…

ür das Museum Kurhaus Kleve entwickelte Blockadia* Tiefsee im Rahmen der Ausstellung „Hausputz! Und andere Visionen für das Museum Kurhaus Kleve“ verschiedene ortsspezifische Installationen, die sich um das mit Erde gefüllte Beet, das sogenannte „Earthbed“, drehen. Die Beete beruhen auf einem Prototypen, der im Jahr 2021 für eine Ausstellung in Frankfurt entstanden ist. Im Kurhaus werden die Beete sowohl als funktionale Plattformen im Außenraum aufgebaut und dort mit Pflanzen bestückt, als auch im Innenraum als Plattform für die Präsentation von Kunstwerken eingesetzt. 

Zusätzlich wird das Kollektiv im Spätsommer eine Reihe von Workshops anbieten, die sich u. a. mit dem Kompostieren beschäftigen. Seit 2017 ist eine wachsende Wurmpopulation Teil von Blockadia*Tiefsee. Sie wurde initialisiert durch den Workshop „Meeting at the Wormery“ von Angela Jerardi und Antonia Lotz auf Einladung von Susanne M Winterling in Offenbach am Main. Seitdem leben und vermehren sich die Würmer in Wurmkomposten, die von verschiedenen Gruppen in Workshops angelegt wurden, in Frankfurt am Main, Freiburg, Schwelm und Trondheim. Praktisch baut das Kollektiv Kompostierbehälter für Würmer und theoretisch befasst es sich mit Kompostieren als Möglichkeit, um Ressourcen, Beziehungen und Wertvorstellungen zu überdenken und als mögliche, erneuerbare Methode für die Produktion von Kunst. Zusammen mit Mikroben wandeln Würmer Essbares in Humus um. Es gibt beim Kompostieren keinen Abfall, sondern nur Ressourcen, die in Gemeinschaftsarbeit der zersetzenden Kraft von Archaeen, Bakterien und Pilzen und des Verdauungssystems der zahnlosen Würmer unter Bindung von Kohlendioxid in einen wertvollen Lebensraum für Pflanzen und andere Bodenlebewesen transformiert werden. Es ist keine Pyramide mit dem Menschen an der Spitze, sondern ein Kreislauf, ein Netz, in dem die unterschiedlichsten Lebewesen zur Erneuerung des Bodens einen Teil beitragen. … Mit: Martin Dörr, Johannes Lenzgeiger, Antonia Lotz, Ulrike Markus, Petra Metzner, Joëlle Pidoux, Wagehe Raufi, Risom.Sekles, Dennis Siering, Jakob Stoeger, Moritz Urban, Mathias Weinfurter, Linda Weiß, Susanne M. Winterling

like whomst the fuck even looked at the Egyptian dude who fathered two girls who didn't survive and who himself died at the ripe old age of 18 and went "yes THIS guy is For Real the White European Ancestor". whomst the fuck even got DNA out of Tut's mangled, bitumen-drowned mummy that was apparently good enough to study and which allegedly gave such clean results. a fucking wizard? what the actual hell.

#i know WHY #it's because it's Tut #he also features heavily in that idiotic brain wormery about how all ancient egyptian royalty had ''blue european eyes''

“Love. Huh! Wrote a treatise on the chromosomal origins of love once, when I was a small boy. Proved categorically which gene began it, which enzymes carried it, which electrochemical receptors translated it… Took all the fun out of it. Got a rubbish grade, too. My tutor told me I’d missed the point.”

I'm listening to the Big Finish audios in such a weird order I'm just going for whichever clip showed up on my dash recently

#went from scherzo to rat.mp3 to CHARLOTTE POLLARD. at least i started with storm warning #but i didn't like sword of orion or the stones of venice so it put me off listening to them in order #also done master and the wormery #rn i'm going through whichever 8/charley thing sounds fun at the moment. i prefer the ones set in the past #also need to meet fitz listen to caerdroia and find out where they meet c'rizz #not ready for zagreus yet though i'll get there eventually #it feels like watching doctor who in chronological order of the time they travel to so. bad. but it's what works #going on my little mental health walks listening to paul mcgann and india fisher #audio liveposting

[tea-earl-grey]

there are three types of people in this world:

1) people who think Zagreus is the best dw anniversary special

2) people who have never heard Zagreus

3) people who have incorrect opinions

#you're allowed to have incorrect opinions but i only speak the truth <3 #its three and a half hours and it truly has it all - a cast list thats two feet long #its camp #paul mcgann gets to lose his shit in many ways #it tears your heart out “im the bravest one in this room” #“i love you.” “kill me.” </3 #most of the cast dont play their actual characters #the entire thing is based around alice in wonderland #and best of all it continues in scherzo #absolutely unparalleled #tbh 2003 was the best year for doctor who releases and the actual show had been on hiatus for 13 years #like theres dr who and the pirates. the wormery. zagreus. scherzo. jubilee. project lazarus. omega. davros. master. deadline. #life during wartime too #anyways guess what im listening to on my 15 hour train ride today #doctor who #big finish #doctor who eu #my posts

Little sketch of one of my favourite BF scenes of all time. Whenever I’m sad I think of Iris saying “can I have a cuddle?” and the world is right

The Wormery

Well, this definitely was an Iris Wildthyme story. She technically was better than my expectations (like drinking being her superpower), but the silliness is a bit much. Half decent idea to have evolution hating worms be the villains. Colin Baker falls in love (again?) and nicely mopey about the The Trial of a Time Lord.

ok so maybe drinking an energy drink just before going on stage, especially since it's currently 40°C, wasn't a good idea. I am this 👌 close to fainting

#i am genuinely shaking lol #i blame the wormery for getting me into energy drinks

"An estimated six million tonnes of used coffee grounds are created annually. Most go to landfill, generating methane and CO2, or are incinerated for energy.

