Hydrological Institute "Wilhelm Reich" with Experimental Medium Scale Water Dam

This drawing of the Hydrological Institute "Wilhelm Reich" (alternatively named "Viktor Schauberger" for those with slightly holistic, politically questionable leanings towards "natural" solutions in relation to the "cosmos") was especially difficult to reproduce; as pencil grey on on a dark kind of orange provides for a very unsatisfactory dynamic range, which is also why highlights were added somewhat roughly with pastel and Chinese white. The imaginary institute is situated on a pass inspired by the Tizi-n-Test pass, halfway to the summit of a rocky precipice presumed to be in the Atlas region of Morocco, which should be considered roughly the center of the projected continent of Eufrica (or Afropa, according to some). Below in the valley is a reservoir and dam for water-flow simulations, scale 1/6 in relation to a real world water dam in the planning stage, which is supposed to have an energy loss coefficient of an A+++/excellent 0.2 W/m2-K. Schauberger's teaching of the inner tendencies of an oxidized and healthily dynamic water flow will be observed to the T. The head loss coefficient (T) is calculated as the ratio of the manometric head difference between the input and output of the fitting to the velocity head and will be negative for the enlargement. The loss coefficient for the gate valve may then be calculated by using a rather complicated equation not to be specified here.

As it wants

To the light.

But -

As people do in politics,

It prefers left to right."

Chinese Landscape with Water Flow Research Institute

Chinese Landscape with Water Flow Research Institute, oil on ready-to-use “Stylex” canvas w/ stretcher, 30×40 cm The ancient art of Chinese Landscape Painting aims for an air of universal completeness and peace, materializing the desire for the Chinese Empire to reign eternally and timelessly. A painting is not complete if it does not bring together the hard, the fluid, the gaseous: rock (the mineral world), water, sky (air, fog). Living organisms are either part and fixed outgrowth of the solid, mineral world, i.e plants, lichens, sponges; or transient, animal or human, which are few and far between. Water is the element that flows through the image, from top to bottom, uniting all, making all into one. Never is there harsh light coming from one point, creating light and shadow. Perspective is of the aerial type, which means things in the distance are lighter in tone, as they reach through fog, fine mists, wafting between them and the onlooker. While this type of painting i...

Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy

Look at a brutalist office edifice with sustainable cooling scheme, dedicated to the established best practice of social work and the prevention of social disintegration by all forms of deviancy, including chronic fatigue. The Three Strategies of Huang Shigong (Pencil, colored pencil, acrylics on paper, 65 x 50 cm) Antitransgressive prevent strategy has three specific objectives: respond to the ideological challenge of deviancy and the threat we face from those who promote it, prevent people from being drawn into deviancy and ensure they are given appropriate advice and support, work with sectors and institutions where there are risks of radicalisation (hot spots, suburban abandoned areas, et al.) See how the sculptures of three modes of transportation - (steam powered, bodily propulsion by legs, petrol based motorized solution) are forming an allegory of adaptability and the value of "getting out of the comfort zone", to achieve better social results which will all eventua...

The Nudist Pilates Practitioner

This drawing is the recreation of a drawing from 30 years ago. That drawing was nearly identical in composition, but the figure was fully dressed. While the original could not be recovered, a photocopy still existed, begging in its inferior documentary value for the undertaking of making a new drawing, a handmade copy of the remembered original, coming as close as possible or even surpassing its original splendour. Way to Work, 9.1 x 12.6 inches, pencil on yellow carton, 2022 The original clothing of the depicted person was first executed, then, by means of an eraser, removed again, and the nude body reconstructed, to achieve something of an Helmut-Newton effect, with a hint of irony perhaps, as the depicted person is not really the preferred Newton body-type. In hindsight the vision of a true unisex fashion in the original drawing should have been preserved, as it is less exploitative, more tasteful. Of course, nudism comes as close as possible to true gender equality, disregarding ho...
