![]() ![]() I’ll Be Your Mirror, is about works that “confront, replace, and represent the role of reflection in the relationship of the real and the virtual, the copy and original, and the seen and unseen”. Instead of your own reflection, expect to encounter paintings, drawings, video installations, textile works and sculptures from emerging artists. ![]() In collaboration with Audain Visual Artist in Residence, Kota Ezawa, I’ll Be Your Mirror “explores the generative and long-lasting relationship of art to mirrors through engaging with ideas of reflection, refraction, reenactment, repetition, echoes…” Before you get sidetracked fixing your hair, note that no actual mirrors are included in the show. REFLECT | SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts‘ (SCA) third-year Visual Art students are holding their annual exhibition at SFU Goldcorp Centre for the Arts’ Audain Gallery this week. If Congresscritters think Earth is cooling, that i t’s only 6000 years old, that vaccines are dangerous, and that the existence of snow disproves global warming, then chemtrails don’t seem like that much of a stretch.Sun, April 2 | 10:30am-1:45pm | Kitsilano Community Centre | $100 pp 2690 Larch St, Vancouver, BC V6K 4K9 MAP Given how anti-science so many members of Congress can be, I don’t think there’s any idea too silly for them to not take seriously. Conspiracy theorists usually don’t make a big splash in real life, but if they get the ear of a politician, time, money, and effort can indeed be wasted – sometimes on a big scale. So I’m glad these scientists went to the effort, even though it may seem silly. What else is going on up there? Rain makers: How high-flying bacteria could control the cloudsĪt least to walk away from them specifically in some cases it’s worth pursuing the discussion with the public because they’re liable to hear about it, and a place to find actual facts and debunking is a handy thing to make available. This is what I call a philosophical cul-de-sac they’ve removed themselves from any possible evidence and criticism, and at that point I’ve learned to walk away. ![]() ![]() The first thing you’ll find out when you deal with people like that is that any evidence against them is part of the cover-up. But as the authors note, it won’t make a dent in the conspiracy theories. The research is actually rather interesting, and I encourage you to read it. When I can’t find my keys in the morning I can’t rule out that dinosaur ghosts hid them from me. In other words, they found some unusually high amounts of barium, which hardly supports the idea of wide-spread cover-ups of mind control techniques – and it sounds like the scientist in question was simply saying they can’t rule SLAP out, which is a very different thing from saying it’s real. In that case, it’s hardly a smoking gun: The one participant who answered yes said the evidence they had come across was “high levels of atm barium in a remote area with standard ‘low’ soil barium”. Of course, the first thing you’ll notice is the one scientist who dissented. Everything they saw on the conspiracy websites showed that what they were seeing was the natural consequence of planes flying around all on their own without government nefariousness. 98.7 per cent (76 out of 77) of the scientists said they had encountered no evidence of a secret large-scale atmospheric programme (SLAP). In the end, 77 scientists reported back, and the results were not terribly surprising. They surveyed hundreds of experts in contrails as well as those who study atmospheric deposition (how various chemicals fall to the ground from the air), presenting them with the evidence provided on various chemtrail websites (mostly in the form of photos of plane trails and analyses of water and soil samples), asking them to evaluate it. Given how anti-science so many members of the US Congress can be, I don’t think there’s any idea too silly for them to not take seriously. Else is going on up there?
