TH.2058. Scary?

Dominique Gonzales-Foerster's version of the future of London: giant animals, eternal rain and the futuristic shelter filled with bunk beds displaying sci-fi books. To me, it looks like something made 50 years ago predicting the world today.

Telectroscope

Giant telescope connecting London and New York, near Tower Bridge

"When the sun illuminated the lens of the Telectroscope next to the Thames, it was, of course, still nighttime in New York. So the screen inside the scope broadcast back only an empty sidewalk silently framed by the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline.

But then something miraculous occurred.

A police officer and a street cleaner walked into the frame. Stopped. And waved.

The Telectroscope will be on display and open to the public 24 hours a day in London and New York until June 15. Artichoke is arranging requests to synchronize special reunions between friends and family or, the company hopes, maybe even a marriage proposal."

Shibboleth

Cracking art!

This 167-metre long crack in the floor of Tate Modern's Turbine Hall is not a work of 'cowboy builders' but rather an unusual creation of Colombian artist Doris Salcedo. It represents racial hatred and divisions within society.

Opened seven weeks ago, it claimed 15 victims already, due to the width of the crack that is in some places big enough for a foot or a small child to fall inside.

Tate Modern is currently considering extra measures to prevent potential injuries in the future. Exhibition closes on 6th of April next year.
