Truth Arrives in Slanted Beams by Sarah Meyohas 4, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Sarah Meyohas’ sublime and seductive imagery blends analog and digital technologies to illuminate the systems shaping contemporary society. As an artist, inventor, and economist, she investigates the aesthetic and creative potential within science and technology, driven by humanity’s fascination with optics and perception.

The image depicts an outdoor scene with a person interacting with a circular metallic device. The individual, facing away from the camera, is positioned on sandy ground, with a large white curved wall in the background. The person is holding a circular metallic object, which appears to be a mirror or a reflective surface, and is using it to project a bright light onto the wall. The light forms a circular pattern with the word TRUTH prominently displayed in the center. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The overall setting suggests an art installation or an interactive exhibit, with the focus on the projection of light and the word TRUTH.

Umfrage zur Installation von Linux:

Die Installation eines Betriebssystems ist oft der erste Schritt, den Nutzer unternehmen, um die Funktionen und Möglichkeiten eines neuen Systems zu erkunden. Bei der Installation von Linux können verschiedene Aspekte berücksichtigt werden, die die Benutzerfreundlichkeit beeinflussen. Dazu gehören die Verfügbarkeit von Installationsmedien, die Klarheit der Installationsanweisungen und die Unterstützung verschiedener Installationsmethoden, wie zum Beispiel Live-Installationen oder die Verwendung von Installationsassistenten. Einige Distributionen bieten benutzerfreundliche Installationsassistenten, die den Prozess Schritt für Schritt begleiten und auch weniger erfahrenen Nutzern helfen, problemlos durch die Installation zu navigieren. Andere Distributionen hingegen können eine komplexere Installation erfordern, die fortgeschrittene Kenntnisse voraussetzt. In dieser Umfrage möchten wir von euch wissen, wie ihr die Installation von Linux erlebt habt. War der Prozess für euch einfach und intuitiv oder gab es Herausforderungen, die ihr bewältigen musstet? Euer Feedback wird mir helfen, die Benutzerfreundlichkeit von Linux weiter zu bewerten und zu verbessern!

Zur heutigen Frage:

Seit ihr während der Installation auf technische Probleme gestoßen? Wenn ja, welche?

The image depicts a modern architectural structure in a desert landscape. The structure is a smooth, white, curved form that resembles a wave or a shell, with a large opening that allows a view into its interior. Inside, there is a small tree and a circular, transparent object mounted on a pole, which appears to be a light fixture. The structure is set on sandy ground, with sparse vegetation and distant mountains visible in the background under a clear blue sky. A person is seen walking near the structure, providing a sense of scale. The overall scene is bright and sunny, with the white structure contrasting against the blue sky and sandy terrain.

Sarah Meyohas’ sublime and seductive imagery blends analog and digital technologies to illuminate the systems shaping contemporary society. As an artist, inventor, and economist, she investigates the aesthetic and creative potential within science and technology, driven by humanity’s fascination with optics and perception.

Her immersive installation showcases “caustics,” light patterns formed by the refraction or reflection of light through curved surfaces. While this optical effect often occurs naturally, such as at the bottom of a swimming pool, Meyohas transforms it, using innovative light-shaping technology enabling visitors to project sunlight onto a ribbon-like structure cascading across the desert floor.

Desert X is produced by The Desert Biennial, a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization founded in California, conceived to produce recurring international contemporary art exhibitions that activate desert locations through site-specific installations by acclaimed international artists. Its guiding purposes and principles include presenting public exhibitions of art that respond meaningfully to the conditions of desert locations, the environment and Indigenous communities; promoting cultural exchange and education programs that foster dialogue and understanding among cultures and communities about shared artistic, historical, and societal issues; and providing an accessible platform for artists from around the world to address ecological, cultural, spiritual, and other existential themes.

Heute habe ich mir im Kraftwerk Berlin die monumentale Raum-, Video- und Sound-Installation
WE FELT A STAR DYING
von Laure Prouvost
angesehen.

Das Kraftwerk ist schon ein magischer Ort und wie dieses Kunstwerk den Raum bespielt, ist schon Wahnsinn. Die fließenden Bewegungen und die schwebenden Klänge versetzen einen in einen wunderbaren Zustand.

Kann ich sehr empfehlen…

Ein riesiger Industrie-Betonbau - der Raum hat etwas von einer Kathedrale. In der Mitte hängt ein riesiger Kegel von der Decke, von dem flügelartige Gebilde aus durchscheinendem Stoff ausgehen, die im Raum zu schweben scheinen.

@altbot

The image depicts a desert landscape under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there is a sandy area with sparse vegetation, including small shrubs. A concrete pathway leads towards a modern, white architectural structure with curved, wave-like forms. The structure is composed of two large, smooth, white elements that appear to be part of a larger installation. Several people are visible in the scene, walking along the pathway and near the structure, suggesting it is a place of interest or a public art installation. In the background, a range of mountains stretches across the horizon, adding depth to the scene. The overall color palette is dominated by the natural tones of the desert, with the stark white of the structure contrasting against the blue sky and sandy ground.

Hi,
after a somewhat trying time with Nix and taming barebone Linux I can announce availability of a repository providing another Streams, Hubzilla and Forte deployment option. It is being developed as NLNet supported project for reproducible declarative NixOS configurations for CI/CD environments.
Basically, it builds one container image with all the components for running on Docker or other container system. Compared to my previous Docker repo it handles also the complete installation and support of Hubzilla, Streams and Forte, making it so easy to deploy...  Configure all site variables in one file, build image and go to website ready to register first account, already pre-configured using even some undocumented features and settings.

[ _ ] ~~>
https://codeberg.org/node9/fediverse.nix.img/

This is first part providing base image, other parts for more complete deployment system will follow. Testing and issues are welcome!

What Remains by Muhannad Shono 2, Desert X 2025, Coachella Valley, California

Muhannad Shono is known for his innovative exploration of identity, memory, and cultural heritage. His large-scale installations transform common elements such as plastic pipe, string, or sand into intricate systems. Drawing inspiration from the complexities of his upbringing in the Arabian Peninsula, Shono combines traditional techniques with modern forms to address themes of displacement, transformation, and the intersection of past and present.

The image depicts a vast desert landscape under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there are several large, dark-colored fabric structures, possibly tarps, laid out on the sandy ground. These structures are irregularly shaped and appear to be weathered, suggesting they have been exposed to the elements for some time. The desert is sparsely vegetated, with small shrubs and bushes scattered across the sandy terrain. In the background, a majestic mountain range stretches across the horizon, its peaks capped with snow, indicating a significant elevation and possibly a colder climate at higher altitudes. The contrast between the arid desert in the foreground and the snow-capped mountains in the background creates a striking visual effect. The overall scene is devoid of any human presence, emphasizing the natural beauty and isolation of the landscape. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B
