I was applying for a lil Art show that goes in conjunction with a Texas glass conference I am presenting at later this year when I realized that I dont actually have any edited photos of the Big Cobalt Sunset Eclipse Sphere I made last year.

A few minutes in GIMP fixed that. Here are two that make it look a little rounder than it really is.

Doubtful that they will have the shipping budget... but also doubtful that they will be able to find something quite like it. Who knows, a Fort Worth business might really like it? The piece is inspired by the eclipse that want through there last year... and those beautiful Texas Sunsets.

This piece can currently be seen (partially) LIVE at this link

As part of a server sculpture I am actively developing for an upcoming show.

"Le #cobalt est essentiel dans les batteries lithium-ion, présentes dans les smartphones, les véhicules électriques et les systèmes de stockage d'énergie ."

La courses aux #ressources à la première place économique, à la pointe de la technologie.
Nous consommons trop. Ce n'est pas un système de #liberté.

quote: Contemporary debates around global inequalities associated with decarbonisation highlight how African populations must endure poor living conditions while the global north transitions to low-carbon technologies. We must find ways to move away from carbon-based economies that do not reproduce colonial inequalities. #congo #mining #DRC #cobalt

US #tech giants sued over DRC #cobalt mine child labour deaths

Legal complaint lists #Apple, #Dell, #Microsoft, #Tesla and #Google parent company Alphabet as defendants.

aljazeera.com/economy/2019/12/

According to estimations by Catapa, only 6% of the world population demands 25% of raw mineral materials to build electronic equipment. These materials come to the surface at the expense of entire populations. Enough is enough.

"Cobalt Rush – The Future of Going Green" explores the human and environmental costs of mining #Cobalt for #NetZero transitions. highlights impacts on #decarbonizing transport, dependency on few countries, and potential supply disruptions.

London School of Economics and Political ScienceCobalt rush: raw materials and the transition to net zeroThe decarbonisation of the transportation sector is a vital component in achieving the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. Consequently, governments around the world are pushing forward the transition away from combustion engine to electric vehicles. However, the production of electric vehicles necessitates the use of raw materials, such as cobalt. The movie sheds light into the human and environmental consequences of mining cobalt. Further, the mineral deposits on land are highly concentrated in just a few countries, making their global availability dependent on trade relationships and vulnerable to supply disruptions that may result from export restrictions, political instability or natural disasters. Such supply challenges have the potential to delay the transition to net zero, but also hold implications for the financial system and its stability.
