Brien Knep

The work that Brien Knep is sharing with our class in New Media is very helpful and
reassuring to learn about...I was at Woodshole this summer and saw many of the
similar materials in frog research on display in the glass encased exhibits
...the work at woodshole was research on the cleanliness of the sea...the fish and
marine life are tested for the pollutants that might be present in their systems.

The path of the frog and its parallel to the survival of the life of a human is
interesting....it is refreshingly different from the boxes of animals taught to
travel in maizes for their food...

So are the worms on a plate...and the study of worms is known to me through researchers
at Harvard who studied the protein gene and the work of composters who breed worms
in order to fertilize compost ....the work of the worms on the plate has a humorous
side to it....I once studied impressionist painting and heard my strict european teacher
disliking modern art...and described it as worms dipped in paint then allowed to
squiqqle on a canvas...just a thought.

But the biological work is reassuring...it is helping energy to grow in the right
direction ..that was my overall general conclusion.
