We are going to talk about energy for a while. Humanity uses energy a few ways. Sometimes we make electricity first and then power things with that. Other times we burn fuel directly to power an engine or a heater. But let’s step back and ask: where does energy come from in the first place?
Shown above are several primary generation methods for making electricity. What’s actually happening is that we are taking energy from somewhere else and converting it to a more useful form.
Fossil fuels like coal or oil have energy stored in the chemical bonds inside them. When we use fossil fuels, we are claiming that energy. Nuclear generation is similar, but it’s from the atomic bonds within the nuclei of the fuel materials.
If a material is high in a gravitational field it also has energy, and that is what we’re claiming with hydroelectric generation. Water up high is being lowered, and we get the energy liberated by lowering it. Wind generation claims the kinetic energy from blowing wind. Solar generation claims the radiation energy emitted by the sun.

Pixel Civilization
between Pixel & Atoms
Barack Obama start this year with singled out nuclear power in his State of the Union address, and his spending plan for the next budget year is expected to include billions of more dollars in federal guarantees for new nuclear reactors. Obama cast his move as both economically essential and politically attractive as he sought to put more charge into his broad energy agenda. Obama called for comprehensive energy legislation that assigns a cost to the carbon pollution of fossil fuels, giving utility companies more incentive to turn to cleaner nuclear fuel.
Yes, now a day human can’t survive any single day without Electric Power, all our civilization social connection is relate to a great power of Electric Cable! Have you think so far have can You survive without this Cable? Have you think how far away You are staying from The Mother-Nature? We humans are become, so arrogant to our Planet just a constraint users and occupants, we do not interesting anymore what a beauty, or power, or wellness Nature given to us, we are simply addicted by Electricity that is! We are entering 21 centre, the door is open & now … we can not imagine a day without checking e-mail, Facebook, Google & … we with a bodies that’s breath an Air made by Atoms, has a bones muscles millions oа veins in which blood flows, skin can not imagine a Day without a Pixel, without an Electric Cable our new we now hardly could survive without it … Yes, sure it’s has a lot of advanced we are sharing knowledge, life or professional experience, culture point of view, it is makes everything faster, people become smarter, with a simple tool like a Blog we can express ourselves, our creativity, thoughts, improve, demonstrate or share a things. A great Thanks to the system of wired & codes that make all it is possible. But my massage is about balance in be=tween Pixels & Atoms! We humans 21 century may not forget about Nature, about Ocean and Whale with Dolphins, Seaside & feet in a hot sand, Forest & a clean Air. While all the day we touch our cold keyboard of computer we also may not forgot that there are someone that we can feel, touch, kiss, love, to breath with … we are starting to forget it, we are becoming colder.
We have to start to build a Great Balance between Atoms & Pixels…

… I’ve been thinking about it this morning in Subway, when I’ve been going to my studio, with me been as always my big black bag with MacBookPro, terms with hot tea & magazine Wired, nothing special standard composition.
But for some resons I couln’t read, I started to think about my life and daily routine…
About condition with unfinished stage work for a young master-specials like me, about problem of my generation, and way that we are living and trieng to build our world in New condition in a Global Digital-Electric-Powered Civilization & the border with a Nature that we’ve got…
About Pixel & Atoms …
… later in Internet I’ve found this beautiful installation, it’s a great talented & intelegent:
Photo-installation by Jeroen Wandemaker
The Title:Dead pixel in Google Earth
Made in: 2008
(82 x 82 cm burned square, the size of one pixel from an altitude of 1 km).
My generation have lets try to find a balance …
