Digital archeology

The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition "Digital Archeology"

With a large exhibition, including works from his most famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to 31.

For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale performance in the city where he was born.

The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.

The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic, Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:

Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting technology and our uncertain future and insight into the way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "

Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas for unity between art, architecture, design and technology. He studied art at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.

He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988), EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich (1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery, Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

Shipbuilder sued by owner, operator of ship in deadly Baltimore bridge collapse


The owner and operator of the container ship involved in a deadly Baltimore bridge collapse in March 2024 are suing the ship's builder, alleging a defective control panel design caused a power outage that led to the disaster.

The Dali twice lost power as it was departing Baltimore harbor and drifted out of control into a support of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, collapsing the span and killing six highway workers.

The collapse also caused an extended supply chain snarl at the Port of Baltimore, which hosts a major coal terminal and had been the leading U.S. hub for vehicle imports.

In a lawsuit filed July 31 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and operator Synergy Marine Private Limited accused Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the ship's builder, of negligence that caused the fatal incident.

The plaintiffs charged that a defective design, specifically a loose wire in an electrical switchboard, caused a power outage at 1:25 a.m. the night of the collapse, cutting power to the engine and steering systems.

The National Transportation Safety Board in a 2024 report found that a cable that should have connected to a control for blackout protection was loose. That could have caused the switchboard to lose power without being detected.

Grace Ocean and Synergy Marine have denied wrongdoing since April 2024 but late that same year agreed to pay $102 million for civil claims brought by the federal government and other incident-related costs. 

The plaintiffs are seeking damages for vessel repairs and coverage for any third party claims.

ONE shows China an alternative way to power ships at port


Japanese containerline Ocean Network Express (ONE) has for the first time utilised shore power during lift-on and lift-off operations of an alternative marine power (AMP) container in a Chinese port.

This was done ahead of a symposium which shared best practices and explored innovative approaches to shore power utilization.

Before the symposium, ONE held a trial and commissioning of its AMP container at Ningbo Zhoushan Port Group's terminal. This approach is a proven method of reducing emissions while in port. 

When vessels equipped with AMP facilities which do not have a fixed type cable reel or an onboard AMP container arrive at a port, a containerized AMP unit stored at the terminal is lifted onto the vessel to enable shore power connection. Before the vessel departs, the AMP container is lifted off.

"The use of an AMP unit is a familiar and effective approach within this industry. To be successful, close cooperation among various concerned parties is necessary. We believe this will contribute to carbon footprint reduction in a practical and expedited way, and hope it is a good symbol of collaboration among relevant parties," said Hiroki Tsujii, ONE's global chief officer.

During the symposium, attendees witnessed a live demonstration of the AMP container and shore power usage on a vessel equipped with an AMP container − a vessel successfully connected to shore power and the country's first ship-shore collaborative mobile AMP container power connection mode after its commissioning.
