Screenshot from the show. Three rows of buttons and a hand over them. Each button has a round "keycap" and a dark, tall, cylindrical stem inserted in grey metal "ring" with parallel ridges. 77cd6c640cc0e902.png Top view. Doesn't add much information, they're just round, numbered, metal buttons, but the screenshot looks pretty. 2f0173376ec68e5b.png Screenshot of AEMET's app, showing this week's predicted temperatures. Today, December 7, I saw the street thermometer at 24 C, so that's real. The following days we expect temperatures from 18 to 21 C. 3254d6dd1c2b2fbe.jpg Pixel art based on a real photo taken by a friend in Madrid. A guy in a Kermit the frog costume, possible taking a break from a job, sits on a park bench. He looks sad and tired, which contrasts with his costume. The pixel style simplifyes the scene, but it's close to the real one, with autumn trees in the background and low sunlight casting shadows over the yellow earthy ground. Anonymous people walk by. 4ae7fe71d76ade7c.png Several twisted and brown dry araucaria leaves (they look like spiky twigs) are attached to a tilted brown wax cube, which rests on top of a white plasticine cube of the same size (this was temporary). All of it is on a wooden table with some dirty metal tools, drops and pieces of wax. The leaves extend from a diagonal plane of the cube, starting close together and getting more separated at the end, describing sinuous shapes. a3736df778c3ac31.png Several drops of badly mixed paint over a sheet of plastic on a wooden table. The drops are close together. They're pink, blue, yellow and purple, because I had those colours for some other project. 07c5a61161874243.png A second sheet of plastic over the drops, pressing them slightly so they expand, colliding between themselves and creating some straight and curved lines. 143ef9bc37b81448.png More pressure applied, the colours take more area and the lines between them start to mix and become fuzzy. Also the badlye mixed pigments start to show. The result is pretty bad for what I wanted, but it kind of ressembles cells forming tissue, which was the point. 86aafadd620189a9.png Photo of a cicada exuvia (the exoskeleton they leave behind after emerging from the ground and morph into their winged form). It is centered, symmetrical and attached to the bark of a tree. The hole on it's back, where the adult cicada came out, opens a view to the inside of the mold. 55f619cc57b215cd.jpg Photo of orange square ceramic tiles, creating a centered grid on the image. On top of each tile, a few centimeters in and aligned with the borders, there are rough yellow lines, aprox 1 cm wide, forming organic looking squares, some more irregular than others. That's what's made of pollen. b698e5c5f46f6f02.png Three people with shiny silver protective clothing and gear, using metal rods to hold a tilted crucible, pouring red hot brass, looking like lava, over a box full of molds for sculptures. They're on big, grey classroom/shop lit with natural light coming from windows and skylights. 22f645c435027958.jpg
