Piene's art hooks into a worldwide concern for ecology, for redesigning man's physical consciousness. But he considers his show in Pittsburgh the merest sketch for future projects. These include a mile-long arch of hydrogen-filled balloon flown over the sea, to be exploded at dusk by an electric spark; vast towers of flame; and a scheme to incorporate the sun into art by turning it black, red or blue with optical "veils" hung between it and the earth. What will the ecologists make of that...
...earliest possible return to earth. Even worse, the second oxygen tank was now also rapidly spilling its precious cargo. Unless the venting could be stopped, there would soon be insufficient oxygen aboard Odyssey. Oxygen was essential not only for breathing; it would also be needed to react with hydrogen to produce power in the remaining?and apparently undamaged?fuel cell...
...available by the carload for commercial purposes. Several countries produce substantial quantities of phosgene, a "choking agent" now used in plastics, paint and pharmaceuticals. Ten countries, ranging from the Common Market nations to Communist China, produce a yearly total of more than 1,000,000 tons of hydrogen cyanide, a deadly "blood gas" used in dyes. A similar quantity of ethylene oxide, used in detergents and disinfectants, is turned out; mustard gas, World War I's most effective chemical killer, is easily derived from the compound. The latest nerve gases have close cousins in common organophosphorus pesticides...
There have been hundreds of Freudian films: Fellini Satyricon is probably the first-and certainly the most important-Jungian one. In the course of two hours and seven minutes, images, totems, and archetypes rise and burst like hydrogen sulfide bubbles from the marsh of the collective unconscious. The unsynchronized sound track has the timbre of racial memory, echoing some eternal dream time. The film's devices are, in fact, so frenzied and eruptive that they tend to obscure an artlessness of thought or substance. Perhaps it is just as well; the Fellini Satyricon is manifestly made...
After the war, Conant was appointed to the General Advisory Commission, where he, along with J. Robert Oppenheimer and other committee members, advised against the development of the hydrogen bomb...
