The document provides an overview of maps and images documenting the mapping and development of London over time, from the 17th century following the Great Fire of London to the late 19th century. Key maps and images included are John Ogilby and William Morgan's 1676 map of London after the Great Fire, John Snow's 1854 map showing the Broad Street cholera outbreak, Charles Booth's 1889 maps depicting levels of poverty in London, and various maps and sketches showing the expansion and modernization of the city, including the construction of docks and embankments along the Thames.
British Baroque began after Parliament executed its kings. Parliament was in ascendency. It was a parliament of the land gentry and aristocracy. This slideshow covers a period of increasing confidence. It is the art the aristocracy and their aspirations. An interesting point was that this ‘revolution’ did not pushed ahead by the native English artists but mainly continental artists. Nearly all the artists covered by this slideshow were from continental Europe. Although some settled down and created something of an English paintings.
The Impact of Science & Technology on Victorian LondonJIM MUKERJEE
Paper submitted for course on History of London, England, at University of Oxford, UK, July 31, 2013. The paper describes the innovative technical contributions of Sir Joseph Bazalgette in designing and deploying the "intercepting sewers", in mid-1860s, which diverted surface water and sewage from the Thames, in the face of insurmountable technical and political odds. The resulting drainage systems under the Victoria, Albert, Thames and Chelsea Embankments helped eradicate cholera epidemics in London. "Bazalgette did more good and saved more lives than any single Victorian public official"!

Solar position within Monet's Houses
of Parliament

Birmingham B15 2TT, UK
Paintings from Monet's Houses of Parliament London series have been analysed for the
quantitative information they contain, by comparing the depicted position of the Sun
with Solar geometry calculations. The positions of roofline features of the Houses of
Parliament were measured to provide an internal scale for the determination of
azimuthal and elevation angles of the Solar depictions. Despite some distortion of the
painted motif, the internal scales were found to be approximately linear. The Solar
positions were used to derive the dates and times of the depicted scenes. The results
provide new information for assessing these paintings and are consistent with the known
period Monet was in London, suggesting that they contain elements of accurate
observation and may potentially be considered as a proxy indicator for the Victorian
smogs and atmospheric states they depict. The four dates Monet reports observing the
Sun over Parliament in 14 and 16 February and 9 and 24 March 1900, are all represented
in the series. The analysis also enables Monet's vantage point from St Thomas' Hospital
to be determined for the first time.

In this report, we investigate whether or not Monet's London series
(1899-1905), which depict the landscape and atmospheric state of London at
the turn of the twentieth century, contains real quantitative information. If

thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.
