The Bank of London and South America in Buenos Aires, designed by Clorindo Testa in collaboration with SEPRA Studio, was completed in 1966 and stands as a significant work in the history of Argentine architecture, embodying the Brutalist style. This building is celebrated for its innovative use of reinforced concrete, forming a monumental and sculptural presence in the urban landscape. It challenged traditional architectural forms by integrating the building into the cityscape, creating a continuum between the external city streets and the internal space of the bank, which was conceptualized as a covered public plaza. Clorindo Testa, known for his role in introducing Brutalism to Argentina, brought a unique artistic sensitivity to the project, which is evident in the sculptural treatment of the building's columns and the dynamic interplay of solid and void in its design.

The works of the internationally acclaimed installation artist Tobias Bradford are currently being exhibited in the 'As My Eyes Adjust' exhibition at the Company Gallery, New York. Bradford experiments with a form of animated sculptural installation - incorporating concepts from mechanical engineering, robotics, illusionism and puppetry in order to create environments and objects which are to some degree autonomous or disembodied. An object which appears to act on its own interest disrupts our notions of self-agency, and the friction between rational thought and one’s emotional experience of the world can be intensified when in a situation with conflicting sensory information. Similarly to how a word can become absurd when uttered repeatedly, an action or a moment which is stuck in a loop can reveal some of the strangeness of everyday life. #tobiasbradford #installationart #installation #movingsculpture #sculpture #animatronic #robotic #robotart #companygallery #newyorkartgallery #modernartmuseum #contemporaryartmuseum #art #museum #artnews #artsnews #artist #museums #contemporaryart #exhibition #gallery #museumsnews

Bilateral or mirror symmetry means that an organism can be divided into two identical halves along a central axis. This symmetry is common in many animals, including humans. Key Points: 1. Definition: The left and right sides of an organism are mirror images of each other, divided by a central plane. 2. Evolutionary Advantage: Bilateral symmetry aids in movement and navigation, supports the development of a central nervous system, and facilitates complex behaviors. 3. Facial Symmetry: Often linked to attractiveness and genetic fitness in mate selection, as symmetrical faces are perceived as healthier and more stable in development. 4. Body Symmetry: Allows for balanced and efficient movement, crucial for walking, flying, or swimming. 5. Examples: - Mammals: Symmetrical limbs and organs. - Birds: Symmetrical wings and feathers. - Insects: Symmetrical body plans and wing patterns. 6. Variations: Some animals, like flounders, develop asymmetry as they mature, while others, like corals, exhibit radial symmetry. In essence, bilateral symmetry is essential for efficient movement, sensory processing, and evolutionary adaptation in a wide variety of animals. Video by Kevin McGloughlin
