Strange Attractors by Chaotic Atmospheres

The darkest art known as Chaos Theory is perfectly embodied in the form of its strange attractors: vast looping trajectories of variables that, when plotted, conjure gorgeous yet insidiously disruptive patterns. Chaotic Atmosphere’s Math: Rules series pays tribute to the beautiful form of chaos and its inevitable collapse of all our efforts to predict it.

Franco Pagetti: Flashback, Iraq

Today marks the 10^th year since the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Franco Pagetti had been working in the country for three months before the outbreak of war. Photographing under the supervision of secret police and Saddam’s minders proved to be far easier than what followed. Violence quickly spiraled out of control; civilians and journalists were constantly terrorized by the threat of bombing, kidnapping, and uncontrollable collateral damage. Reporting required an ever increasing need to be defended by men with guns; the protection of hired guards giving way to the firepower of the U.S. military. Pagetti worked and returned through 2008, capturing the ebb and flow conflict through the duration of his coverage.

Flashback, Iraq opens at VII Gallery in Brooklyn tonight at 6:30PM, featuring a panel discussion between Pagetti, co-curators Alice Gabriner and James Wellford, as well as Michael Kamber, photojournalist and director of Bronx Documentary Center.

Hitler flirting with Eva Braun.

I don’t know how this makes me feel

It makes me feel very uncomfortable

You know what’s so uncomfortable about this? It shows that perhaps one of the most evil men in history, was a human being. That, on occasion, he could be nice, even flirty. That’s not all. You want to see evil people as evil, screaming horrible stuff over a desk with 20 microphones with 20, 000 people saluting them. The evil is clear and recognizable then. This shows a completely different image, it scares you because that means that evil isn’t a stereotype, that evil is not recognizable, that evil could be anyone. It scares you because this shows that could be lurking inside anyone and you’ll never ever know. Maybe in you? 

i reblogged this literally like 2 minutes ago, but i want this version because of that comment ^

That comment is one of my favorite post commentaries, because it’s completely right. People aren’t inherently evil. Like good, it’s a role they grow and live into. We have just as much potential to destroy as this man exhibited. And it’s a very eye opening experience to realize that.
