The Return [Canon 5D] December 8, 2006 (click in the image for a larger version) This is not a double exposure, nor a digital collage. One of the reasons I am posting this (apart from the fact that I think it's a very cool image with a lot of potential meanings swirling around) is to float the idea that you don't necessarily have to use multiple images in order to create what appears to be a multiple image collage. If the window in question is near where you live, then you can take the time to study the scene and note at what time of the day the reflections are the best. Of course, if you still shoot with film cameras, then planned double-exposures (or multiple exposures) can still be made the old-fashioned way. If you're curious as to just what this scene is showing, it's a tiny (one small room) natural history collectible shop that is a new addition to our town.

Jaw-droppingly beautiful installation work from Swiss studio Detektiv Bureau
Not that long ago, August in fact, we featured the work of designer Mathis Pfäffli and mentioned that he and his collective Detektiv Bureau were in the middle of a residency in Chicago. Well they’re still busy over in The Windy City but have just sent through some absolutely stunning images of what they’ve been getting up to since we last spoke. This vibrant installation has been constructed throughout the group’s living and working space, covering walls, floors, ceilings and furniture and transforming their habitat into a sensory barrage of movement and colour. Crafted from painted polythene the colourful surfaces create a flimsy membrane that breathes with the ebb and flow of air through the space, meaning no surface is ever wholly still. We think the visuals speak for themselves – simple, stunning stuff!

Metafolksonomy and the Social Web: Introduction - The ENTiPping Point
When you start to have more than a couple dozen folks that you follow on Twitter, the prospect of managing the relationships you're creating starts to get a little overwhelming. We've all met great people on social media sites. And there is usually some singular trait that drew you to interact with these great people. However, as you get to know them, watch their Twitter stream and see who else they interact with, you probably get to know more interesting things about them. So what may have started out as a business relationship interest, over time, the total picture of that person starts to become clearer. You may notice an industry pro talking about his grandmother who just used to live next to Abraham Zapruder. Maybe you find out someone went to pastry school while they "searched for identity" before becoming a CPA. You might discover that someone who has been so hard to get a response from on Twitter actually shares your love for collecting frog figurines.
Five Projects Awarded Prizes at the 2014 Media Architecture Biennale
The 2014 Media Architecture Biennale has drawn to a close in Aarhus, Denmark, and with it five projects have been awarded for “outstanding accomplishments in the intersection between architecture and technology.” Representing five different categories (Animated Architecture, Spatial Media Art, Money Architecture, Participatory Architecture, and Trends & Prototypes), these five projects are the ones that most represent the Media Architecture Biennale’s goal to advance the understanding and capabilities of media architecture. The winners include a power plant with a shimmering chimney tower, an installation that creates “phantoms” with light, an interactive LED facade, a crowdsourced mapping system for transit in the developing world, and a kinetic “selfie facade.” See videos of all five winners after the break. Winner, Animated Architecture: Energy Tower Facade Lighting / Erick van Egeraat Winner, Spatial Media Art: Light Barrier / Kimchi and Chips

Dominic Wilcox: creatividad y la reinvención de lo cotidiano
Lejos de la eficiencia en la construcción de objetos, el trabajo del artista y diseñador británico Dominic Wilcox órbita en los terrenos de la invención, la fantasía y el humor. Wilcox es un inventor y pensador de la cotidianidad, que crea objetos ingeniosos y herramientas con la esperanza de hacer la vida más fácil, o por lo menos, más entretenida. En su visita a Pratt Institute en 2015, conocimos el proceso de trabajo de este diseñador graduado en diseño industrial y comunicación visual en el Royal College of Art, quien utiliza el dibujo y la ilustración para comunicar ideas y contar historias. En una búsqueda sincera de esa loable empresa los artefactos de Wilcox toman una variedad de formas: maracas, cepillos de dientes, máquinas de mezclar cereal o tazas de té con sistemas de refrigeración. Objetos que muestran otra perspectiva de la vida cotidiana. “By doing the ridiculous, something else might come of it”. Información Dominic Wilcoxwww.dominicwilcox.com
iPad: Scroll or Card?
by Oliver Reichenstein How do you navigate content on the iPad? Scroll or flip? In 1987, the biggest neck beards in tech held a conference on the Future of Hypertext and there were two camps, “Card Sharks” and “Holy Scrollers”. They had an epic battle over the following question: Should you scroll or flip pages on the screen? Let’s first look at how the discussion went. As happens in every new field, a struggle is already taking place over which hypertext methods are the best, with creators defending their philosophies. In practice, it’s pretty clear who won the debate: 99% of all websites scroll and most desktop applications scroll when they display a lot of information. Cards have a fixed-size presentation canvas. Source: Jakob Nielsen How do we know when to pick which model? When to Use the Scroll Model The scroll model allows you to easily separate content and design.

the year that i was born : photography : 1972 by Noriaka Minami : architecture : Nakagin Capsule Tower by Kisho Kurokawa : tokyo | openhouse
text and photos via somewhere i would like to live In the city of Tokyo, a building stands as an anachronism in relation to the surrounding landscape. The building in question is the Nakagin Capsule Tower designed by Kisho Kurokawa (1934 – 2007), one of the leading members of an experimental architectural movement in the 1960s called Metabolism. This prototype for life in the 21st Century ultimately proved to be an exception rather than the rule, as the first capsule tower became the last completed in the world. Like this: Like Loading...
