Peregrine Icon, Gold leaf & gouache on panel, 25 in. x 25 in., ©2024. Peter D. Gerakaris

A self-described free-range child from rural New Hampshire, interdisciplinary artist Peter D. Gerakaris is known for using a vibrant style to honor endangered and exotic flora and fauna. His artwork and large-scale installations appear worldwide. He returns to the Berkshire Botanical Garden (BBG) this summer, where his Spotted Owl Mosaic was installed in 2021, a permanent, site-specific piece that continues to delight visitors of all ages. “It really doesn't become a complete artwork until it engages with its audience through the garden setting,” says Gerakaris, who was married at BBG and says that his upcoming show is like coming home. The Spotted Owl Mosaic is translated directly from a painting in his Icon Series, works that involve the meticulous process of applying gold leaf to create luminosity reminiscent of traditional Byzantine icons. Gerakaris’ Icon Series transposes endangered and rare species of flora and fauna into Neo-Byzantine iconography. Owls were his first Icon motif; the series now includes aquatic life, orchids, and pollinators. Peregrine Icon, pictured here, is his most complex Icon painting to date. “Society's disconnection with the environment is central to my work,” says Gerakaris. “The work strives to mend this divide and hopefully inspires conversation about how nature and culture can meaningfully converge.” He lives and works in Cornwall, Connecticut. His solo exhibition, Microcosms will include Icon paintings on panel, small mosaic fragments translated from details of existing Icon paintings, origami sculptures, and works inspired by topographies and native species of the Housatonic River Valley. Leonhardt Galleries at Berkshire Botanical Garden, June 7–August 4; opening reception Saturday, June 8, 5–7 p.m.

It suddenly caught my eye when the article I was reading automatically switched to content related to ML88. I had originally intended to close the page after finishing the article, but the name seemed intriguing, so I decided to take a quick look. A brief browse revealed a well-organized interface; the categories aren't cluttered together, making the overall layout easy to follow. I explored a few other sections and found the response speed to be relatively fast, with simple, straightforward navigation.

While reading through community comments, I came across mentions of https://ml88i.org/ and decided to check it out out of curiosity. I mainly took a quick look at the content presentation and overall layout rather than exploring every section in detail. My initial impression is that the interface is quite intuitive, with sections logically organized and easy to follow. After a brief look, I went back to following the other topics I was interested in.

Sau khi tình cờ thấy GG88 được nhắc đến trong một bài đăng trên mạng, mình đã truy cập vào website để xem thử. Mình không đi sâu vào từng nội dung mà tập trung quan sát giao diện và trải nghiệm điều hướng. Theo cảm nhận ban đầu, website có cách trình bày khá mạch lạc, các chuyên mục được sắp xếp theo từng khu vực nên người dùng dễ theo dõi hơn. Tóm lại, đây là một website có bố cục đơn giản nhưng hiệu quả.

b52club ban đầu làm mình nhớ mấy trang mình từng lướt trước đây, kiểu cứ lo mở ra là rối mắt rồi lại phải thoát vội; ai dè vào thử thì thấy khá dễ thở, màu sắc không bị chói, chữ cũng không dày đặc nên đọc lướt vẫn ổn, mình chỉ ngó qua vài phút thôi chứ không có ngồi tìm hiểu kỹ nội dung; cái hay là mấy phần thông tin đặt thành từng khối nhìn tách bạch, liếc qua là biết đang ở đoạn nào, không có cảm giác bị nhấn chìm; mình cũng thích cái menu nằm chỗ dễ nhìn nên chuyển qua lại không phải kéo lên kéo xuống nhiều; nói chung dùng kiểu “lười”…
