Evolution of Evolution
Horizontal gene transfer theory revolutionizing evolution theory. In the past few years, a host of genome studies have demonstrated that DNA flows readily between the chromosomes of microbes and the external world. Typically around 10 per cent of the genes in many bacterial genomes seem to have been acquired from other organisms in this way, though the proportion can be several times that (New Scientist, 24 January 2009, p 34). So an individual microbe may have access to the genes found in the entire microbial population around it, including those of other microbe species. "It's natural to wonder if the very concept of an organism in isolation is still valid at this level," says Goldenfeld.

Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed
"This method uses theatre as means of knowledge and transformation of the interior reality in the social and relational field. The public becomes active, so that the "spect-actors" explore, show, analyze and transform the reality in which they are living."

Duchamp
The door Duchamp kept, which "only goes both ways. is only both open and closed."
Below is an image of "Etant Donne" Duchamp's final masterpiece, viewable only through two peep holes in a closed door. He worked on this piece secretely for twenty years nearly thirty years after he had given up art for chess. It is on view permanently at the Philadelphia Art Museum.
