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

History of the Sky captures the fluid atmospheric phenomena above the San Francisco Exploratorium in timelapse format. Each frame is a single day, shots taken every 10 seconds.
Stunning.

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.
data to hang on the christmas tree

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.

the sea level rises and Switzerland becomes a series of islands
Posted October 22nd, 2009 at 12:42 pm. There are 0 comments.
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.