It’s an obvious waste of a byproduct still rich in compounds (if not flavour). On a domestic level, try directing your cafetiere contents to your garden, not your bin: used coffee grounds are excellent as an addition to home compost bins and wormeries, a mulch for roses and a deterrent to snails. And on a global scale, science might have the answer.

A new study in the Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology suggests that used coffee could hold the key to a pressing environmental problem: agricultural contamination.

How could old coffee grounds solve agricultural pollution?

Scientists from Brazil’s Federal Technological University of Paraná found that leftover coffee can absorb bentazone, a herbicide frequently used in agriculture.

When old coffee grounds are activated with zinc chloride, their carbon content becomes 70 per cent more efficient in removing the herbicide.

The study’s tests involved bentazone dissolved in liquid and treated with activated carbon from used coffee grounds, to see how it affected onion root tissues called meristems. All plants grow from meristem tissue and a plant’s development is disrupted when its meristems are damaged.

If the test can be replicated on an industrial scale, it would be an environmental double whammy: diverting coffee waste from landfill and preventing damage to wildlife and nature from herbicides.

Why is bentazone a problem?

...The UK’s Environment Agency cites bentazone as having the potential to affect long-term water quality and lead to an increased need to treat the UK’s drinking water sources. The herbicide has been shown to impact human health if it is inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin.

While this is only preliminary research and more studies are needed to determine efficacy of activated coffee grounds on a global scale, it’s a promising start. The authors of the study say their results “suggest a circular economy solution for spent coffee grounds that are currently discarded without any recycling or reuse system”. We can all drink to that."

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 42

The Mara jumped from Tegan into the Fifth Doctor, then also affected Nyssa and Turlough. The Mara will stay with them all forever in the back of their minds. (Audio: The Cradle of the Snake)

The Brigadier has forced the Fourth Doctor to write apology and thank you letters before but always thoroughly edits them to make them more polite or completely rewrites it himself if they're too rude. (Novel: The Time Lord Letters)

Turlough had a childhood sweetheart named Deela. Since they had been teenagers, they decided to make the key to the vault of his winter palace their literal kiss. (Audio: Kiss of Death)

The Third Doctor taught Jo Venusian aikido. (Audio: The Sacrifice of Jo Grant)

While at the Academy, the Doctor wrote a paper dissecting romantic love. He concluded that love was nothing but chemicals and metabolites. His professor gave him an absolutely dreadful grade on it because the Doctor missed the point of the assignment entirely. (Audio: The Wormery)

The TARDIS recalls that the Ninth Doctor was beaten after losing a war "against Death." She misses this incarnation. (Short story: What the TARDIS thought of "Time Lord Victorious")

The TARDIS had a lot of issues trying to translate Peri's accent. (Audio: The Lost Planet)

Putting the sonic screwdriver through the laundry can result in all the dirt molecules being agitated until it forms a mud creature. (Comic: Laundro-Room of Doom)

The Eighth Doctor once became depressed with his model train set because he wanted something less perfect. After he returned from an adventure, he found that a disaster had occurred among his model trains. When he went to clean up, he saw that the miniature people in his train set had started putting things right, so he decided to let them fix it themselves and hopefully learn things from the experience. (Short story: Model Train Set)

At one point, the Doctor switched out the TARDIS stereo system for a micromodulator switch, which is capable of shrinking things, and forgot about it. The Tenth Doctor and Rose were accidentally shrunk using it, and while shrunk, he got stuck in a spider web. (Comic: Which Switch?)

Type 1 TARDISes were notoriously temperamental and sometimes attacked and consumed the scientists working on them. When the Eleventh Doctor managed to calm one down after winding up in early Gallifrey, Rassilon noticed this and had him work on developing Type 1s, taking advantage of his advanced knowledge. (Comic: The Lost Dimension)

When these scientists had asked who the Doctor was, he eventually decided to let everyone call him Theta-Sigma. (Comic: The Lost Dimension)

Vortex drillers were used by early Gallifreyans to tunnel through the time vortex. They were discontinued because of the damage this did to time. They kind of looked like castles, but instead of turrets, there were drills. There would be altars for Gallifreyan cults inside, and they had mineralic circuitry. (Audio: The Auton Infinity)

The War Master once manipulated Jo into thinking that he was her uncle. (Audio: A Quiet Night In)

"Theta Sigma" was simply a unique identifier used by the Doctor in his youth. It should not be spoken out loud outside of the Academy (not that this ever stopped many people who knew him at the time). (Novel: Falls the Shadow)

been going nuts about character/costume design lately. and about the EDAs.

1. Bianca from the Big Finish story The Wormery in a showgirl outfit based on the Valeyard's costume

2. the barbarella version of Iris Wildthyme from Blue Angel

3. design noodling for Homonculette from Alien Bodies. with bonus marie doodle

#dw #my art #dweu #big finish #edas #eighth doctor adventures #iris wildthyme #homonculette is such a Type of Guy i dont think i captured it at all....

iris wildthyme is SO entertaining i'm enjoying this so much

#i'm struggling with the accent i can't tell where anyone is from #i have a lot of trouble telling the classic doctors' voices apart too they all just sound posh #the narrator of the wormery is glaswegian and i can tell because she sounds almost exactly like my friend's mum but past that? #hopelessly lost #ty rowan for the file
