Rugby RefCam

I read once that the same amount of information collected from the beginning of time until 2003, would be the same as from 2003 to 2008, and from 2014 in 10 days collect all those exabytes. This is because of the humanity records increasingly tests, events, happenings, incidents, proofs,…

This is another way to discover the world since a closer perspective. Since the referee look now we can check this passion, honesty, power, and tension of this great sport: RUGBY. And also, for coaching, we are able to appreciate nice details of the game, impossible to glimpse from the bench distance.

One More Harlem

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to post my first video-edition of my life. Recently, i got a new laptop mac to get things easier.

IT RULES!

I was never so delighted to use this excellence of tool for daily. Then, i will start writing up again usually, in order to be updated in terms of trends and digital cool stuff. At the moment,  I leave you with the trending phenomenon based on everywhere. The substitute of “gangnam style” for the social absurd entertainment that we are all actors. Here, me recording with some crazy footballer friends:

The Grow Festival

For the grow lovers was born this last weekend the biggest event of Cannabis in the world: Expogrow or what is the same the International Cannabis Fair/Festival/Forum where had place in Irun next to France (200 meters next to french border). Here you could have discovered this world better, launch questions, and share your knowledge with most proffesional of the green area, because of the assitance of huge sponsors like PLANTASUR, AMALUR Y PH-EC PRODUCTIONS.

It is not only a forum, then Expogrow listened reggae music with characters like Marea, Morodo, B-Real, Guadalupe Plata, Emzel Cafe, …. and many more.

But, the star of the party i am going to show for the end. Because the real toy where the new farming invention, which is going to change the plant breeding of the future. It is called GI GROW JARDIN ROTATIF-REFLECTEUR, or colloquially a hemp collider. This is able to grow 336 plants in a row. The secrets are:

- The light position which is close enough to the plants to grow well, but not so close that leaves meet scorches.

- The second constant is gravity. It has been found that if the plants are continuously rotating growth hormones are uniformly distributed throughout the plant, increasing growth rates by several times that of a stationary plant.

- It costs between 3000 and 6000 euros depending on their size. But you must take into account this revolutionary device spend less energy, because use half the number of bulbs.

End of Pedestrian Boredom

STREET PONG: Game created by Sandro Hengel and Holger Michel in the city of Hildesheim (Germany) where these two guys have used the typical time-out of any red traffic-light for fun. How? Instead of the nasty botton to accelerate the waiting time. They’ve used this time to create an interaction between both sidewalks. I don’t know what you are thinking about, but it’s coming to my mind a new way to create ties of potential relationships:

XIMO LIZANA

“Ximo” Lizana

(english version below this)

XIMO LIZANA es profesor, consultor, robot, business man, ciberaldenao y artista desde las alturas.

Este alter ego de lo más androide proviene de… Joaquín en valenciano (empezamos bien…).

Un visualizador nato del negocio digital con más contactos que Pipi Estrada, en la uem (Universidad Europea de Madrid) se dedica a… enseñar a pensar. La uem tiene 2 niveles de profesorado. Los que pertenecen a una estructura académica, y otro vinculado totalmente con el mundo laboral (profesionales, empresarios) de manera directa. Yo quiero alumnos que se entusiasmen por un ámbito específico y que en un futuro ofrezcan soluciones. Hay que aprender a jugar con el sistema.

Lo que ofrece una enseñanza privada es… que no eres un mero número. Los medios marcan la diferencia. Aquí estamos en constante reciclaje y actualización de las ideas. Este mundo es más endogámico, y fomenta el punto de vista internacional  con una serie de valores de trabajo en equipo, originalidad y dinamismo.

El mayor atractivo de la Hoya de Huesca (Aragón) es… ninguno. Desde mi experiencia Aragón es como el dicho del montañés, ni le pidas ni le des (Chan…).

Sin embargo de ahí ha salido gente como Saura, Goya, tú mismo quizás lo mejor que tiene criarse en un sitio tan cerrado (con ese carácter tan fuerte), sea que allí todos tienen la personalidad muy marcada. Hay pueblos de 30 habitantes donde cada uno tiene su rol en la vida. Cada uno se siente único. Al contrario que en capitales como Madrid, donde la superpoblación absorbe tus principios. Te sientes como una hormiga en el hormiguero.

Una sinopsis o pensamiento personal de las siguientes influencias…

- Nam June Paik: El gusto por la luz

- Chico Mac Murtrie: El interés por toda la arqueología tecnológica: El valor de una máquina oxidada o una mancha de pintura en el suelo.

