art that is goldsworthy.

So now that I have told you how great the Apple TV is, I will talk about the documentary we watched on it the other night - Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides: Working With Time.

Andy Goldsworthy is one of my favorite artists. He is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist living in Scotland who produces site-specific sculpture and land artsituated in natural and urban settings. His art involves the use of natural and found objects, to create both temporary and permanent sculptures which draw out the character of their environment.  It is just beautiful to watch him use the earth to create such masterpieces.  The photography is a key part of Andy's art to let others see how time effects the change. 


Here are some of my favorites: 

"My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made." - Andy Goldsworthy

we feed our tv an apple a day...

A fabulous Christmas present Justin and I got was the Apple TV from his brother, Brandon.  With Apple TV we can rent movies and shows directly from our phones.  It connects to our TV through the HDMI cable and connects to our computer through our wireless.  (Dudes, I know you are with me...chicas, are you still there?) Our I-phones have an app that acts as a remote.  (As you see below, it comes with a remote as well).  The latest thing Justin added was the Netflix rentals.  We are able to rent the movies right to our set.  Other very cool features include access to the iTunes Store and media streaming from our iPhoto and iTunes libraries.  The best part is that is small and very discret, so you put it in any room.
