Hengki Koentjoro: Photography that captures the beauty of nature perfectly

These are breathtaking… And only a small sample of his amazing work.

“Photography is not just a way of expressing his most inner soul but also creating a window to the world where through his pictures the unseen and the unspoken can be grasped. Driven by the desire to explore the mystical beauty of nature, he develops his sense and sensibility through the elements of fine art photography. His freedom of expression is more reflected in the elaboration and exploration of black and white.”

The global mean temperature versus time graph is gonna get bad (very bad).

This conceptual rainforest canopy structure is pretty incredible.

“Programmatically, the project is centred on scientific exploration and harvesting medicinal plants, which provides an alternative use of the forest without destroying it. At the same time, the positive occupation of the territory it enables could provide a level of surveillance that helps to protect both the endangered environment and the indigenous population.”

Gain Mass Fast. Take Higgs Boson Pills.

O.K. Not technically an accurate turn of phrase, but maybe a good visual segue into such matters.

When humanity disappears, a ring of dead spacecraft will remain as evidence of our existence.

Trevor Paglen – The Last Pictures from Creative Time on Vimeo.

“In September 2012, the television satellite EchoStar XVI will lift off from Kazakhstan with the disc attached to its anti-earth deck, enter a geostationary orbit, and proceed to broadcast over ten trillion images over its fifteen-year lifetime. When it nears the end of its useful life, EchoStar XVI will use the last of its fuel to enter a slightly higher “graveyard orbit,” where it will power down and die. While EchoStar XVI’s broadcast images are destined to be as fleeting as the light-speed radio waves they travel on, The Last Pictures will continue to slowly circle Earth until the Earth itself is no more.”
