Chris O'Shea - Audience
Awesome project using mirrors, cameras and programming. The mirrors "chat amongst themselves" until something catches their eye, then as an audience they all track that thing until they become disinterested and either track something else or go back to talking to each other. Make sure to check out the videos. I would love to be involved with something like this.

I don't really condone graffiti, but this stuff is remarkably well done. It is by an British, pseudo-anonymous artist named Banksy. A website of his work lists his manifesto. Certainly thought provoking if nothing else.

I am going to try to keep this from becoming photography and videography day on adeepblue, but you got to check out this article on wired about the Red Cameras. From the article:
It's more than that: His team of engineers and scientists have created the first digital movie camera that matches the detail and richness of analog film. The Red One records motion in a whopping 4,096 lines of horizontal resolution?"4K" in filmmaker lingo?and 2,304 of vertical. For comparison, hi-def digital movies like Sin City and the Star Wars prequels top out at 1,920 by 1,080, just like your HDTV. (There's also a slightly higher-resolution option called 2K that reaches 2,048 lines by 1,080.) Film doesn't have pixels, but the industry-standard 35-millimeter stock has a visual resolution roughly equivalent to 4K. And that's what makes the Red so exciting: It delivers all the dazzle of analog, but it's easier to use and cheaper?by orders of magnitude?than a film camera. In other words, Jannard's creation threatens to make 35-mm movie film obsolete.
A Red camera was used to shoot the video that I linked to a couple of days back with the slow motion skateboarders. This is pretty cool for the future of video, not to mention the much more casual videographer.

So Kodak has released their
Flip video killer,
the Zi6.
Scott Stevenson with the review:
The Zi6 is clearly inspired by the Flip Video, and has a form factor similar to that family of devices. The main advantages of the Zi6 are that it can record at 720p HD resolution at up to 60fps, has a bigger screen, and the native video file format is H.264, so it's Mac compatible out of the box. The Zi6 also has a fixed macro mode, which it appears the Flip does not.
720p HD at up to 60fps! That is really quite something for such a small form factor.
I have a flip video ultra and love it for what it is. The zoom is basically worthless, but for recording some small video clip it is worth every penny. I basically use the flip video camera like a point-and-shoot camera the way I would compare my canon hv20 HD camcorder to my canon DSLR's. Quick and dirty verses slow but better.
Amazon has the
Kodak Zi6 for $180 and you can compare that to the
Flip Ultra for $120.
I have to say even though I have never maxed out my flip yet, I would think the ability to use the expandable SD memory card in the Kodak alone is worth the extra 60 bucks. Anyone out there tried one of these Zi6's yet? What did you think?

Colors of Salt Ponds. You would never think that salt ponds could have such a range of colors.

DNA Model Art Projects is a collection of photos of art made out of DNA. You really need to see it to understand. I wouldn't mind having a couple of these in my office.