- Stelarc: Es mi padre conceptual. El cuerpo está obsoleto, y este hombre crea una forma de vida a través de la tecnología. La tecnología te permite llegar donde la torpeza natural del ser humano no sería capaz.

Robots humanizados o humanos robotizados…humanos, el poder de un robot está en la persona que lo maneja. En el futuro serán muy importantes las actuales neuroprótesis, sistemas invasivos, lentillas de realidad aumentada, o exoesqueletos capaces de que permitan levantar más de 20 kilogramos de objetos pesados.

Exoesqueleto japonés

Has oído hablar de los semilleros gigantes…sí y da mal rollo. Vivimos en un mundo transgénico que se nos está yendo de las manos. La gente está muriendo de cáncer.

El arte combinado con la tecnología es… simplemente un estilo diferente más.

Es arte… cualquier cosa que una persona realice de manera no negligente poniendo un sentimiento, y con una historia personal detrás que quiere proyectar en esa creación.

A continuación… veremos el mundo del arte conectado con las grandes corporaciones. En el futuro próximo se presentará una idea y materializarla vinculándola con multinacionales. Es decir, las ideas artísticas vinculadas con los valores de una marca. Así, la rentabilidad es recíproca, el artista no asume riesgos con una rentabilidad mediática, mientas las empresas rentabilizan a través de imagen y marketing. Podríamos llamarlo un proyecto industrial con componente artístico.

Un buen negocio se caracteriza por presentar… algo imprescindible. Algo que el receptor no se pueda saltar. Una idea nueva, un rediseño, o una asociación impecable con marcas que despierten en la gente sentimientos religiosos (fidelización extrema) como Apple. El que lleva un iPhone no va a volver a llevar un Samsung. Además que determinadas marcas generan un fuerte compromiso social, un valor añadido psicológico difícil de pasar por alto.

Nunca serás capaz de… repetir dos veces una misma obra de arte.

Tres cosas que te llevarías a una isla desierta… una cocina solar, una caña de pescar, (¿para qué quiero el famoso cuchillo si puedo elegir directamente la caña y sobrevivir?) y una novia fiable (risas).

Coltán de Ximo Lizana

Coltán de Ximo Lizana

A una fiesta veneciana, te tiene que resultar muy difícil elegir tu objeto fetiche… pienso que en un futuro contaminado la belleza será a través de una máscara de gas. Por lo tanto, para saber si una persona es de clase alta o baja tendrá una máscara de oro, plata,… o un determinado dibujo. A una fiesta veneciana, supongo que me llevaría una de estas últimas claro.

Las colecciones son un vicio… sí, al principio coleccionaba monedas (volaron), de las monedas pase a los súper aburridos sellos (pocas novias a lo lejos), luego a las gomas de borrar (silencio, amagos, risas, carcajadas, lo siguiente), y un día dije voy a hacer una colección que sirva para algo.

Y dijiste pues máscaras de gas… Sí, porque un día cuando haya un incendio, una infección, o epidemia y cogeré mis máscaras y me salvaré yo y los que mejor me caigan.

Precavido o ansias de futuro… Nunca se sabe, he de contarte querido Rafiki que llevo más de 7 años trabajando en las principales capitales de China (Shangai, Beijing, Shenzen, Hong Kong…) y aún no he logrado ver el sol; debido a las nubes de las fábricas. Hoy en día vivimos una nueva realidad, la gente está implementando en sus vidas una velocidad que va a hacer que esto explote.

Truco, consejo o sugerencia para la juventud española… Varias a mi entender: primero el orgullo de ser español, segundo la búsqueda de nuestra identidad como pueblo, nuestra personalidad ancestral, nuestra historia, nuestra creatividad de buscar soluciones a los problemas, todo eso hay que aprovecharlo. Tercero, fomentar el trabajo en equipo. Y lo más importante de todo, valorar y apoyar formalmente el talento. Donde veas talento, no lo pises, no te aproveches de él, no lo desprecies, únete a él. Y recordar:

“En esta mundo cruel, nada es verdad ni es mentira, es todo el cristal con que se mira”

ximo rafiki

XIMO LIZANA, is professor, consultant, robot, business man, cybervillager and artist from above.

This alter ego of the most android comes from … Joaquin Valencia (started well …).

