Another slight variation on the image read experiment. This time, the variation is based on the mouse distance, both for images and the webcam.

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Buckminster Fuller’s exhibition at the Whitney is fantastic. On the first floor is the Dymaxion car, which, cool as it is, is surpassed by the beautiful technical drawings for it.
The fourth floor is where the main exhibit is, and there are some incredible drawings and models of experiments and projects of ranging scales. There were quite a few projects and many drawings, sketches as well as footage of Fuller that I had never seen before, and it was truly a treat.
I left the exhibition feeling a bit uneasy though: there has to be some level of insanity in someone that has such faith in technology as the savior. His completely ‘technocratic-utopian’ view seems in a sense harmless (even naive), yet it displaces man so swiftly.
Don’t miss the fantastic model and drawings of the floating city, the incredible sketch for the World Fair and his geometric models.
Cooper Union

Today was the opening for Cooper Union’s end of year show. I got to walk around the architecture and art shows and saw a lot of beautiful models, some great drawings, and a few fun/smart pieces of art.
The one above was one of my favorites: a hand crank break dancer + MC Hammer zoetrope. Can’t beat it.
See images of some interesting projects on view after the jump.
Darwin’s Works
Friday, April 18th, 2008
Charles Darwin’s complete works, as well as thousands of illustrations, letters and documents never published before, have been made available online. The collection is by far the greatest ever compiled on Darwin’s works and will be of course an invaluable resource, and not only for scholars.
Check out the Illustrations page for some incredibly beautiful drawings and diagrams.
