science is a measuring device

art is a survival mechanism

the jewel of science
is that it exquisetly and ever more accurately through technology measures change

art identifies salient features of the systemic contextual landscape upon which a society is based and in which a society perceives itself

science in observation of the measurable physical world arrives at consensus through peer analysis and acceptance of theory

blooms into the mediterranean
stopped at the aswan dam
hydro electric dependency
now an east nile delta region high school student
inspired by the movie an inconvenient truth makes climate change presentations to his fellow students

or maybe like the pterapod argonaut that julia whitty in her book the fragile ocean tells of
well i mean talking i w/kenly aka the river mouth radio show today
the dimensions of the place have changed over the years from age 2 to 62
definitely a bigger sand box
alot more at stake perceptually speaking data wise
59 years of a very rich life experience shared
that our children and our childrens children should have what we have had
but they will have something different to be sure climate change is coming their way

i have been contacted to give a radio interview on a program called river mouth for lbl re my art work and our actions for some near future wednesday

this is an environmentally focused radio show so details to follow

i think the various extemporaneous speeches by city council members of santa barbara in approval of lbl action slated for september would be good to include
