Tim Noble and Sue Webster take ordinary objects - like rubbish - to make sculptures which really don’t look like anything. The magic happens when they point a light at them and project the shadows onto the walls. The process of transformations, from trash to recognisable forms, echoes the idea of perceptual psychology - a form of evaluation used for psychological patients. Noble and Webster have repeatedly played with the idea of how humans perceive abstract images and define them with a meaning. The result is surprisingly powerful, redefining how abstract forms can transform into figurative ones.

Insert pun about packing heat at your next barbecue here ______ .

In rush hour, there are enormous numbers of cyclists fighting for space on Copenhagen’s bike paths, which become cramped and packed.
As numbers grow and they fight for space, cyclists are becoming more aggressive and reckless in traffic. I increasingly see people bringing themselves and others into dangerous situations….They break the laws and use their bikes in completely reckless ways.
”—Copenhagen has a unique city problem—too many bikes. Frits Bredal of the Danish Cyclist’s Federation describes the conditions on the road, and why this extreme two-wheeled congestion is a problem.

US survey: 1 in 5 telecommuters work an hour or less a day
Almost one in five Americans who work from home only clock in for an hour or less a day, according to a survey, while a third stay in their pyjamas.
Forty per cent of telecommuters say they work between four and seven hours, 17 per cent are doing the bare minimum and just 35 per cent are working eight or more hours, the CareerBuilder survey of 5,299 people revealed.
As bad as that sounds, it’s much better than it was in 2007, when only 18 per cent were able to manage eight hours or more.
