Standards of Roomba craftsmanship have really dropped in recent years. Back in the day you had dual power buttons (normal and divine) and handy see-through side panels for easy viewing of the dirt bin. You did need an adapter plug to use it outside of the Vatican City however

Finally, the idea for my #exhibition! " #Archaeologists made a revolutionary #discovery in 2033. In the vicinity of pottery shards from the late Betschdorf and Soufflenheim cultures (early 21st century), they found objects reminiscent of ancient #reliquaries. An antique QR code will be provided for you to visit this page. You can also beam up in the form of a hologram." 😎 😂 ▶️ https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ #SciArt #ArtActivism #BiodiversityShrines #BiodiversityLoss #archaeology #butterflies
Reliquaires de la Biodiversité- Biodiversity Shrines - Schreine der Artenvielfalt – Petra van Cronenburg

A virtual visit of an 2023 exhibition of my art in 3 languages: En, Fr, De.

Today, I finished a new one of my #BiodiversityShrines feat. Jordanita subsolana, a #butterfly now extinct in our region. My #shrines are a mixture of #paperArt #nature, elements of #culturalHeritage materials and "civilisation" #waste, like the 8 cm wide cheese box and the precious #plastic-cement-waste. My inspirations come from #klosterarbeiten, #reliquaries #naturalHistory #museums and my brain.

My work today on the #BiodiversityShrines was mainly the old technique of #perlage = #beading. On social media it's often called #FrenchBeading, but in France, we don't say that. Differences in beading technique are less national than temporal. Victorian techniques, f. e., differed from those of the Renaissance. Perlage was traditionally used for costumes, headdresses or so-called #klosterarbeiten like #reliquaries.

Attached: 1 image 1/ O holy laziness! I decided not to go to the museum because rainy 14°C is not so much comfortable for sitting outside. I will enjoy the pleasant coolness in my studio before the heat returns. My excuse: So many #BiodiversityShrines for the exhibition in October are not ready yet. (Look on the hashtag for more). So I'm going to skewer #endangered species (don't worry, it's #PaperArt). #NatureArt #assemblages #artistsOfMastodon #EcoArt #activism #BiodiversityLoss #ClimateAction #FolkArt #kinship

Working on my #BiodiversityShrines showing endangered or extinct regional species. They are inspired by ancient #klosterarbeiten and #reliquaries. I looked for a way to confront people with #biodiversityLoss in #beauty, far away from #disaster reports or pedagogical warnings. #Art has the power to excite questions and talks! #ArtInProgress All #shrines are #upcycled of #packaging #waste. One part of the #butterfly will be hidden. #JordanitaSubsolana #endangeredSpecies #Alsace #PaperArt
