WHAT IVE BEEN DOING

Elizabeth Neel, Stand (After Guernica), 2004
Video
Dimensions variable

Elizabeth Neel’s ghostly Stand (After Guernica) loops a few seconds of what looks like grainy surveillance video on a small monitor—a clip of a horse attempting to stand up. Due to Neel’s editing, the creature will forever try to do so. Time collapses; the loop feels either very short or very long, and either impression seems appropriate. In effect, Stand (After Guernica) functions like a single image—a wildly beautiful painting—though unlike any by Picasso, making the title feel like an academic afterthought. The most shocking aspect of the work is how fragile this creature looks as it wobbles in its attempt to stand. One feels the weight of technology—in this case the heavy hand of the artist/editor—bearing down on the animal. Its image is trapped, isolated from a natural landscape and context, forced into what we read as a painful, repetitive action that borders on abuse. Stand (After Guernica) suggests that the distance video creates between its subject and audience operates as a form of dominance.

I know how easy it is NOT to watch

Human Embryo (7th week of pregnancy, 5th week p.o.)

This photo of an opened oviduct with an ectopic pregnancy features a spectacularly well preserved 10-millimeter embryo. It is uncommon to see any embryo at all in an ectopic, and for one to be this well preserved (and undisturbed by the prosector's knife) is quite unusual.

Even an embryo this tiny shows very distinct anatomic features, including tail, limb buds, heart (which actually protrudes from the chest), eye cups, cornea/lens, brain, and prominent segmentation into somites. The gestational sac is surrounded by a myriad of chorionic villi resembling elongated party balloons. This embryo is about five weeks old (or seven weeks in the biologically misleading but eminently practical dating system used in obstetrics).

The photo was taken on Kodak Elite 200 slide film, with a Minolta X-370 camera and 100mm f/4 Rokkor bellows lens at near-full extension. The formalin-fixed specimen was immersed in tap-water and pinned to a tray lined with black velvet. The exposure was 1/4 second at f/8.

Favre manages to skip camp -- and still get in
August 18, 2009 11:56 AM
Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The rumors started spreading early Tuesday morning as I was watching Detroit go through a two-hour practice: A private airplane was in Hattiesburg, Miss., waiting to take Brett Favre to Minnesota. I checked in with a few trustworthy people, and their tight-lipped reactions suggested that an event we have considered inevitable at times and impossible at others will become reality.


Favre
So here is my unqualified reaction: Call it the three B's. What a Blatant, Brazen and Brilliant ploy to skip training camp and still be given the reins to a Super Bowl-caliber team.

I suppose it's possible that Favre and the Vikings will provide an alternative explanation for why the quarterback suddenly agreed to sign only a few days after the team broke camp in Mankato, Minn. Perhaps his body is feeling stronger. Or his shoulder is feeling better. Or he suddenly had an epiphany that it was truly now or never.

But no matter what he or the Vikings might say at his introductory news conference, it sure seems evident that Favre has always wanted to play for the Vikings -- but was unwilling to spend even two weeks in a dormitory at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

I thought the Vikings might draw a line at that point, especially given their unequivocal statements that Favre had missed his chance. But ultimately, coach Brad Childress has always known that Favre provided a better option than either Sage Rosenfels or Tarvaris Jackson.

Neither quarterback offered any reason to think differently during training camp. Rosenfels was sharp in the preseason opener at Indianapolis, but he has now missed two days of practice with an ankle injury and had been inconsistent overall in practice.

We'll have much more as the day progresses, but if you want my initial reaction, that's it.
