… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

Virtually visit your favourite Dutch galleries and museums

RNW,  4 April 2012 , by Frank Renout    


Ever wished you could see Van Gogh's sunflowers, but didn't have the cash to fly to the Netherlands? Or maybe you wanted to see Rembrandt's famous Night Watch, but Amsterdam was a little far to go. Now you can see both paintings - and thousands more - without ever leaving your home - or at least your internet connection. As of this week, 32,000 works of art from 151 art museums can be seen online in Google’s Art Project.

Dutch art is well represented in the project: the Van Gogh museum allowed all of its 161 paintings to be photographed by Google’s high-resolution camera; the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam included 112 works; the Hague’s Gemeente Museum added 52. There is a virtual tour of the architectural treasures in Amsterdam's Royal Palace and 25 works from the city's Rijksmuseum (there would be more Dutch masters online if the museum was not in the middle of a large-scale refurbishment).

The cost of copyright

Not everybody has been quite so eager, however. Galleries with more recent work, such as the Kröller-Müller, may face copyright issues. A Kröller-Müller spokesperson explained to de Volkskrant, “We have to pay for the rights for a lot of works. For a Mondrian for instance we have to pay a fortune to the copyright holder in the United States.” The gallery has only given permission for 15 works so far.

Nevertheless, the museum’s website features a positive message from director Lisette Pelsers:

“Participation in the Art Project is a logical step for the museum, as it fits seamlessly with our view on public outreach: to bring as many people as possible – nationally and internationally, physically and virtually – into contact with the museum’s collection. Kröller-Müller worldwide; that was already the case for the visitors to our foreign exhibitions. With Google Art it now applies to all.”

Zooming in - 1000x

Martin Pronk of the Rijksmuseum attended Tuesday’s launch of the official Art Project website at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. “Look, here you see our Night Watch by Rembrandt online. Let’s zoom in.”

He points to the screen, “Can you see the man with the eye and that cap behind the riflemen? They say that is Rembrandt himself.” You can hardly see the little chap on the real painting, but these images have a resolution of 7 billion pixels, creating images with about 1,000 times more pixels than an average digital camera.

“You can even see a patch of light in his eye. And see the brush strokes around the eye. It’s larger than life. Fantastic. Here you can see what you can’t in a museum.”

Making art available to everyone

The Art Project began a year ago as a pilot. At first there were just 1000 works of art from 17 museums, most of them in the United States and western Europe. Now 40 countries are involved, from National Museum in Tokyo to the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg and from the British Tate Modern to the MoMa in New York.

“What we are doing is using technology optimally to promote culture and make it visible,” says Nelson Mattos, one of Google’s top technological people. “But we also want to make art available to everyone. From a flat in Tokyo to the slums in Rio de Janeiro: anyone with an internet connection can see the world’s masterpieces for free.”

And it's not just art that's on view. Using Google's Street View technology, the 'walk-through' feature of the project allows anyone to take a virtual tour through the Van Gogh Museum or the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.

No Mona Lisa

But not all art institutions are as enthusiastic about throwing open their doors. The Louvre is refusing to join the project, but Mona Lisa is keeping her lips tight shut as to the reason why. Other artists that are conspicuous by their absence are Picasso and Piet Mondrian.

“That’s a question of rights,” explains Amit Sood, who came up with the concept. “We have nothing to do with that. We never tell a museum what we want. They choose which art they want to show on the Art Project, but any museum that works with us has to conform to the desires and demands of the copyright holders.”
