Stunning.

Artist Jörg M. Colberg creates images that are compressed with a customized jpeg compression scheme.
tags:computation photographyajpegis a new image compression algorithm where the focus is not on making its compression efficient but, rather, on making its result interesting.
ajpeg is intended to go the opposite way: Instead of creating an image artificially with the intent of making it look as photo-realistic as possible, it takes an image captured from life and transforms it into something that looks real and not real at the same time.
data to hang on the christmas tree
January 11th, 2010 at 3:42 pm 0 comments.
Personalized custom christmas tree ornaments made by Really Interesting Group for their friends with each friend’s own social network data. Snowman’s head is number is Twitter followers, length of drips from cloud is Dopplr data, horizontal red bars for number of tracks scrobbled monthly on last.fm and the blue one shows the aperatures used on photos posted to flickr. Friends without data on a particular network got a 404.
Of course Really Interesting Group are the ones behind the excellent Newspaper Club.

I don’t remember seeing this in particular at the Swiss EXPO.02 but a number of artists working together under the name Waterproof “imagined a(n) (im)possible scenario wherein the water level in Switzerland rises to 1400 meters (4600 feet), turning the landlocked, Alpine country into an island nation, its rocky peaks rising above a vast ocean.”
The series of images over at Pruned show an imaginative take on how the Swiss might deal with their new situation.
