A very interesting set of photos showing a diorama of a mountain scene mixing two-dimensional paper cut outs of people, trees etc. (almost southpark style) on a clearly homemade three-dimensional range of mountains.
The artists are Adrian Nießler and Catrin Altenbrandt of Pixelgarten.
A brilliant little animation by Rhubarb Zoo combining photo with cartoon renderer and a tiny bit of tilt shift thrown in for good measure.

Taking some images of a recent installation in London, I decided to play off the k810 against my freshly unboxed iPhone, actually I took along the old k810 expecting the iPhone to be crap at photography. The images have not been retouched in any way other than resizing. The left is the iPhone the right is the Sony Ericsson k810i. As you can see the difference in quality is quite something.
Of course, I am forgetting that the k810i takes photos about 30% bigger and does all sorts of panoramic and multi-shot stuff and has a flash. But what’s the point in having big images if they look crap?
An exceptional stop-motion animation using cut out photography, created by Goodwin Films.

Some lovely playing with scale in Julia Fullerton-Batten’s Teenage Series of photographs. All of her photographs (even the more recent) have an air of being not quite right.

Pointless, yet mildly entertaining…the DanceWriter dances the letters you type and allows you to send a cryptic ‘dancewritten’ email to your unsuspecting friends.

A collection of weird and wonderful digital portraits by French artist Bertrand Demay or Beb Deum as he likes to be called. I thought this one was particularly apt for today.

Balancing on the more cynical side of clip art, illustrator Christoph Niemann creates these wonderful, light-hearted, often satirical designs.
His website is well worth a browse, if not just for the smooth and simple design of it (even if there are pages called ‘Untitled Document’…pff…what a waste of google keywords). Oh yeah, and half of the javascript ‘enlarge image’ links don’t work properly…little annoyances for some really great graphics.

So it actually looks like Sun Ra wasn’t too far off when he recorded the album for the film obscurely referenced in the title of this post.
This video is worth turning the sound on, for just 30 seconds or so, to hear the sound emitted from Saturn. If only it actually sounded like this on the surface of Saturn (and yes, I know it is a gas-giant so technically doesn’t have a surface).

This is a very entertaining gallery of 25 photographs taken at the exact right time, and they aren’t kidding either.
