The Flock Series

The Flock Series by Adam Neate aren’t really paintings, but something like 3D collages. I really like them.

New Camera Offers 360° Panoramic View in 3D

webflies — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:14:12 +0000

The Electrical Engineering Institute at the École Polytechnique Fédéral de Lausanne, Switzerland, has developed a camera that can see 3D images in all directions. The design is based on insect eyes, which are hemispherical and contain many individual photoreceptors. Potential applications include gaming, media production, and robot navigation systems.

eBay has some strange stuff for sale, but the Titan 1 nuclear missile silo is one of the oddest.

The World’s First Book of Animals

webflies — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:13:58 +0000

For reasons unknown (but unquestioned, as it is pretty awesome), the National Institute for Health has a spellbinding flash presentation of Konrad Gesner’s entire natural history volume, Historiae Animaliam (yes, all 4,500 pages). Gesner was a 16th-century Swiss physician and naturalist, who published this famous compilation (the first pictorial catalogue of the animal world) in 1551, where it was henceforth, naturally, immediately banned.

An Audio function gives you historical context, while the Text tool gives a general translation of each section. You can print pages, rotate and zoom in on images, and, of course, spend far too many hours pouring over these beautiful ancient offerings.

Aside from the unicorn (which Gesner admits he is doubtful exists, but felt compelled to include anyway), can you find anything funny or interesting hidden within this tome? I’ll admit, I didn’t get through quite all 4,500 pages!

the shape of the pieces change in form from a square to an ‘X’ shape based on their position within the structure,
and in relation to the space. two of these layers can change in reverse to produce a gradated color on the exterior.

Con un battito di ciglia. Seetech

webflies — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 11:12:50 +0000

Lo scafandro del corpo, non impedì alla farfalla dell'anima di uscire e comunicare". L'8 dicembre 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby ebbe un ictus. Entrò in coma, da cui si svegliò tre settimane dopo, con un'unica parte del corpo dotata di motilità: la palpebra sinistra. Perfettamente cosciente, egli si ritrovò affetto dalla cosidetta "locked-in syndrome", termine che definisce coloro che mantengono una mente lucida e attiva all'interno di un corpo che non risponde più ai propri comandi.
