On the first episode of THE FOOD SEEN in 2012, Caren Alpert, a San Francisco based photographer, takes a closer look at food … a much closer look. She uses a scanning electron microscope for her “terra cibus” project, magnifying the surfaces of food between ten and a thousand times, abstracting their textures, making them seems as if they were bird’s eye views of otherwordly landscapes. Table salt looks like ice floes, cauliflower resembles a canyon/chasm, fortune cookies turn into tributaries, and my favorite, cake sprinkles.

"I thought why not take a closer look at what we eat every day...Sugar looks otherworldly under the microscope."

This week on Burning Down the House Curtis covers the unholy scandal of Charles Windsor, Prince of Wales, firing "damn good modern architect" Sir Richard Rogers in an attempt to muscle out the modernism and shuffle in the preferred aesthetic style of the Third Reich. Tune in for the actual letter Windsor wrote to give Rogers the boot, and for an excerpt of a whining speech he gave at The Royal Institute of British Architects 175th anniversary.
