magma, an artist unit known for their unique creations using recycled materials, is holding their first major exhibition in seven years at PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO. Titled ‘TRICK HEARTS’, the exhibition reinterprets the traditional art form of trick art through magma’s distinctive color palette and unconventional worldview. Featuring collaborations with nine artists and brands, the exhibition invites visitors to experience a captivating world of visual illusions and artistic experimentation.
A series of unusual earthquakes near the border of Germany and the Czech Republic has raised the possibility of magma movement deep beneath the surface. These earthquakes, which occurred in the Vogtland region, are typically mild and last for several weeks. However, a recent swarm exhibited unique characteristics, including a northward shift in its center and an occurrence on a near-horizontal underground structure. While the exact cause of the earthquakes is still unknown, scientists believe it may be related to carbon dioxide bubbling up from magmatic fluids deep underground. The findings suggest that the region may have the potential for future volcanic activity, although this is not imminent.
Scientists have warned that more magma may soon break the surface in Sundhnúkur, Iceland, potentially triggering further volcanic activity. The current eruption, ongoing since March 16th, has been the fourth in a sequence since October 2023. Increased ground lift and pressure suggest that magma is replenishing subsurface chambers, raising the likelihood of another magma propagation event.
