A cool idea, digitally manipulating a video by fragmenting it horizontally then modifying the element of time in each strip. See the distortions for yourself. LINK

Inserting ants into picture frames culminates in some wondrous creations. Check out more of their ANTique framing results at Hugh's site. LINK

Fly Humor :: Magnus Muhr

Swedish photographer Magnus Muhr must have had some down time between assignments when he created this simple series of photographs. Though they have already made the rounds in the blogosphere, I can't help but appreciate how simple pencil drawings combined with dead insects can bring a smile to one's day. See them all at his website. LINK

Rewrite

Read this gallery window display to understand the project created by artists Micah Lexier and Christian Bok. I find the rewrite particularly impressive.

Tiger Oil Memos

The viewpoints of Tiger Oil CEO Edward "Tiger Mike" Davis, and his inability to refrain from sharing them, may explain why the company went backrupt in 1980. If you've ever thought you've had a bad boss, reading these memos could help you see him/her in a different light. LINK

Historical Facebook

These fictitious facebook posts by historical figures are quite funny. You may want to think twice before sharing with your children though, not so much for the occasional language issues as the need for explanations. Oh, and don't miss the link to Part 2 at the end. LINK

Miracle on the Hudson Resurrected

This time-lapse video shows US Airways flight 1549 (the miracle on the Hudson) being resurrected from the icy waters. The ice on the water makes it particularly fascinating to watch, let alone the huge scale of the cranes. LINK

codeco is a collective that looks at the digital in real life. In this video, we see a demonstration of their real-life tetris game (which is for sale or rent if you can figure out what Spanish-speaking country they are in.) LINK

555 KUBIK :: Urban Screen

So far, this is one of the better building projection projects I've seen, somewhat because of the building surface that was the background. See the video for 555 KUBIK on Vimeo. LINK
