“Mapping Sitting: On Portraiture and Photography,” a project by Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari with the Arab Image Foundation. An installation of 3,600 passport photos – all the work of a single commercial photographer, Antranik Anouchian (1908-1991), who ran a busy studio in the cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic city of Tripoli in Lebanon, where Muslims, Christians and Jews coexisted. ++++
Walid Radd, as I have said before, rocks.
Early studies for 1-95, with beautiful drawings (check out the sections and perspectives). ++++ (via Coudal)
I need to read this, it MUST be good.
Also, I have taken to reading the very stimulating Le Coquette lately, which makes me only slightly jealous of the fact that some people get to live in Paris.
A bug-eating robot. It actually eats flies and digests them to get its power. Created by the good folks at University of the West of England. I am going to order a crate of cockroach eating ‘bots as soon as they are available, and let em loose under the sink.
We are enjoying a wonderful holiday break out in the Boston area. Eight inches of snow last night enabled me to go sledding today with a friends 3 year old and ma brotha. We had the little plastic toboggans, hitting speeds upwards of at least 4 mph!
Gorgeous panoramas from france, including Ronchamp. I saw them at TMN.
Well, I guess its all about Coudal this morning, because this link to Short Films About Flying I saw posted there sound like a brilliant idea. I have no sound at work, so I will have to check it out later.
Coudal Partners has a great solution to the loud, annoying person talking on their cell phone at the table next to you. Print em out and use em.
