LABORATORY SERIES 23. Artist An-My Lê’s Small Wars: Rescue, 1999-2002. Gelatin Silver Print, Edition of 5, 26.5” x 38.” Small Wars is a meditation on the effects, consequences and imagery of war, from Vietnam to Afghanistan. While the photograph captures Vietnam War re-enactors in Virginia and North Carolina, the protagonist in Rescue is the natural landscape. Her work is as much about the image of combat as it is about the condition and space that it is reproduced within. Photo Courtesy of the Artist and Murray Guy, New York.

LABORATORY SERIES. No.17. Lunchbox Laboratory by Futurefarmers + the Biological Sciences Team, National Renewable Energy Lab. Algae is considered a viable form renewable energy with the potential to produce biodiesel. However, the very abundance of it makes it tedious to determine which strains are most productive. Lunchbox Laboratory is a prototype for a research tool that would be distributed to schools to allow young scientists the chance to initially screen a collection of algae strains. Only the most productive strains would reach official labs. Photo Courtesy of Futurefarmers.
