Ouah !
Grâce au bouquin de Monica Heller and Bonnie McElhinny, Language, Capitalism, Colonialism: Toward a Critical History, deux chercheuses de l'Université de Toronto, je découvre ce site merveilleux : The Decolonial Atlas.
Now there's a man who looks like he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders!
The sculpture of Atlas by James Young on the top of the Standard Buildings on Hope Street in Glasgow. They were design by James Thomson in 1889, with the top storeys added by J.B. and W.A. Thomson in 1909.
And before anyone points it out, I know in the original mythology that Atlas was condemmed to hold up the sky with his shoulders and not the Earth.
#Place has ended... but our project is just beginning! If you don't know us, we're the place #atlas (#placeatlas)! Now, an important part for us requires the help of ANYONE who wants to help.
We're a project to document every piece on the r/place canvas. With a wiki, atlas, and following our motto "We document as it is, not how we want it to be". Our documentation efforts include policing the arguments between edits and contributions.
Following the proof, facts, and widely known information about #artworks. The most common mistake people make is not knowing we have both the #wiki and #atlas. So now we're making PR efforts to have the project widely known across every form of #media we can find.
How can you #help?
Spread the #atlas as far as your communities can reach, make people aware that we exist, and tell them about our #documentation efforts with the entire #community of #r/place
Share our Reddit post free karma. Use it to display the art that you've worked to protect!
And most of all, document the event as it happened within your community. This is what powers the atlas, it's what allowed us to serve the community with our #platform and we hope to do so for many more years.
Comet C/2023 E1 ATLAS is currently swinging by the inner solar system and is at its brightest around magnitude 9, visible in the northern sky using telescopes.
This image was captured on July 9, few days after Perihelion on July 1, by Austria-based comet hunter and astrophotographer Dan Bartlett.
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) is an asteroid early warning system developed by the Univ of Hawaii and funded by NASA. It consists of four 0.5-meter f/2 Wright-Schmidt telescopes (Hawaii ×2, Chile, South Africa), which automatically scan the whole sky several times every night looking for moving objects.
FOV: 7.4°
Detector: 10 Mpixel CCD
Exposure time: 30 sec
Scan: 25% of the sky 4 times per night.
And away we go! My Stripe account is fully setup, and just received its first $10 test payment. A few days from now, it should payout to my Mercury bank account, and then I will legitimately be able to charge USD globally.
A wonderfully expressive crouching Atlantid carved by George Frampton on J.J. Burnet's 1890s Banking Hall on Ingram Street in Glasgow. This poor fellow really looks like he's got the whole weight of the building on his shoulders.
