The structure of the human body is...
...encrypted in the pentagram (too long title). This journal entry is an explanation for this one: The pentagram/pentagon is based on the golden ratio. The grid in this picture is one of Penrose's mosaics, also derived from the golden ratio. The positions of the nodal points are not random. There is nothing mystical here. Or no, on the contrary, it is the deepest mystery over which the greatest minds of the past fought and never solved it. For example, Johannes Kepler was looking for a mathematical formula for the harmony of the Universe all his life. He did not find it, but as a by-product he became one of those who founded modern science. (by the way, Penrose's mosaics are based on Kepler's ideas). If you learned to draw at art school or from books, you know what composition is. This is a set of rules, it is advisable to use them when creating a picture, so that it looks "complete". Now do a thought experiment. In the countryside, just look to any side of the horizon. Now

Hi guys,
Some time ago I posted this one: http://leadbirdie.deviantart.com/journal/Porn-as-negative-feedback-loop-in-pop-dynamics-279173393
It was a try to discuss a role of porn in modern world. I am sure that this role differs from the porn in pre-internet era (where I am from). Huge amount of porn and easy access to it has altered a mankind slightly (advanced part of it, where traditions and religions are dissociated, being replaced by new toys) . As former biologist I see a noticeable decreasing of birth rate in countries of mature economies (and good internet access). Porn acts in complex with "child free" movement, LGBT and feminism.

When I was a little kid, dinosaurs were already dead, but Soviet Union yet alive. I was in kindergarten. Geographically it was in small republic near border with Iran and Turkey and I could see the Mount of Ararat through the window of our game room.
As you know Soviet Union was a terrifying totalitarian state where all children got education by uniform program. One of the most important point in this education was a propaganda of international brotherhood and other communist shit. So every communist holiday we had to make children's matinee which must demonstrate an inviolable friendship of Soviet Nations. Kids had to impersonate 15 Soviet
Boundaries: update
I want to thank everybody who dropped a comment in my previous journal about boundaries in art ( http://leadbirdie.deviantart.com/journal/Boundaries-333036093 ). It's really interesting for me to know what you think.
Now I am going to tell you about my personal "supertaboos" in art and in simple pics production for wide public.
The motto "There are no boundaries in art" sounds very strangely for me. Because I think "No boundaries - no art (and even primitive culture)". Even animals have taboos. The only living objects without limits are cells of cancerous growth:)
The art and any creative activity is a play with boundaries and limits, it's
