The morphoscopic and exoscopic analysis of quartz grains from the eastern sector of the Ebrié lagoon made it possible to determine the environment and reconstruct the sediment deposition environments. To achieve this objective, sediment samples were taken using a Van Veen grab and positioned by a GPS. They are washed with hydrochloric acid. Dry sieving produces medium quartz grains (0.5 - 0.25 mm). The selected quartz grains are observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The morphoscop...

In “Everything”, Lei Dehou argues that the “modular system” was a relatively common mode of production in ancient China. In the field of contemporary art, modular production is a unique production mode created by artists, which is different from “original creation” in traditional art. In this production mode, artists no longer create on the basis of “original” works. Instead, they transform their works and concepts into different modules. Different from the “original” artistic forms in tradition...
