Hearts
All Around my feet
Don’t you ever sweep the street
If they still can keep a beat
Hands
Holding other hands
I’m a girl and you’re a man
Do you know what’s moving me
One night
A meteor
Came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night
A shooting star
He traveled far
Just to ask me to dance
Arms
Give away your need
Tie them up and around me
And play me as you please
Dance
Nothing left to spare
Fill it up with all your air
You’re the one I want to see
One night
A meteor
Came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night
A shooting star
He traveled far
Just to ask me to dance
One night
A meteor
Came to my door
And he asked me to dance
One night
A shooting star
He traveled far
Just to ask me to dance
The Bird and the Bee. Listen to track 7 called Meteor on their album Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future
RE:reding “3D thinkers in a 2D world”
Benedict Phillips as the RE:red DIV
3D Thinkers in a 2D World is a performance lecture by artist Benedict Phillips as the new “RE:red” DIV, created for isea2009 (International Symposium on Electronic Art) in Belfast. Developed in response to his 14 years of research within dyslexia, it aims to expose the inner workings of what he describes as the dyslexic ‘3D thinking’ experience. It also presents some of the unusual advantages available to those who think in a “dyslexic” way.
By unpicking his creations such as “The DIV” (subverted from “div” which in the UK slang means ‘an idiot’ or ‘stupid’ to ‘DIV’ or “Dyslexic Intelligent Vision”) Benedict highlights and examines presumptions about intelligence, communication and perception. He plots an emotive course to illustrate and unravel the numerous misconceptions surrounding dyslexia.
Rather than focusing on reading and writing, Benedict explores the unforgiving rigidity of formulae and social structures within the 2D ‘lexic’ world. This lecture offers insight into how to invert society’s perception of dyslexia and, through breaking excepted rules, to empower the lexic and dyslexic alike.
Giant asteroid set to narrowly miss Earth
A giant asteroid will only just miss earth later this year, according to NASA.
The huge rock, dubbed YU55, will pass within 201,700 miles of our planet in November.
If it crashes into earth the impact would be equivalent to 65,000 atomic bombs, while the crater would be six miles wide and 2,000 ft deep.
The asteroid, which weighs 55 million tons and is 1,300ft wide, will be the largest ever object to get so close to our planet. It orbits the sun every 14 months.
It will be closer to us than the moon, which is on average 238,855 miles away and will be visible through a small telescope.
The best times to view it will be between 23:28 on 8 November and 07:13 on 9 November (UK time).
According to NASA spokesman Dave Yeomans, there is no chance YU55 will crash into earth… for the time being. He said in statement: “YU55 poses no threat of an Earth collision over, at the very least, the next 100 years.”
He added: “During its closest approach, its gravitational effect on the Earth will be so minuscule as to be immeasurable. It will not affect the tides or anything else.”
Nonetheless, it has been officially labeled a ‘potentially hazardous object’ by the space agency.
YU55 was discovered by Robert McMillan, head of the NASA-funded Spacewatch Program at the University of Arizona in 2005, but it’s not the only ‘near-earth object’ they are monitoring.
NASA are also keeping tabs on WN5, an asteroid that will pass the planet in 2028, and ‘99942 Apophis’, a celestial body measuring 1,200 ft which could zoom past us on April 13 2036.
They also believe an even bigger asteroid has a one-in-a-thousand chance of colliding with earth in 2182.
