Self-torture and self-deception blur, Escaping reality without a trace, Avoiding illusions like fleeting dreams, Seeking tranquility and inner peace. Rumors swirl like tangled threads in the sky, Holding onto truth as a steadfast belief, Harmonious coexistence, free from turmoil, Approachin...

For the best part of the last 7 years, I have been on my tech journey. It’s been a topsy turvy ride. Starting out as a mere repairer and fixer of some sorts, before finding my footing in graphics design which I learned and mastered for about 5 years until now, I began coding in 2019, but the d...

Hiding in the background is my superpower. It’s where I always want to be. Like a pretty wallpaper is comfortable as a backdrop, I never wished to be in the spotlight, engage in conversation, or make myself seen. Not having what to say isn’t the issue, it’s the attention that comes...

You have a Light within you that shines brightly regardless of what you do, what you say, or the masks you wear. It doesn’t demand you act a certain way or perform certain tasks in order to shine its unconditional Loving Light on and through you. This Light is limitless and sees thro...

It can be argued that all visual artists use light. Otherwise their work wouldn’t be visible, right? Of course, the entire media of film and photography rely on light from source, through process, to finished work. Some artists, though, have explored light and its effects as the work&nbsp...

In Amsterdam, Netherlands rests a hidden gem that you simply have to experience for yourself. Opened by CultureSpaces on April 22, 2022, this art exhibition allows for onlookers to become surrounded by the works of many famous artists; Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt and Salvador Dal&ia...

There’s nothing like a global pandemic to highlight the dire inequalities and power differentials that exist within society. Even in Amsterdam, one of the wealthiest cities in Europe, it didn’t take long for the already vulnerable to teeter on the edge of collapse during the lockdown of ...

People say “In order to defeat the darkness, you must bring it into the light,” and then there’s Amsterdam bringing light into the darkness. I don’t know exactly how savage it is, but anyway, the Amsterdam Light Festival is something to be spoken about. In the dusky months of...

7th edition of Amsterdam Light Festival is taking place between 29 November 2018 until 20 January 2019. This year's edition's name is "THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE". It has 29 light artworks and 10 city stories. All the artworks is lighted up between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m except New Year&...

I remember deciding my senior year of high school that I would study abroad. I wasn’t sure where, but I knew I would do it. Months later, during that same year, the whole world shut down. When I eventually was studying at my university, in-person, I still had my same dream, but it had becom...

Imagine having the power to create whatever you desire in your life. YOU DO! This power comes from Spiritual Energy and you could tap an unlimited, spiritual reservoir of energy that can help you in every aspect of your life. Think of Spiritual Energy as your spiritual bank accou...

TAIPEI — Hung Jui-Lin (1912–1996) holds an important position in the history of Taiwanese art. The last time when there was a largest-scale exhibition dedicated to the artist was back in 1997 — in memory of his death anniversary. 25 years later, this long-overdue retrospective exhi...

Anyone familiar with the work of Vancouver’s Rodney DeCroo will know how trauma informs his art. The son of a violent and PTSD-ridden Vietnam War veteran, DeCroo spent his childhood moving from Pennsylvania to the gloomy rough-and-tumble towns of British Columbia and back again, accruing the d...

The cosmos has always piqued my curiosity; the infinite expanse of the universe invoked a big fat question mark in my head. In the fall of 2017, I stumbled upon an article in the NY Post about a meteor shower set to grace the night sky on August 12. The prospect of experiencing this cosmic event for...

In September of 1968, I had a deeply moving spiritual experience. It changed everything. For a minute or two or three — I cannot say for sure — there were no clocks in the timeless. I was nothing but light: a brilliant, pervading, warm, uplifting, out-of-this-world light. And when the ro...

There are times in life when we are overwhelmed by fear and doubt. There are times when we are plunged into spiritual darkness. In this place of total crisis, we are stripped naked before God and all our pretenses and facades fall away. In this rock-bottom state, we discover the divine spark th...

When we’re not fully in the body — grounded — it doesn’t feel good. This is because we’re out of balance. Many of us think that spiritual means we live only or mostly in the spirit. In truth, it takes balance of the body-mind-spirit Triple Powers to ...

I am aware of the history of the passable light-skin black woman in the United States. Of individuals who have shunned their black relatives to become entrenched in white society to gain status, acceptance and basic human dignity. Of the invention of paper bag tests — the intra ethnic discrimi...

History: Gatherings to honor the planets and celestial events have long been revered as sacred rites of passage. These traditions, spanning millennia, speak to a deep-seated connection between humanity and the cosmos, a recognition of our place within the greater universe. Both humbling and awe...

While this is a troubling situation that disrupts the behavior of humans and all animals, it affects astronomers more than most, as the field of astronomy relies on being very sensitive to faint objects in the night sky; more light pollution of all types, including from bright satellite streaks, mea...

Whenever you take a look out there at the vast abyss of the deep Universe, it’s the points of light that stand out the most: stars and galaxies. While the majority of the light that you’ll first notice does indeed come from stars, a deeper look, going far beyond the visible portion of th...

Somewhere, far away, if you believe what you read, there’s a hole in the Universe. There’s a region of space so large and empty, a billion light-years across, that there’s nothing in it at all. There’s no matter of any type, normal or dark, and no stars, galaxies, plasma, gas...

The practical use of resonant optical cavities dates back to the Fabry-Perot Interferometer, devised by Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, which is a fairly simple, but nevertheless ingenious, arrangement of two semi-transparent mirrors. See below for a great demonstration video from MIT...

Collisions in space are really bad. Even with our current technology, a piece of space debris moving at Earth escape speed (roughly 11.2 kilometers per second) weighing 30 grams (an ounce) packs a punch equivalent to nearly two megajoules. That's as much energy as it takes to lift a one ton...

For nearly all of human history, once the Sun went down and the sky darkened, so long as you had a clear, moonless night, you’d be greeting with a spectacular, thrilling night sky: with thousands of stars, a clear view of the Milky Way, and several faint, fuzzy nebulae all visible to your nake...

Light therapy has become an increasingly popular wellness tool for managing skin conditions and overcoming jet lag. But can you actually bring such devices onto a plane in your carry-on? What rules exist around medical devices and electronics? Do international flights complicate things? In t...
