A Science-Minded Artist Shrinks the Universe to Human Scale
Katie Paterson's work has always been about Earth, and the great vastness beyond. A Scottish multidisciplinary artist, she has worked with scientists across the globe on exhaustively researched projects, including The Future Library, an anthology of 100 previously unpublished books written by some of the 21st century's most celebrated writers. In 2022, astronomers helped her count the times the sun has risen since the Earth was formed — to the most accurate level scientists can — for a piece titled '—there lay the Days between—.' Years earlier, she had worked with scientists specializing in light at the firm Osram to develop lightbulbs that simulate the lunar glow. And yet, 'I never want to go into space,' Paterson said in a video interview. Asked whether her works are portraits of Earth or of us, she said, 'It's going to be us.' 'If all those cosmic sequences hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here breathing and talking together,' she explained. Ultimately, she said, in all her work, she has always been trying to 'get a little bit closer to that understanding of quite how precious life is.' That lifetime pursuit underpins three current projects: a series of paintings on view in an exhibition in Cumbria, England, and 'Afterlife,' which will soon be installed at the Folkestone Triennial 2025 in Kent, England; and 'True North,' which has taken Paterson from Japan to the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, where she has just completed a residency.

Warehouse worker nabbed over theft of RM120,000 in chip components
BAYAN LEPAS: Police have detained a 26-year-old man suspected of being involved in the theft of PMU0123 chip components belonging to a multinational electronics company operating in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone. Southwest police chief Assistant Commissioner Sazalee Adam said preliminary investigations revealed that the company conducted an internal audit and reviewed closed-circuit television footage, which led to the identification of the suspect, a former employee, as a suspicious individual. "The suspect is believed to have taken eight units of the chip from the company's store and sold them to unknown individuals near the bus stop in front of the Osram factory. "Further investigation is underway," he said when contacted. Sazalee said the arrest was made in the vicinity of the Teluk Kumbar police station. He said police also seized an iPhone 12 Pro Max belonging to the suspect. The case is being investigated under Section 381 of the Penal Code, which addresses theft by a clerk or servant. It specifically targets individuals who, while employed as a clerk or servant, steal property from their employers. The punishment for such theft is imprisonment for a term that may extend to seven years, and they can also be fined. On another matter, Sazalee said police nabbed a 56-year-old man on suspicion of robbing four bracelets from a child in Kampung Seronok on April 29. "The suspect, who is unemployed and has a criminal record for 22 drug-related offences and two criminal offences, admitted to being involved in the incident," he added. The case is being investigated under Section 392 of the Penal Code for robbery, which carries a jail term of up to 14 years, and may also include a fine or whipping upon conviction.
