Untitled XXV

Right at the heart of a burst of painting activity in the mid-1970s, de Kooninga€™s Untitled XXV suggests a continual passing of time which gives this work a sense of dynamism rather than stillness. The paintinga€™s dramatic and powerful presence led to fierce bidding battles which were settled at $27,120,000, setting not only a world auction record for the artist but also a world auction record for any post-war work. From the same period, Untitled XXIX, 1977 realized $8,080,000 while de Kooninga€™s superb drawing, Two Women II, circa 1952, achieved $9,648,000, setting a new world auction record for a work on paper by the artist.

Mind Uploading

…explore the science behind the science-fiction!

The Mind Uploading home page is dedicated to the putative future process of copying one’s mind from the natural substrate of the brain into an artificial one, manufactured by humans. This technology will radically alter society in many ways, as science fiction authors have begun to illustrate.

"Shape Shifters"

No aircraft excels in all conditions, which is a pity because if one did, it would rule the world. Commercial airliners, for example, which are designed to cruise at high altitudes over long distances, make lousy fighters. But the day is soon coming when one aircraft might do the job of twoa€"or many more.

New a€oemorphinga€A technology promises adroit aircraft that reshape themselves, bird-like, in flight. University and industry researchers funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and others are experimenting with wings and helicopter rotors that fold, shrink, extend, tilt, and twist in flight. Ita€™s a breakthrough in airplane design that would let a single airplane take on the persona of a bomber one moment, a fighter the next.

a€oeMorphing lets one type of airplane do all types of missions,a€A says Rick Lind, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Florida. His team has built small remote airplanes that morph in a half-dozen different ways. One folds its wingsa€"first into the shape of an M for steady, stable flight. Then it reverses thema€"in 15 secondsa€"into a W, making it so maneuverable it turns on a dime. The research is funded by the Air Force, which wants remote aircraft that can wheel through cities like hawks.
