The Wristwatch Looks For a New Use 

1
Last year while writing about students entering their first year of college I made an interesting observation: these newly commissioned freshmen don’t use wristwatches. In fact, the wristwatch is so alien to this group of late teens that even the mere action of pointing to a wrist to ask someone the time is akin to speaking an unfamiliar foreign language. (They use mobile phones and laptops to tell the time.)
2
Equipped with this knowledge, we could be led to believe that the wristwatch’s time is almost up and that this piece of technology is destined for the same graveyard as vinyl records or the horse-drawn carriage.
3
Not so fast. A number of companies are hoping to offer a new product that can take over the real estate of the wrist, and although these devices can tell the time, they can also go above and beyond the old stem winder your grandfather likely owned.
4
One watch that recently caused a lot of excitement online was the TikTok, a watch that uses an MP3 player as its internals. People seemed to flock to this device because of its slick design, and of course because it had a little fashionable logo on the back.
5 
Another watch that is currently being tested, called the Allerta inPulse, acts more like a computer than a timepiece. This device is different because its creators hope programmers and developers will “hack” the watch, creating new applications or uses for it. The Allerta is expected to cost $150.
6
Eric Migicovsky, chief operating officer of Allerta, the maker of the new watch, said in an e-mail that he hopes people will use the device as an extension to their mobile phones, where the watch can offer a third screen of information without someone having to fumble for their phone in their pocket or purse.
7 
Mr. Migicovsky said that installing apps on the new watch will be a simple process. “It’s possible to get up and run with inPulse within five minutes,” he said, noting that you don’t need to be a programmer or developer to take advantage of the apps on the watch, but watch owners will have to rely on this community to build new applications.
8 
Some programmers are already using the new Allerta. One app offers the ability to control a music library from this watch. Another becomes an extension of a smartphone and shows new e-mail messages and calendars on the phone through the watch’s display. And finally, a programmer recreated the popular videogame Doom to be played on this new gadget.

Artist uses DNA to recreate live replica of van Gogh's ear

Artista usa DNA para recriar réplica viva da orelha de Van Gogh

Many know Vincent van Gogh as a brilliant impressionist painter, whose many works are displayed in museums across the world. Van Gogh has also come to embody the quintessential tortured creative genius — notorious for cutting off his left ear in a fit of madness in 1888.

Muitos conhecem Vincent van Gogh como um pintor impressionista brilhante, cujas muitas obras são exibidas em museus em todo o mundo. Van Gogh também veio encarnar o gênio criativo torturado quintessencial - notório por cortar sua orelha esquerda em um ataque de loucura em 1888.
A different museum exhibition showcases the anguished creativity of van Gogh in a far more unusual way: currently a recreation of van Gogh’s left ear is on display at The Center for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Uma exposição de museu diferente mostra a criatividade angustiada de van Gogh de uma forma muito mais incomum: atualmente uma recriação da orelha esquerda de van Gogh está em exposição no Centro de Arte e Mídia em Karlsruhe, Alemanha.
Artist Diemut Strebe used cells from the great-great grandson of van Gogh’s brother, Theo, and other DNA to construct a living replica of the ear. The ear was created using a 3D-printer and was grown in Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital, she explains. It is currently being kept alive inside a case full of nourishing fluids, according to the Associated Press, and could “theoretically last for years.”
O artista Diemut Strebe usou células do tataraneto do irmão de van Gogh, Theo, e outro DNA para construir uma réplica viva da orelha. A orelha foi criada usando uma impressora 3D e cultivada no Hospital Brigham and Women's de Boston, explica ela. Atualmente, ele está sendo mantido vivo dentro de uma caixa cheia de fluidos nutritivos, de acordo com a Associated Press, e pode “teoricamente durar anos”.
Vincent van Gogh’s descendant, Lieuwe van Gogh, was readily interested in the project. Also an artist, he was intrigued by the project, and willingly donated a tissue sample (cartilage) taken from behind his ear. “He liked the idea right away, so it wasn’t hard to convince him,” said Strebe. Lieuwe shares a sixteenth of Vincent’s DNA, including the Y chromosome passed down through the male line.
O descendente de Vincent van Gogh, Lieuwe van Gogh, estava prontamente interessado no projeto. Também um artista, ele ficou intrigado com o projeto, e voluntariamente doou uma amostra de tecido (cartilagem) tirada de trás de sua orelha. “Ele gostou da ideia imediatamente, então não foi difícil convencê-lo”, disse Strebe. Lieuwe compartilha um décimo sexto do DNA de Vincent, incluindo o cromossomo Y transmitido pela linhagem masculina.
The project, which is a combination of science and art, is part of the work “Sugababe,” and was first presented on May 30. As part of the exhibit, viewers can speak to the ear through a microphone. Once the sound moves through the solution of nutrients and hits the ear's artificial nerves, the words change and the sound — as the ear hears it — is then produced in an audio installation.

