Supermarket in C by Malcom Goldie
An experiment in ‘public sound’ - the checkout tills in this supermarket are re-programmed to emit their ‘beeps’ as a random note from within the scale of C Major.Ends up sounding something like Eno’s Discreet Music, minus all the delay. Soothing, really.
Sean Meehan found this on a bike path just above 125th street in Harlem, NY.

Go on a lovely journey to the Arctic Circle and don’t forget to send your films to the post office on the way.

So long, Maryanne Amacher
It was a pleasure and an honour.
I won’t forget Korean beef, salopettes, your belt of bullets, your leather flying cap or your keen or discerning ear. Your performance at Instal was literally jaw dropping. My favourite Instal moment ever…
Nuclear Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility Cherenkov Radiation
Hanford Site, U.S. Department of Energy
Southeastern Washington State
Submerged in a pool of water at Hanford Site are 1,936 stainless-steel nuclear-waste capsules containing cesium and strontium. Combined, they contain over 120 million curies of radioactivity. It is estimated to be the most curies under one roof in the United States. The blue glow is created by the Cherenkov Effect which describes the electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle, giving off energy, moves faster than light through a transparent medium. The temperatures of the capsules are as high as 330 degrees Fahrenheit. The pool of water serves as a shield against radiation; a human standing one foot from an unshielded capsule would receive a lethal dose of radiation in less than 10 seconds. Hanford is among the most contaminated sites in the United States.
