How much is your trash; a 4year experiment hopes to find out

June 27, 2017September 20, 2017 | Ausquerry

Antoine Repessé stopped throwing away his recyclable trash. The photographer collected his empty plastics from the toilet, old magazine, and cartons of his favourite cereals. And for four years, he accumulated waste (mostly inorganic) in his apartment; leavening him little room for living. Over the 4 year period, the Lille-based artist accumulated over 70 cubic metres of trash: 1,600 milk bottles, 4,800 toilet rolls, and 800 kg (~1,750 lb) of newspapers.

The wastes which now form most part of his art to put forward for the message for more effective, environment conscious consumption. His powerful photo series, ‘#365 Unpacked’, hopes to challenge us– the end consumers — to rethink our role in the disposal of all our waste.

“The choice of sorting the garbage gives a graphic effect. I tried to produce a perfect picture which evokes something disturbing.” the artist says.

With his series, Antoine tackles the main obstacle against the decisive directions in waste management – it’s how invisible these problems are in our day-to-day lives: “We’re often told about the quantity of waste we produce, but I think the impact of a picture can be more powerful than a ton of words,” remarks Repessé. “I hope my project can inspire change,” – and so do we.

Magnum design poster, made from little pieces of apple slices , chocolates bits and apple chops , dyed with coffee and food coloring , the latest in a series of projects for Philippines based Visual Artist and paper cutter Patrick Cabral .

The poster featured much of his present preoccupation combining his own peculiar style of kirigami ( Japanese paper cutting art form ) a little more of new experiences gained from his foray into realm of matte artistry.

To help commemorate the occasion, Magnum Philippines had tapped Patrick to help create art inspired by “Make Your Own “ Magnum’s promise of creating bespoke pleasure using various ingredients, dips and sauces.

But picking patrick was no chance. His previous works stood out. They include an on-going series on instagram ,exploring various animal form in layered papers , cut to a delicate execution and stacked to reveal a complete structure .

” I want to provide a contrast of soft materials to a predator , patrick had said “also to venture more on the endangered species in the future, and hopefully show how fragile some species are and how close they are to extinction “

Magnum opened its third Magnum Pleasure Store at SM Seaside City in Cebu, Philippines, last November .

It’s a first of its kind artwork that pushes the boundaries of paper cutting. The project took 80 hours to cut papers, 3 days to paint the layers and 1 day to add buffer between the layers so the depth will be more pronounced. Each paper color is precisely matched to a specific topping found at the Magnum Pleasure Store and represents the myriad of customized pleasures found in Magnum Cebu.

November 17, 2016November 17, 2016 | Ausquerry

High in the canopy, a young male orang-utan returns to feast on a crop of figs. Tim knew he would be back. After three days of climbing up and down himself, he hid several GoPro cameras in the canopy, triggering them remotely from the forest floor when he saw the orang-utan climbing. He had long visualised this shot, looking down on the orang-utan within its forest home.

A vital story captured in one remarkable frame by Tim Laman , a wild life photographer aiming to bring the plight of such orang-utan to more people . The story is well-known but we need outstanding photography like this to bring it across to us afresh . It touches our hearts and our minds – and just might help support actions to stop the destruction of it habitat.

Tim also captured the other part of the indonesian eco-system which cover the aquatic , terrestrial and dendritic animals lives.

Sometimes known as the gardeners of the forest, Bornean orang-utans are highly intelligent. Like humans, they exhibit culture, with different groups displaying unique behaviours and traditions. Orang-utans in Borneo have been seen using leaves as napkins to wipe their chins, building sun shades above their nests and even crafting umbrellas to stay dry in the tropical downpours.

Tim is a field biologist and wildlife photojournalist with a reputation for returning from the wild with shots of nearly impossible subjects. His pioneering research in the rainforest canopy led to a PhD from Harvard University and the first of many articles for National Geographic magazine. His work has garnered numerous awards, including many in Wildlife Photographer of the Year.

We compared the Human Eyes against other Animals. The result will shock you.

November 1, 2016November 1, 2016 | Ausquerry

Have you ever wondered what you look like in the eyes of your dog? Or even how a bee sees the world? The vision of every kind of animal on Earth is unique, and some can even see what we can’t. We at ausquerry decided to show you how different animals see the world around them. crawling the web for pictures between the way some pets see the world and us.

#1 Dogs

Dogs Human

Dogs have poor vision; their eyes aren’t sensitive to a majority of colors, and they see the world in a somewhat faded way. On the other hand, they can see very well at night. They have a well-developed sense of perspective and depth, and their eyes are more sensitive to movement.

#2 Fish

Fishes Human

Your ordinary tank-dwelling fish can see in ultraviolet, and everything in close proximity is magnified. That’s probably why so many fish look surprised all the time.

#3 Snakes

Snakes Human

Snakes generally have poor vision, but they can see thermal radiation at night ten times better than any modern infrared technology. During the day, however, they only react to movement — if their prey doesn’t move, they won’t catch it.

#4 Mice and rats

Animals Humans

Each of a mouse’s eyes moves independently, so they see two separate pictures. The world for them is blurred, slow-moving, and tinged a blue-green color.

#5 Cows

Animals Humans

For roaming cows, their pastures aren’t green but appear orange and red. But they do see everything slightly magnified.

#6 Horses

Animals Humans

A horse’s eyes are positioned on the side of its head. This helps warn them of any danger. But this also has its disadvantages: these animals never see what’s right in front of their noses.

#7 Bees

Animals Humans

Bees comprehend the world three times faster than humans do. They also see ultraviolet rays that we’re unable to.

#8 Flies

Animals Humans

Flies have faceted vision. This can be comprehended in terms of having thousands of tiny eyes that work together to create one image. They can see ultraviolet rays, and the world moves somewhat slower for them compared to humans.

#9 Sharks

Animals Humans

Underwater predators such as sharks can’t see any colors, but their vision underwater is much sharper than ours.

#10 Chameleons

Animals Humans

Chameleons are interesting creatures not only because of their appearance but also because their eyes can move independently of each other. This gives them 360º vision.

#11 Night geckos

Animals Humans

These lizards have true night vision. They can see 350 times better at night than humans can.

#12 Butterflies

Animals Humans

Butterflies are amazing insects. Their vision isn’t very sharp, but they can see many more colors and shades than human beings can, including ultraviolet light.
