The3six5 in 2011: We want YOU! A Day in the Life of the MIT Community. A Day in the Life of MIT (ADITL) is a neat project in which members of the MIT community take pictures on a particular day and then pool the photographs together to provide a snapshot of what life was like on that day.
ADITL 2010 happened yesterday, and hundreds of people contributed images to the collection. While the concept is far from unique (the New York Times did a similar project earlier this year), the nerdy folk over at MIT devised a pretty interesting way of browsing the images. They’ve given each contributor a timeline, with tiny thumbnail slices along the timeline indicating at what time during the day the photograph was captured. New York Times Lens Blog Launches Global Social Experiment. The New York Times’ Lens blog is attempting a project similar to the worldwide 4am project we covered recently.
A Moment in Time is an attempt to capture a slice in the history of the world by allowing readers to submit photographs taken at Sunday, May 2, at 15:00 hours (U.T.C.). While the photographs don’t have to be taken exactly at the specified time, they ask that you try to stay within minutes of the target. Once you’ve taken a photo, submit it through submit.nytimes.com/moment.
