CALLIGRAPHY : ABSTRACT SIGNS AND SYMBOLS SERIES



As long as I can remember, signs and symbols have always attracted my imagination and curiosity.   My first real encounter  at the age of fifteen with Pre- Columbian Art, Cave Art, Rock Art, and Aborigenal Art, sold me out and ever since I have been fascinated by their sophisticated simplicity, design, color and expresiveness. 



When  was a kid, I first got acquainted with  calligraphy thru  the beautiful neon  signs in  China- town of New York and I inmediately  loved them.  I found these signs  to be very Festive and colorful and had an impact on me visually.

                I like the contrast between hard edge and the inserts of abstract -pattern like motifs.
                 In the future I will explore this conbination further with different types of  inserts.

After the Science Wars What is a Thought Experiment, Anyhow? Chaos & An Unpredictable Tomorrow Peter Saltzstein  finds that Chaos Theory yields unexpected philosophical results. The future is not what it used to be. I mean, an intriguing implication of the branch of mathematics called  chaos theory  is that the future states of complex dynamical systems such as the weather, the human brain, the stock market, evolution, and history itself, are not what we once thought them to be. Specifically, chaos theory suggests that the behavior of complex systems can f

Solar active regions consist of strongly magnetic sunspots and surrounding regions of more diffuse magnetic field.

Solar active region as seen by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager on board the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. The dark circular regions are sunspots; these regions of strong magnetic field are dark as they are cool. The image of Earth … more Solar active regions consist of strongly magnetic sunspots and surrounding regions of more diffuse magnetic field. These regions are the origin of solar activity which controls space weather and causes beautiful phenomena such as aurora but in some cases also damage to satellites or power grids. Solar active regions are thought to be the result of magnetic flux concentrations - bundles of magnetic field lines - rising from deep in the solar interior and penetrating the surface. A team consisting of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS), The University of Göttingen, NorthWest Research Associates, and the High Altitude Observatory of the National Center for Atmospheric Research has now shown that these magnet
