26 September 2013 Last updated at 08:39 ET By Clive Simpson Beijing

China expects to complete its first orbiting space station within a decade.

The station, in low-Earth orbit, will be able to support six crew on short-term missions and three for long-term stays.

Its design consists of three capsules - a core module attached to two laboratories - with a cargo vessel to transport supplies.

The 2023 launch target was revealed at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Beijing.

According to the China Manned Space Agency, the space station will cover an area of 60 sq m.

Its core module (18.1m long) will weigh 20 to 22 metric tonnes and will be attached to two self-contained labs.

Once operational, astronauts would be able to make long-term missions in orbit and conduct technical tests and science experiments, said Wang Zhaoyao, the director of the space agency.

But before all this, China must first test technologies in renewable life support and in-orbit refuelling.

Genetic engineering course wins Science magazine prize

Posted: at 11:42 am

Public release date: 26-Sep-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

Contact: Natasha Pinol npinol@aaas.org 202-326-6440 American Association for the Advancement of Science

Biology students at the University of Minnesota take a course in their very first semester in which they propose their own gene-based solution to a problem. Among the projects they have worked on was a camouflage military suit that could change color through the use of a gene that allows an octopus to camouflage itselfa technology that happened to be developed by the U.S. military a few years later.

"We've got these undergrads who propose amazingly practical, valuable, doable and sophisticated projects," Sue Wick, director of biology major undergraduate studies at the University of Minnesota and one of four professors there who developed the course.

Because of its effectiveness at teaching undergraduates how to think like professional biologists, the Genetic Engineering Proposal curriculum module has been chosen to receive the Science Prize for Inquiry-Based Instruction.

The Science Prize for Inquiry-Based Instruction (IBI) was developed to showcase outstanding materials, usable in a wide range of schools and settings, for teaching introductory science courses at the college level. The materials must be designed to encourage students' natural curiosity about how the world works, rather than to deliver facts and principles about what scientists have already discovered. Organized as one free-standing "module," the materials should offer real understanding of the nature of science, as well as provide an experience in generating and evaluating scientific evidence. Each month, Science publishes an essay by a recipient of the award, which explains the winning project. The essay about the Genetic Engineering Proposal, written by course co-creators Wick, Mark Decker, David Matthes and Robin Wright, will be published on September 27.

"We want to recognize innovators in science education, as well as the institutions that support them," says Bruce Alberts, editor-in-chief emeritus of Science. "At the same time, this competition will promote those inquiry-based laboratory modules with the most potential to benefit science students and teachers. The publication of an essay in Science on each winning module will encourage more college teachers to use these outstanding resources, thereby promoting science literacy."

From its inception, the Genetic Engineering Proposal course module has applied one main principle: that students should do biology, rather than just read about it. This idea was familiar to Wick, even when she was taking high school biology at her Milwaukee, Wisc., all-girls high school. Her teacher, a former medical technologist, made sure her students' science education was inquiry-based.

"There was inquiry, the idea of exploring, that we didn't know everything, that there were still so many things to discover, to explore and find out about," Wick says.

With her teacher's encouragement, Wick participated in a National Science Foundation summer high school program, took Advanced Placement biology, and ultimately went on to earn a PhD in the biological sciences.
