Being Human in the System: The Art of Carlos Delgado

Carlos Delgado is a Colombian artist currently living in Toronto, Canada. His works explore a multitude of expressions and ranges of human interaction with the environment, with each other and with the societal system. Focusing on capturing the subtleties of the tension of daily routine and a deeper human expression, his work becomes not only a social commentary but also a societal reflection of how we create the world around us and our role within it.

Uncanny Sculpture by Nagato Iwasaki

Nagato Iwasaki creates sculpture from driftwood he collects from around Japan. From Spoon & Tamago:

Artist Nagato Iwasaki‘s lifelike driftwood sculptures are perfect examples of the uncanny valley — the feelings of revulsion and uneasiness one experiences from non-human objects that appear a bit too similar to real human beings.

His work is beautiful and unsettling with echoes of the dryads found in myth.  Thanks to Lost At E Minor.

From Dave Matthews Band

We are all disgusted by the acts of racist, hate-filled terrorism in our hometown this weekend. Like so many, our hearts are broken. Our thoughts go out to the families and victims of these unbelievable acts. This is not the Charlottesville we know and love. This town has grown from its sometimes great but often difficult history and is marching toward an inclusive future. This murderous act and those who incited it are not what we aspire to be. We will work tirelessly, hand-in-hand with our community to help one another so we can all heal from this sickening display of horror. Hate speech disguised as free speech is cowardly and shameful. Such speech gives permission to the murderous crimes we witnessed today. There is nothing pure, acceptable, or philosophical about Nazism, or racism masked as heritage.
