Stuart Campbell is an Australian artist using art and technology to tell stories. Think, among other things, AR, and VR comics. This feels so much like the future. We are still tethered to using a phone as a viewport for this type of art, but a truly vaiable, wearable solution can’t be far off. A descendent of 3D glasses, but on a larger and more integrated scale. I mean at some point it will all be mechanically instantiated in our DNA at birth, but until then this is an excellent example that shows the possibilities of AR/VR as artform.
Monday Bread 9Mar20
I’ve been pushing the percentage of freshly milled whole wheat lately. 50% fresh milled wheat berries, half hard red (GLENN), half hard white (Colorado Windy Wheat). I pushed the hydration to 85% because all that whole wheat is gonna be thirsty, and also to keep the crumb tender.
998g milled wheat berries
994g King Arthur organic bread flour
16g malted barley flour
1683g water
50g salt
6 hour bulk rise
Forgot to count folds :-/
13 hours cold retard at 38 degrees

Wow, this is beautiful. I hope your day is off to a good start.
The city is made up of much life, light.
There is loneliness in the city where self-existence is buried.
However, it also feels bright and lively.
Each light affects the activities of the city, and the city is transformed by a lot of light.
