“And you know, the fact is, nobody knew that they were prosthetic legs. They were the star of the show - these wooden boots peeking out from under this raffia dress - but in fact, they were actually legs made for me.”

Architect Vincent Callebaut designed Lilypads to be self-sufficient floating cities that can each accommodate up to 50,000 climate change refugees. Inspired by the shape of Victoria water lilies, these eco-cities would be made of polyester fibers and built around a central lagoon, and they would feature three mountains and marinas — dedicated to work, shopping and entertainment. Aquaculture farms and suspended gardens would be located below the water line, and the cities would run completely on renewable energy. Callebaut plans for his Lilypad concept to become a reality in 2100.
10 innovative ideas that let us live on water

I am always fascinated by sustainable innovation, but I must say I harbor some fear of humans migrating to the ocean. Humans have a legacy of destroying most things they touch and we’ve already ruined so much of the ocean, I am fearful of what our presence would do in the long run. Hopefully by then we will have learned some lessons :S

Does anyone ever wonder who is going to pay to build all this infrastructure? I hardly believe any government would adopt such a project when most of this country’s cities can’t/won’t repair their own infrastructure or provide basic services to their inhabitants.

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.

I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

I wish that I had let myself be happier.

unconsumption:

Artist Guy Laramee sculpts incredible detailed landscapes by carving into old books.

So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are.

Stress by Yoan Capote

“Stress” depicts the constant metaphorical weight we feel in our daily lives, in this case under very real weight of 17 tons of concrete, compacting the molds of several people’s actual toofs. It looks like this sculpture may need a mouth guard.
