Another fantastic 4K time lapse showing how Earthcam can document your infrastructure and transportation projects. Reach out to me about how we can help on your next project!
Watch F.H. Paschen's complete construction of Damen Station, a rapid transit station on the Chicago "L"'s Green Line. For over a year, EarthCam documented the project, which fills a 1.5-mile service gap between Ashland and California stops, restoring rail service to the neighborhood for the first time since the original station was closed at the location in 1948. Designed by the architectural firm Perkins&Will, the $80-million station features a double-height main entrance, an artistic mural, and an elevated bridge. EarthCam captured tens of thousands of images to create this 4K time-lapse.

Public art is transforming the urban landscape, offering more than just visual appeal. Developers across the country are integrating vibrant artworks into their projects, and it's making a significant impact. Art in real estate projects has become a powerful tool for increasing foot traffic and engagement. For example, murals in commercial areas have been shown to boost visitor numbers by up to 43%. Art has become a strategic asset in real estate, blending culture and commerce in a way that benefits both communities and businesses. #UrbanArt #CommercialRealEstate

Gautana is blending a portrait photography, architectural imagery, and historical references. The central figure in the portrait is holding a powerful, self-assured person who represents a connection between identity, culture, and history. The architectural elements suggest a setting that could range from colonial to modern urban environments, possibly reflecting themes of heritage, legacy, and the passage of time. The juxtaposition of old and new architecture, alongside images that evoke a sense of history (like the African Time clock and vintage photographs), in suggesting a dialogue between past and present. The use of sepia tones ties the elements together, adding a nostalgic or historical lens to the image. I am exploring themes of identity, memory, and the intersection between personal and collective histories within urban environments. I am also commenting on the resilience and evolution of cultural identities in the face of modernity and historical shifts.

The Dream Machine - 8416 #AIArt Prompt: Create a pixel art scene that captures the essence of a historical setting. The imagery should resonate with a sense of romance, perhaps with a couple strolling arm in arm along cobblestone streets or meeting under a gaslit lamppost. The environment should be detailed, with carefully rendered buildings and natural elements. The architecture and clothing should reflect a previous era of history, such as the Victorian period or the Renaissance. Please also incorporate details such as horse-drawn carriages, old-fashioned street signs, or other elements characteristic of the time period portrayed.

The laser-lifted gaseous carbon aggregates and their re-assembly into C60 and C70 are excellent observations by prepared minds of the three: @Robert Curl, @Harold Kroto, and @Richard Smalley. Recently, I came across an article by Maria Isabel Sierra-Trillo et al. I've also included below. Please read if you have time: https://lnkd.in/gWkuZ_AX
Carbon is an element that can assume a number of different forms. In nature, for example, it can be found as graphite or diamonds. In 1985, Robert Curl, Harold Kroto and Richard Smalley discovered a brand new form - the fullerene. Curl, Kroto and Smalley irradiated a surface of graphite with laser pulses so that carbon gas was formed. When the gas condensed, previously unknown structures with 60 and 70 carbon atoms were formed. The most common structure had 60 carbon atoms arranged in a sphere with five and six edges - also known as a buckyball, the shape resembles a football. The structures were called fullerenes in honour of architect Buckminster Fuller, who worked with this geometric shape.
