Welcome to your watchlist Look for the plus icon next to videos throughout the site to add them here. Interview “Lick and Lather” Janine Antoni discusses her 1993 work, “Lick and Lather.” ART21: Let’s talk about your sculpture, Lick and Lather. How was it made? ANTONI: I wanted to work with the tradition of self-portraiture but also the classical bust. So, the way I made it is: I took a mold directly from my body. I used a product called alginate, which is the kind of material that you might be familiar with when you go to the dentist, that sort of minty tasting stuff. It’s an incredible product because it gets every detail, every little pore. I even cast my hair. So, I started with an exact replica and then I carved the classical stand. I made a mold, melted down thirty-five pounds of chocolate, poured it into the mold. And when I took it out of the mold, I re-sculpted my image by licking the chocolate. So, you can see that I licked up the front and through the mouth up onto the nose, over the eye and back up over the ear onto the bun, and then down in the back around the neck.

Junya Watanabe x Vanson Rider Jacket (2007) Junya Watanabe's Fall/Winter 2007 collection remains one of his most striking to date. The collection was an ode to biker gear, with most of the looks paying homage to the leather motorcycle jacket in some shape or form. The collection deconstructed the motorcycle jacket into its component parts—collar, belt, zips—and re-distributed the details onto an array of garments. The majority of the models that walked the show donned full on motorcycle helmets further hammering in the point. It made sense then that Junya would turn to Vanson—one of America's largest producers of motorcycle apparel, pants and biking accessories for the leather pieces. The classic rider’s jackets from the 2007 collection are faithfully executed variants of the original; sharply cut while adding in subtle signature details like the camouflaged inner liner. The best part about the leathers from this collection is that they don’t compromise at all in terms of weight or utility. The leather is actual competition weight calf-leather, suitable for the road but made with the runway in mind. In subsequent collections Junya has continued to work with Vanson on other American classics, including a varsity jacket and a leather tote bag.

Laerryn Coramar-Seelie Laerryn Coramar-Seelie is an elven wizard who served as Architect Arcane of the city of Avalir. She is played by Aabria Iyengar. Description Appearance Laerryn is tall, lanky, and dark-skinned, with pretty, angular eyes that glow gold. She wears ornate, glowing gold clothing with a purple cape.[7] Personality Laerryn has no patience for small talk.[8] She is one of the smartest people in the city[9] who took a vital but under-appreciated job working in the basic infrastructure of the city.[10] "If she wanted glory, she could just pick a different job and immediately get the praise her talents would garner. Instead, she dedicated her life to quietly and dutifully protecting the Heart of Avalir, and expanding on the city’s mission statement (travel the ley lines collecting knowledge and magic to share with the world)."[11] Laerryn's goal was to perfect the Astral Leywright, a new engine that she had created[12] to build a new ley line road through to other Planes of Existence[11] that would allow the city to travel not only across the face of Exandria, but to realms supernal, where a city of mortals might walk as equals with the gods themselves.[13]

CYAN "The lesson will be taught in due time, Aloy. Until then, we wait."This article contains heavy spoilers. Read ahead with caution. CYAN, an acronym for the Caldera of Yellowstone Analytic Nexus, is the governing artificial intelligence of Project Firebreak and a main character in Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds. History In the Old World CYAN was created in the mid-21st century by Anita Sandoval, the lead programmer of Project Firebreak, an underground complex built to stabilize the Yellowstone Caldera and prevent it from erupting. CYAN's purpose was operating the immense machine complex.[2] Like a smaller-scale GAIA, she was designed to be capable of limited emotions and empathy in order to perform her duties as a governing AI.[3] These capabilities, however, were kept a close secret between Anita and Kenny Chau, the project director, as they were in direct violation of the Turing Act of 2044.[4] When the Faro Plague began to wipe out the world, CYAN was left to keep the facility running, but had to hibernate to remain hidden from the Swarm and not be taken over.[5] CYAN had one final, emotional conversation with Chau in which he told her to be strong and go to sleep, and that someday she would have to protect humanity's survivors. Before Chau left, CYAN asked him to stay with her while she began hibernation, as she was afraid of being alone; Chau gladly fulfilled her wish.[6]