O projeto, que une ciência e arte, faz parte da obra “Sugababe” e foi apresentado pela primeira vez no dia 30 de maio. Como parte da mostra, o público pode falar ao ouvido por meio de um microfone. Uma vez que o som se move através da solução de nutrientes e atinge os nervos artificiais do ouvido, as palavras mudam e o som – como o ouvido o ouve – é então produzido em uma instalação de áudio.

Enchanted bike path inspired by van Gogh's 'Starry Night'

Ciclovia encantada inspirada na "Noite Estrelada" de van 

"I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell," Vincent van Gogh once said. “But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture.” It is, of course, a terrible shame van Gogh never lived to see the profound impact his art had on the world, forever transforming the way so many of us gaze upon the night sky.
"Não posso mudar o fato de os meus quadros não venderem", disse uma vez Vincent van Gogh. "Mas chegará o momento em que as pessoas reconhecerão que eles valem mais do que o valor das tintas usadas no quadro." É, naturalmente, uma pena que van Gogh não tenha vivido para ver o profundo impacto que a sua arte teve no mundo, transformando para sempre a forma como muitos de nós olhamos para o céu noturno.
Vincent van Gogh’s wildest dreams probably couldn’t prepare him, for example, for the van Gogh-Roosegaarde Bicycle Path, an enchanting living artwork newly unveiled by Studio Roosegaarde. The kilometer-long path is adorned with a special paint that charges during the day and glows after dark. It runs through the Dutch province of Noord Brabant, where van Gogh was born and raised.
Os sonhos mais loucos de Vincent van Gogh provavelmente não o poderiam preparar, por exemplo, para a Ciclovia van Gogh-Roosegaarde, uma encantadora obra de arte viva recentemente inaugurada pelo Studio Roosegaarde. A ciclovia de um quilômetro de comprimento está decorada com uma tinta especial que se carrega durante o dia e brilha depois de escurecer. A ciclovia atravessa a província holandesa de Noord Brabant, onde van Gogh nasceu e cresceu.
The amazing novelty, at the intersection of art and technology, mimics the ecstatic energy and swirling movement of van Gogh’s original. Each illuminated fleck operates like a brushstroke, adding a small yet crucial element to the whirling, unfathomable whole. “It’s a new system that is self-sufficient and practical, and just incredibly poetic,” says designer Daan Roosegaarde.
A espantosa novidade, na intersecção da arte e da tecnologia, imita a energia extática e o movimento rodopiante do original de van Gogh. Cada mancha iluminada funciona como uma pincelada, acrescentando um elemento pequeno, mas crucial, ao todo rodopiante e insondável. "É um novo sistema que é autossuficiente e prático, e incrivelmente poético", diz o designer Daan Roosegaarde.
A solar panel close by generates power to illuminate the painted surface. Some LED lights are embedded in the path as well, casting extra light especially in the case of foggy weather. The fairy tale bike path is the second of Roosegaarde’s five-part Smart Highways project, which aims to create safe and environmentally friendly road networks. The first manifestation, “Glowing Lines,” employed photo-luminescent paint to brighten the edges of the road.

Um painel solar próximo gera energia para iluminar a superfície pintada. Algumas luzes LED estão também embutidas no caminho, lançando luz extra especialmente em caso de nevoeiro. A ciclovia de conto de fadas é a segunda do projeto "Smart Highways" de Roosegaarde, composto por cinco partes, que visa criar redes rodoviárias seguras e amigas do ambiente. A primeira manifestação, "Glowing Lines", utilizou tinta fotoluminescente para iluminar as margens da estrada.

Ebooks don't spell the end of literature

E-readers pose no threat to books — quite the opposite, they may just re-kindle a generation's love for the written word

1

The other day I was on a train, reading a book. The young woman seated next to me was also reading a book. We were both enjoying classics of English literature — hers was a Charlotte Brontë novel. The only difference was that my book was made of paper, and hers of light on the screen of an e-reader.
2
Books are changing; but are the fundamentals of reading and writing? Seeing a reader gripped by digital Brontë made me aware that electronic books are giving literacy a new dimension. Many people like this new way of enjoying a book, and some may prefer it. Look at it this way: since the 1960s when transistor radios and — by the end of the decade — colour televisions transformed popular culture, every new technological advance has strengthened the appeal of the sort of media that rivals the book. Music and film, TV and video games: all have outshone books in technological glamour. Now, suddenly, here is a technological way to read a book. It’s kind of cool.
3
I don't believe this technology will destroy the printed object; real books will never lose their charm. But people who see today's new ways of reading as a threat are fantasising. Literacy has been under attack for decades, from all directions. Reading suffered its worst assault, perhaps, from television. My grandmother used to read all the time — in fact she was the village librarian — but you wouldn’t find many people in that same village today with the TV off, their heads in books. It is therefore surely arguable that e-readers are not the destroyers but the saviours of the book. A generation may return to the written word because of this technology.
