Platform 2015 - PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE PROLIFERATION OF IMAGES: LOST IN THE LAND OF NOWHERE? (EN).fromParis PhotoonVimeo.
[AUDIO] Photographic images have proliferated in recent times more than they ever did - due to the Internet, and new technological devices. Has it changed the very nature of the photographical fact?
A conversation with:
Donatien GRAU, Kieran LONG (Senior Curator, Victoria & Albert Museum), Tom McCARTHY (Writer, Artist) and Oliviero TOSCANI (Photographer) at Grand Palais, Paris as part of the Paris Photo 2015 Program.

More plant oddities! Part 3
This has probably become my favourite series, it takes time to find new material for these posts but I hope it’s worth the wait!
- 10-tepalled Fritillaria michailovskyi, they generally have 6 tepals
- Non-variegated Arabis ‘Rose Delight’ sporting bright yellow variegation
- Hybrid Primula of the polyanthus group with only one oddly pigmented flower
- 8-petalled Cyclamen hybrid, surpassing the 7-petalled one from episode 2
- Hybrid pansy with the regular 5 petals, but forming two distinct flowers with their own sexual organs
- Hybrid Cylamen sporting a beautiful example of chimerism
- Celosia cristata sporting proliferation on top of the fasciation it has been selected for
Check the equally odd Part 1&Part 2 and stay tuned for the next episode!

China in 1982 made a policy decision to flood the developing world with atomic know-how. Its clients include Algeria, Pakistan, and North Korea. One of China’s bombs was created as an “export design” that nearly “anybody could build.” The blueprint for the simple plan has traveled from Pakistan to Libya and Iran. … Why did Beijing spread its atomic knowledge so freely? In The Nuclear Express: A Political History of the Bomb and Its Proliferation, authors Thomas C. Reed and Danny B. Stillman speculate that it either wanted to strengthen the enemies of China’s enemies – for instance, Pakistan as a counterweight to India – or to encourage nuclear wars or terror in foreign lands from which Beijing would emerge as the “last man standing.” [Hidden Travels of the Atomic Bomb, by William J. Broad, review of The Nuclear ExpressandThe Bomb: A New History, in the New York Times]
