NASA | Canyon of Fire on the Sun
A magnetic filament of solar material erupted on the sun in late September, breaking the quiet conditions in a spectacular fashion. The 200,000 mile long filament ripped through the sun's atmosphere, the corona, leaving behind what looks like a canyon of fire. The glowing canyon traces the channel where magnetic fields held the filament aloft before the explosion. Visualizers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. combined two days of satellite data to create a short movie of this gigantic event on the sun.

Paa Joe & The Lion
Paa Joe & The Lion looks at an artist at work, the highs and lows of being an artisan and keeping traditions alive. It also documents the fascinating Ga culture and examines how we look at life and death both in Ghana and around the world. Independent film-maker Ben Wigley has made several journeys to Ghana but needs your help to complete the story of Paa Joe and finish his film. The past 4 years have been full of pitches to TV and film commissioners, documentary masterclasses all over Europe, the building of a lion coffin in an English country park and first-hand experience of a real Ga funeral. It's been an incredible adventure and we're so close to finishing the film. All we need now is enough money to fly back to Ghana for one last shoot before the editing begins...

Temporary Zones
"Temporary Zones" is the third installment in the "ODD NY" series. Following up on the previous subjects focusing on maps and also windows at night; this one explores the transitory nature of NYC architecture through the building and re-building of scaffolding across the city. On the one hand completely ubiquitous and banal, it's easy to tune out the psychological presence of the ever changing and omnipresent fixture that is scaffolding. Up one day, gone the another, it's the building blocks for a city that always has and always will be in a state of flux.

Sam Jinks
Sam Jinks' sculptural work sustains the briefest and often most private moments in time. Emotional vulnerability is both the subject and result of his work and moves audiences in a way not expected from contemporary art. For Jinks, his works are not literal representations, but are based on the combination of different stages of life. Jinks uses these themes of old and new to suggest unrealized potential: the figures are frozen in time, simultaneously at the beginning and end of life. Created from silicone, fiberglass, resin, calcium carbonate and human hair these works contain a profound sense of the vulnerability and are remarkable in their striking portrayal of the human condition.

Next Floor

Antoni Gaudí’s Vision Nears Completion
When Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí was tragically killed by a train in 1926, he was in the middle of building of his masterpiece — the Barcelona basilica, Sagrada Familia. Eighty-six years later, the church still isn’t complete. But according to Jordi Faulí, the current architect, it’ll be done by 2026. This is what it’s going to look like.
