Hosts Mike Deeson and Laureen Jaffe remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg and talk with noted Jewish artist Janet Echelman.

The artist and sculptor Janet Echelman works on huge pieces of public art that combine high tech design, history and visual imagination to soar above the heads of the public and interact with the environment. Her latest, Bending Arc, has been waiting out the Covid crisis before finally being unveiled to the public in St Petersburg, Florida. Spanning 427 feet, and held by some 180 miles of twine, this giant net sculpture has needed a team of architects, model makers, computer scientists, aeronautical and structural engineers - all led by Echelman - to create a billowing, multi-coloured artwork that will cast shade and inspire the pier walkers of St Petersburg. It is also an artwork that draws directly on Echelman’s own family history in ready-to-wear fashion. Andrea Shea has been documenting Echelman's creative processes and now, all that awaits, is the grand opening scheduled for July when the artist’s imagination will billow and dazzle in the sea breeze.

Ryan talks to the artist behind the 'Bending Arc' sculpture at the St. Pete Pier, Janet Echelman, about her career and the inspiration behind her newest creation.

Il processo creativo e immaginativo non è fluido, anzi gli ostacoli sono essenziali per procedere nel percorso. La storia di Janet Echelman ne è un esempio.

珍妮特·艾克曼从时代的角度看艺术，这里是磨时艺见。通常情况下，我们看到的雕塑都是用诸如木头、钢材、塑料等坚硬的材料塑造而成，但是，你是否见过用柔软的纤维甚至是渔网制作的雕塑呢？毕业于哈佛大学的珍妮特·艾克曼(Janet Echelman)，就使用柔软的材质，在空中搭建出渔网状雕塑，使之随风运动，自由改变形体。珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品这个创作灵感源自艾克曼一次差点要失败的个人画展。彼时，她被邀请去印度举办画展，但是临近开幕，作品却还没有运到，她决定即刻找到替代品。当她看到渔民在沙滩上将网捆绑成型，突然意识到可以用渔网进行雕塑，这样既可塑造立体几何的造型，又不必运用沉重坚实的材料。于是，艾克曼和当地的渔民合作了第一件渔网雕塑作品“宽臀”，并开始沉迷这种雕塑方式。珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品艾克曼在城市建筑之间搭建起柔软的、随风飘动的雕塑，让它们与风、水、光线等自然元素相呼应。而在创作过程中，她也在不断改进材料，不但与渔网工厂合作制作花边网，还曾花费两年的时间寻找一种纤维，希望其能够抵抗紫外线、盐空气、污染，又能够保持足够的柔软度。除此之外，艾克曼在为费城历史纪念馆做雕塑时，还使用微型原子化水离子创造出一片薄雾，让它既能被风改变形状，又让在人穿行其中的时候不会被沾湿。珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品珍妮特·艾克曼的雕塑作品如今，艾克曼的雕塑作为永久性艺术品，不断为冰冷的城市生活增添美感。同时，也告诉人们，当被好运拒之门外时，不妨换一个角度看待，或许灵感和机会就是下一个“渔网”。以上内容由磨时艺见整理，希望对你有所启发。磨时艺见，每晚9点，准时更新！

Peter Boyer (@ptrbyr) talks about his efforts to run away from notifications and centralized technologies toward decentralized, encrypted-by-default alternatives; and also about self-driving cars, being in relation with nature, addictive technologies, uses of machine learning for design, and a lot more. Peter defines himself as a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, programming languages, and computer aided design on the web. Self-declared "incapable of getting bored," he believes in learning by doing and by asking naive questions, and enjoys how, in computer programming, experimentation is free — unlike in other disciplines such as architecture or scientific research. While working at Autodesk, he built custom tools for artist Janet Echelman to build city-scale, net sculptures; was a core developer on the open-source Dynamo product; and was nominated, company-wide, for Innovator of the Year in 2016, due to his work on distributed systems with technologies like Go, gRPC, AWS, or Docker. Previously, he built custom applied numerical optimization tools in C++ at Gehry Technologies for the fabrication and design of buildings. While studying a Master of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Peter cross-enrolled in multiple software engineering and math courses at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), like Geometric Computation or Design and Analysis of Algorithms, and proposed—in his master's thesis—a system to trace the inhabitation of a building throughout its history, as a way to positively affect the lives of its occupants.
