Quicksand - transparent

Lyrics:

Treating your days like a countdown. Seconds pass by, waiting just to blow up, and you get nothing done, and this is what you want. Lost touch and, you turn your back and your some friend. Sterile conversation, learn to talk a good game. Talk your way out, it’s a sure thing. Testing the ends of what they’ll put up with. You got your chance to say what you wanted to. But you never do, stand up to the ones that keep you down, now you can see right through it all. Lost touch and, tracing your steps you can’t begin. You can’t start, to say what your thinking and why not. Talk your way out, it’s a sure thing. Testing the ends of what they’ll put up with. Sticking it out ‘til you can’t get up. How many times have you been pacified? Accepting it when you’re told, there’s no way, making sure there never will. Sticking it out ‘til you can’t get up. How many times have you been pacified? Accepting it when you’re told, there’s no way, making sure there never will. Testing the ends of what they put up with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWu7xmqHckA

the difference between public space and intimity

we can divide the world in two space, the space of intimity and the space of the public. Around of these words people develop artifact with specific features.

For that we use transparent material or opaque material to define our space of live.

Transparent artifact allow to see trough so the space of the intimity is invaded, like a window in a house, where people can see what happen inside and on the contrary i can see what is happening in the world.

Opaque materials instead are used to define closed spaces where there is no sharing of information.

During the passing of the time items sometimes chenged they character for a best usability or adapting to human need

if the trojan horse were transparent, what would will be happened???

from the movie troy

The Trojan Horse is a tale from the Trojan War, as told in Virgil's Latin epic poem The Aeneid and by Quintus of Smyrna. The events in this story from the Bronze Age took place after Homer's Iliad, and before his Odyssey. It was the stratagem that allowed the Greeks finally to enter the city of Troy and end the conflict. In one version, after a fruitless 10-year siege, the Greeks constructed a huge wooden horse, and hid a select force of 30 men inside. The Greeks pretended to sail away, and the Trojans pulled the horse into their city as a victory trophy. That night the Greek force crept out of the horse and opened the gates for the rest of the Greek army, which had sailed back under cover of night. The Greek army entered and destroyed the city of Troy, decisively ending the war.

fairy tale The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

A Wolf found great difficulty in getting at the sheep

owing to the vigilance of the shepherd and his dogs. But

one day it found the skin of a sheep that had been flayed

and thrown aside, so it put it on over its own pelt and

strolled down among the sheep. The Lamb that belonged

to the sheep, whose skin the Wolf was wearing, began to

follow the Wolf in the Sheep’s clothing; so, leading the

Lamb a little apart, he soon made a meal off her, and for

some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and

enjoying hearty meals.

Appearances are deceptive.

transparent and opaque in comics world: the invisible jet of Wonder Woman

wonder woman

Wonder Woman is a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.



Wonder Woman is an Amazon (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston, an American, as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men."Her powers include superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses an animal-like cunning and a natural rapport with animals, which has in the past been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and an invisible airplane.

Hollow Man - seperate score (Jerry Goldsmith)

tratto di uomo senza ombra

la fantascienza ha cercato di ipotizzare che cosa capita quando un oggetto diventa trasparente.

Light, Reflection and Refraction

una breve spiegazione su come funziona la riflessione e la rifrazione della luce.

La trasparenza e l'opacità sono infatti regolate dalla struttura chimica del materiale che permette alla luce di attraversarli o essere in parte assorbita in modo tale da far percepire un tipo di colore
