A piece of art: Eadward Muybridge

 Edward James Muggeridge (what is his birth name) was an english photographer who was pioneer working on the capture of movement. On 1877, the state gaves him a plates assembly of a horse trot, and then he could make a set of continuous images which showed the amazing movement: The horse in motion.


                                      

His most appreciated instrument, which he invented on 1879, was the "zoopraxiscope". The play consists on inssert a plate (at left) over the machine (at right). Then, we have to make roll the plate, because the quickly serial of the images is the thing that gaves the effect of movement, and finally this one is proyected at backside. 

                                      

I think it was an amazing invent, a kind of "art machine". I know this since the last year, by a music video that I found driving on internet (Youtube). When I saw the video, I felt lot of interest by the serial of female subject. I put replay many times, until I get down and read the key name: Eadweard J. Muybridgde. I searched it and found it. Nice. Looking a little bit more, I could know other instrument, the "zootrope". You can search it if you want.

I think that the more that I like about this type of work was the analogous way, what requires more deddication at the moment of make a piece of art.

Here I left the music video that I talked to you. Hope u like it.





                            

A geographical feature: Zhangye Danxia

Hello bloggers, today is...i'm going to talk about... (drumroll...) a piece of art!. Yes, i know that this is the topic of the next homework, but i think that this one treats about it too. Have you heard about Zhangye Danxia? Well, this is one of the most beautiful landscapes of China, on the Gansu's province; a geological formation (a gift of the plate tectonical plus the erosion and climate factors) that exhibes marvelous colors under the sunlight. It have a lot of stratums on parallel, that shape many hills, cliffs and valleys. On this place the rain is scant (so, for this reason is the erosion). This landscape has been taking shape since 24 million years ago, and actually shows like a really beautiful monument. By the way, since 2010 Zhangye Danxia is considered as one of the World Heritage Sites, by UNESCO.
I know this place (just on photos) since i was 12 years old or less. I think that i was driving on internet and PUFF! there it was, making me feel wonder.
I can remember that when I had Facebook, a couple years ago, i put this as a cover picture, and i put on the description: "I would like to have a stronger bike that hold on until China".
Here is a picture of the place...
I hope I can see it someday and walk for its nooks
