Edge of the Apocalypse

Convergence

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Michael Farver

OK, let’s face it: there’s so much information out there, my fingers would wear to bloody stumps and my brain explode if I tried to report, share or comment on them all myself. So I’ve linked with Pulse and Posterous to troll my 30-odd information feeds and aggregate, save and publish the best as a part of my own feed. I’ll auto-share some cherry, selected finds and posts, in addition to my own observations, here on Edge of the Apocalypse – and my compete, unedited Pulse feed is here. You can add it by searching <michaelfarver>

2016 Bosch Parade

Posted on June 17, 2016 by Michael Farver

Every June, since 2010, the waters of ’s-Hertogenbosch (the Netherlands) provide the venue for the Bosch Parade, a wondrous armada of vessels and objects inspired by the work and ideas of Medieval painter Jheronimus Bosch. Artists from all disciplines (art, theatre, dance, music, architecture) collaborate with groups of enthusiastic amateurs and volunteers to create this artistic, water-borne parade, which runs for three days every June. This spawns not only a creative floating parade by and for the city, but also an extensive creativity network throughout the city. Check out the video of some of this year’s entries:
