Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Paul Thanks for this. I have seen this particular cartoon, and some similar ones, before. It doesn't quite respond to what I said below, dealing as it does with the notion of art as commodity. It is a kind of short, cartoon version of the story of The Emperor's New Clothes. It does however

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Graham It is really good to hear from you again. Hopefully it won't be too long until we can get together for a wee chat. I don't think Katie has set out to shock people with this work. Although I have to say when I first heard about this project way back in 2010, I was actually shocked or at

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Daniel No argument from me that we should leave the original entirely as it was found, no matter what that object is. Yet, we see and read about this happening all the time. Across the northern part of England (and I mean England here and not the UK), the Romans built a large structure (it

Re: [meteorite-list] How Many Meteorites Fall Each Year?

Hi Sterling, Anne and all, I couldn't find much on the fall rate in Sterling's link, but did a search on the meteorite central site and came up with a lot of results for those who want to pursue fall rates. Link below. Best!

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Ok, so now I have to give my two cents...sense! I too do artwork involving meteorites, love the hunt, and collecting. I might note that no meteorite was harmed in the making of my work! (I don't even like the idea of slicing one into pieces, but that is my own issue, and it is done every day,

[meteorite-list] Meteorite falls, NEXRAD changes and recovery rates

Hi Anne, Thanks for the shout-out regarding meteorite recovery via all-sky camera triangulation and Doppler radar. I have some bad news as far as the radar angle that I thought I would share, which may help explain some of the recent downturn in meteorite recovery rates -- at least in the U.S.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Sculpture by Katie Paterson

Hi Laura, Peter, Anne, David, List, Honorable Chairpeople, In generating discussion, the artist has succeeded. If that was one of the goals, then the artwork was a success in the eyes of some. We are still talking about it, which I am not sure says more about the art itself or the state of

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite falls, NEXRAD changes and recovery rates

Thank you Rob, Thanks for the clear and thorough explanation. Yes, radar was not invented to please meteorite-hunters. It would have been nice, but . back to the old ways! Anne M. Black www.IMPACTIKA.com impact...@aol.com -Original Message- From: Matson, Rob D.

[meteorite-list] Melted meteorite art

I rarely post anything anymore but I do read most of what comes from this list. This melting of a meteorite to remake it was pointless to me when I first heard about it months ago. Unlike some of those who have posted I am an artist. And no matter how hard I try I cannot understand this. I use
