“Take-Away Shrine” for Design Trust: Critically Homemade / JJ ACUNA in Collaboration with Francis Kirstein in Fibreglass and Metal Mock-Up /
250x300mm
- - - - -
In these challenging times, being at home creates the opportunity to actively centre oneself internally. For JJ Acuna, this opportunity has realised itself in the collecting of rocks and crystals from all over, amassing a robust selection of objects to be brought out and celebrated with his “Take-Away Shrine".
A play on the idea of “Take-Away” meals, this project creates the possibility of taking one’s collections anywhere when allowed to leave their homes, and still actively centre themselves - perhaps necessary to survive this new reality, where social distancing measures turn going out into a bizarrely solitary experience inside and out. The “Take-Away Shrine” allows users to celebrate objects collected, and provides an immediate platform on which they can display these objects and centre themselves with a moment's peace at alone home or on a socially-distanced hike.

""While we expect to find many significant rocks during both Mars 2020 and ExoMars missions, we also have to leave open the possibility we could find one or more very special rocks, the kind whose discovery would not only speak volumes about the history of Mars but contribute significantly to the discussion of life elsewhere in the universe," said Ken Farley, Mars 2020 project scientist at Caltech in Pasadena.Guided by Martin Van Kranendonk, director of the Australian Centre for Astrobiology at the University of New South Wales, members of the two missions' science teams went on an expedition to northwestern Australia's Pilbara region to analyze, discuss and debate stromatolites — structures preserved in rock that formed in water on early Earth and contain a fossilized record of ancient microbial life. Among the science teams' stops: a stromatolite cluster in a grouping of rock called the Dresser Formation that contains some of the oldest known fossilized records of life on our world."

今晚的香港需要更多關注,到底為什麼這個城市的居民得承受這麼多苦痛。
裝甲車、催淚彈、橡膠子彈等武器進入香港理工大學校園,目前校園內的大批救護員及醫生被捕,所有通往理工大學的路線完全被封鎖,除了持有記者證的記者允許離開之外,其他人都被困在校園內,但仍有許多勇敢記者堅守現場,為外界帶來第一手消息。
