Love these interactive sound posters created by a Brazilian advertising agency. The campaign is for Saxsofunny, a sound production company, entitled 'Every Image has a Sound'

Zoom In and Out of New York

Alfonso Zubi­aga takes you over New York’s busy streets and through its most rec­og­niz­able land­marks. By zoom­ing in and out of every­thing from its iconic sky­scrap­ers to its trade­mark yel­low taxi cabs, he takes us on a wild ride.

The series was shot in 2008 and that the photos were taken from the Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building as well as all around Manhattan over the course of 10 days. Using a single image, he reconstructed it digitally by successive layering and by centering the image in the places that piqued his interest the most.

"I wanted to evoke the feeling of vertigo in the city," he tells us. "New York is probably the most photographed city in the world, and my intention is to portray it in a different way than what has been done so far."

Kinect Graffiti

I love the hacks that have become with the Xbox Kinect. The stills look a lot like light painting/graffiti trend that's picked up with the rise of digital photography.

Kinect Graffiti™ is a digital graffiti tool using "Microsoft Kinect" camera. Idea behind this project is to use the kinect to track the motion behind graffiti. Visualizing the body and drawing trough different angles in real-time, understanding surrounding space, pausing the time, etc.

Minimalist Bird Photography

I've been on a kick of minimalism in photography lately. I found this set over at mmminmal that is a great roundup of birds and their creative, nature backdrop.

Chewing Gum Street Art

Ben Wilson has a rather curious hobby - he spends everyday on the streets of North London - painting on the blobs of chewing gum that deface London's pavements. Apparently painting on the pavement is illegal so he paints on chewing gum that is stuck to it. And not just painting them, but the attention to detail to create miniature works of art.




Check out a set of his gum art.

Tube Television

Photographs of tube televisions the moment they are switched off.

The Luminant Point Arrays show tube televisions in the moment they are swithed off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light. The pictures refuse external reference and broach the issue of the difference between abstraction and concretion in photography. The breakdown of the television picture discribes the breakdown of the reference. The product is self-referential photography.