A business man from digital field with more contacts than Pipi Estrada, in uem (Universidad Europea de Madrid)) is dedicated to … teaching to think. The uem have 2 levels of professorship: on the one hand who belong to an academic structure. And on the other hand linked totally with the working area (professionals and entrepreneurs) in a direct way. I want enthusiastic students in a specific concept, who offer solutions in the future.

A private education features... that you are not just a number of many. The media make a difference. Here we are in constant ideas recycling and updating.  This world is more endogamic, it promotes an international point of view with a list of values of teamwork, originality and dynamism.

The most attractive thing of Hoya de Huesca (Aragón, Spain) is… neither. Since my own experience Aragon os like those expression “al montañés, ni le pidas ni le des”. It means No matter what you order or give to that people, they are always going to reject your proposal.

However, there emerged important guys like Saura, Goya, you for example... perhaps the best thing about growing up in a place so close (distant in confidence), is that there are all with a very strong personality. There are villages of 30 inhabitants where each has its role in life. Everyone feels unique. Unlike cities such as Madrid, where overpopulation absorbs your identity. You feel like an ant in the anthill.

A summarize or personal thought of the next influeces…

- Nam June Paik: The taste for light

- Chico Mac Murtrie: The interest for every technologic archeology. The value of a rusty machine or a spot of paint on the floor.

- Stelarc: It’s my conceptual father. The body is obsolete. And this man creates a way of life through technology. The tech allows you to get where the natural human stupidity would not be able.

Humanized robots or robotic humans… cyber humans, the power of a robot is on the person who owns it. In the future will be very important current neuroprosthesis, invasive systems, augmented reality contact lenses, or exoskeletons able to allow lifting more than 20 pounds of heavy objects.

Ever heard of the giant seed … yes and it gives bad feeling. We live in a transgenic world that it is getting out of our hands. People are dying of cancer.

The art combined with technology is… just a different style more.

It’s art … anything a person does carefully placing a feeling, and with a personal story behind, which could project in that creation.

The next … we will see the world of art connected with large corporations. In the near future an idea will be submitted and materialized in front multinationals. That is, the artistic ideas related to the brand values. Pure branding. Thus, profitability is reciprocal, the artist does not take risks with necessary media in the process, while pay off for enterprises through image and marketing. We could call it an industrial project with artistic component.

A good business is characterized by … something essential. Something that the receiver can not jump. A new idea, a redesign, or a perfect association with brands that people wake up in the religious feelings (extreme loyalty) as Apple. The people with an iPhone is not going to go back to a Samsung. Also certain brands have a strong social commitment, a psychological value difficult to overlook.

You’ll never be able to … repeat twice the same work of art.

Three things that you’d take to a desert island … a solar cooker, a fishing rod, (why I want the famous knife if I can directly choose the cane and survive?) and a reliable girlfriend (laughs).

In a Venetian party, it must to be very difficult for you to choose the fetish object … I think that in a tainted future the beauty will be through a gas mask. Therefore, to determine if a person belongs to high or low social class, we will have a mask of gold, silver, … or a certain funny drawing. A Venetian party, I guess I would take one of the latter course.

Collections are a vice … Yes, at first collected coins (fastly used), coins pass the super boring stamps (few girlfriends in the distance), then erasers (laughs in crescendo), and one day I I will make a collection that count for something.

And you said gas masks … Yes, because one day when a fire, an infection, or epidemic surround us, i will pick up  my masks and I get save and my related.

Cautious or forward-looking … You can’t know, Ishould say, my dear Rafiki, that over 7 years in the major capitals of China (Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hong Kong …),  I have not managed to see the sun because of clouds factories. Today we are experiencing a new reality, people in their lives is implementing a speed that will make it explode.

Trick, advice or suggestions for spanish youth … Several in my opinion: first proud to be Spanish, second search of our identity as a population, our ancestral personality, our history, our creativity to find solutions to problems, all that we must take advantage. Third, encourage teamwork. And most important of all, assess and formally support the talent. Where you see talent, do not step on, do not take advantage of it, do not despise them, join them. And remember:

“In this harsh world, there is no truth or lie, everything depends on glass with which you look”

Super Snow Mario

In the most seriously freak country as Japan is, i have discovered a new kind of spectacule: The Super Mario Snow Park created in Kumi Yama. Now this event has become famous due to participation of the best freesking and snowboarders of the world. Attractive snow tracks which are involved in a magic full scenary: carnivorous mushrooms, the big assasin gun, or with the overpopulated necessary stars.
