graffyard is visual embed tags for the city
Posted May 18th, 2010 at 11:57 am. There is 1 comment.
graffyard makes past graffiti made visible after it has been cleaned up.
It’s a nice example of encoding the visual history of the city onto itself. One can imagine a future where city walls have a secondary digital presence and all advertising, graffiti and signage takes place via a persistent visual augmented reality system. The city becomes a contiguous blank canvas, a physical platform encoded with embed tags for the reality we want to see. Maybe.
google mail envelopes

Love the idea of making maps into envelopes, even with the limitations of having to send all snail mail south-easterly to get the return address and the recipient’s address properly positioned.
Like when Reason magazine did custom magazine covers with aerial photographs for each of their subscribers homes – in June 2004

Artist Jörg M. Colberg creates images that are compressed with a customized jpeg compression scheme.
ajpegis 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.

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.

Nice comparison showing the increasing size of a ‘compact car’ found over at Kitsune Noir as part of the desktop wallpaper project.

The Hand Drawn Map Association

The Hand Drawn Map Association is an ongoing archive of user submitted maps and other interesting diagrams created by hand. There are 150 maps submitted already including some lovely map collections.
Our current collection features a set of maps created by John Hutchison exploring his relationship to the 50 states in the US. The collection starts with a map representing all of the US states. Each successive map in the collection reveals a different set of states based on increasingly limiting criteria until we are left with only 1 state (his least favorite).
