I went to see this interesting project by artist Susan Collins at the De La Warr Pavilion yesterday, a nice combination of the interweb and photography: "digital seascapes created by images captured from webcams overlooking the sea, sited at different locations along the south east coast of the UK. The webcams are sited in each location for a period of 6-12 months, recording at different rates over the course of the year... ..Each image is constructed from data collected from top to bottom and left to right in horizontal bands continuously, marking visible fluctuations in light and movement throughout the day and being archived at regular intervals. At any one time, the viewer experiences a different version of the image as the pixels change and the piece evolves"
Over the weekend this sign was spotted at the Diesel store on Carnaby Street. Great to see wooden type being used in a contemporary way.
Oooh there's some very nice photography and all round creativeness to be seen over at a nice idea every day. Here's a few photos taken from some of their collections. Their tests, virals and animations are quite captivating too - deerhoof, coke zero and neonman are particularly super.
Back in November 1982, on a rainy afternoon, two friends in New York started recording sounds from the arcade machines they were playing. Using a Sony Cassette Recorder they kept it up for 6 years. The tapes were forgotten about until the late 90s when 14 of the tapes were rediscovered.
