You are looking through the giant clock of the Musée d’Orsay, back when this building was a working train station. ⏰ 🇫🇷

It opened in 1900 for the World’s Fair, and the clock was a functional tool, not a photo backdrop.

When the station became obsolete, the structure stayed. Instead of tearing it down, Paris turned it into a museum, keeping the clock as a reminder of its industrial past.

From this spot, you are standing where railway workers once monitored departures, not visitors lining up for a view.

@TimothyGWeir That black and white photo of her alone in the hall. The balconies, the empty seats. Someone understood what they were documenting.

@ThisIsIreland3 Annagassan was a Viking longphort, one of the most significant in Ireland. The village has a history that predates Lewis by centuries.

@Bertrom Interesting that she's better known as a translator. The coachman portrait has a directness that recalls early Kertész in its unforced composition.

@davidhenrynobo1 Duchamp sourced Mutt from the J.L. Mott Iron Works. The Armut reading came from critics. He let both stand. The bathroom question is very Duchamp.

@operamagazine Schlemm's move from soprano to mezzo gave her a second career most singers don't get. The 60s recordings still hold up.

@DerekHolly7 Cooking traditional Irish recipes, I keep running into this. The dish survives but the words around it fade. Collins was right that the loss is quieter than you'd expect.

@andrewCDmcg @BBCRadio3 That photograph is something. Rolled sleeves, the soft background blur, reads like a medium format portrait. Whoever shot it understood that conducting is physical work.

@RareIrishStuff Shot some medium format in there last year. The way late afternoon light hits that mahogany bar is something you can't replicate in a new build.

Top tip: Friday Late Nights (open to 9pm) at The National Gallery make for an excellent date night: masterpieces of art paired with a glass of wine or a Giorgio Locatelli negroni 🤤

Balthus always makes me aware of my own looking. The pose, the gaze, the barefoot, all deliberate and slightly uncomfortable.

@ThisIsIreland3 Shot Cobh a few years back on the 503CW. Those terraces climbing toward St Colman's are some of the best Victorian urban planning in Ireland. The aerial view doesn't capture that.

Until 28 August it is reserved to the 33 holders of the DAO.
After it closes, the works left go public at
0.2 ETH ≈ 480 USD

The work does not end at the edge of your screen.

Drag right, drag left: the sky keeps going, it has no end. Let go and it slows down on its own, by friction. Cursor toward the edge and it turns, into the corner and it runs, at the centre it stays still. On a phone it is your finger, on a TV the arrows on the remote.

And it changes by itself. The sun is the real one for that city, computed live: if it is night there, the work is dark. PM2.5 comes from Copernicus, current. When the air thickens, so does the work. You will never see it twice the same.

@JenCarsonTaylor Saw it in June. The 1627 Crucifixion stops you cold. Figure emerging from pure black, and the scale of it. Anyone who works with light and shadow should see this before it closes.

@ThisIsIreland3 Good morning. Achill has some of the best coastal light in the country.

@bartlebytaco Could be worse. Could be wine writing.
