das grau des grundes
liegt schwer und flach
abgetragen alles in jahren
kein fluss mehr kein bild
die gleichheit nimmt sinn
im angekommen sein
stirbt bewegung

"Ich bin eigentlich immer allein, auch in meinem Privatleben, am liebsten. Ich bin sicher, dass nur so irgendetwas entstehen kann, man nur so diese Konzentration aufbringen kann. Oder umgekehrt ist es so, dass nur extrem introvertierte, vereinzelte Leute überhaupt auf die Idee kommen, etwas so idiotisches zu machen, wie Kunst."

„Wir müssen anderen Menschen Platz machen. Es ist ein Rad – man springt auf und fährt bis zum Ende, und dann hat jemand anders die Gelegenheit, bis zum Ende zu fahren, und wird seinerseits von einem anderen abgelöst. Es gibt nichts Neues unter der Sonne.“

Vivian Maier

"Once I get the OK on the roughs I start the finished drawings. I sort of begin this stage slowly, because doing the finished work always ends up being a seven-day week. An all day, and all evening ordeal. I always anticipate I can draw the books faster than I can. That is a big mistake, since it adds a lot of anxiety, and aggravation to the project. I thought I had developed a system with the last one. I worked on the book in batches of 15 pages or so. I even kept a record to see how long it took me to do the pencils, and how long it took me to do the inks, but it still ended up being seven days a week for a couple of months. I find I have to get some momentum going when I draw. I can't work with interruptions. I like to have three or four days where I don't even leave the house on an errand. I get a lot more done that way, because I build up a head of steam."

"As mathematicians discovered new algorithms, and computers became available, the number of known decimal digits of π increased dramatically. The vertical scale is logarithmic.

For most numerical calculations involving π, a handful of digits provide sufficient precision. According to Jörg Arndt and Christoph Haenel, thirty-nine digits are sufficient to perform most cosmological calculations, because that is the accuracy necessary to calculate the circumference of the observable universe with a precision of one atom. Accounting for additional digits needed to compensate for computational round-off errors, Arndt concludes that a few hundred digits would suffice for any scientific application. Despite this, people have worked strenuously to compute π to thousands and millions of digits.

This effort may be partly ascribed to the human compulsion to break records, and such achievements with π often make headlines around the world. They also have practical benefits, such as testing supercomputers, testing numerical analysis algorithms (including high-precision multiplication algorithms); and within pure mathematics itself, providing data for evaluating the randomness of the digits of π."
