5 Artistic Uses of Google Street View Mark Wright is a freelance arts writer and assistant editor of the Image Source blog. People are using Google Street View for more than checking travel routes. You can use the mapping tool to test hotel neighborhoods, to take virtual tours of the world’s most famous art galleries, or to arrange imagery for innovative photography and video projects. SEE ALSO: Top 28 Google Street View Sightings The Google Street View (GSV) car, fitted with 15 directional cameras, captures panoramas from over 30 countries – but not without controversy. Aaron Hobson’s Cinemascapes project helps to remind us that Google’s mapping tool still has its virtues. And his photo collections are only the beginning. 1. Photographer Aaron Hobson has combed GSV to find breathtaking images of mountain passes, crossroads and forests heavy with fog. Hobson became “addicted to this world of virtual travel” after using GSV to scout locations for a film he is directing in Los Angeles. 2. 3. 4. 5.
The Rubiks Cube Solution - StumbleUpon How to Solve the Rubik's Cube in Seven Steps The world's most famous puzzle, simultaneously beloved and despised for it's beautiful simple complexity, the Rubiks Cube has been frustrating gamers since Erno Rubik invented it back in 1974. Over the years many brave gamers have whole-heartedly taken up the challenge to restore a mixed Rubik's cube to it's colorful and perfect original configuration, only to find the solution lingering just out of their grasp time and time again. After spending hours and days twisting and turning the vaunted cube in vain, many resorted to removing and replacing the multi-colored facelets of the cube in a dastardly attempt to cheat the seemingly infallible logic of the cube, while others simply tossed it to the side and dubbed it impossible. The Rubik's cube, it seemed, had defeated all. Humanity required a solution, so intelligent gamers went to work to take down the so-called "frustration cube".

See How the World’s Most Polluted Air Compares With Your City’s The floating particles on this page depict microscopic particulate pollution called PM2.5. The number of particles you see here represents the upper limit for “good” air quality, as defined by the United States Environmental Protection Agency: 12 micrograms per cubic meter over 24 hours. We made our best guess for your location, or you can pick another.This is pollution in New York City on the worst air quality day this year. Particulate concentrations reached 41 µg/m3 during the highest hour, a level that would be considered “unhealthy for sensitive groups.” Compare that to the air in California last year, when a thick blanket of smoke from the Camp Fire descended across the Bay Area. Particulate pollution hit nearly 200 µg/m3, well within the “very unhealthy” range when people are advised to limit outdoor activity. PM2.5 can evade our bodies’ defenses, penetrating deep into the lungs and even entering the bloodstream. A Year of Fine Particulate Pollution DAILY Air quality based on PM2.5
Artist Measures Visitor Attention Span With Kinect-Powered Tape Measurers "Tape Recorders" (2011) by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer from bitforms gallery on Vimeo. How much time do we spend looking at a work of art when we’re in a museum or gallery? Do we really take the time to reflect and let the work sink in? Or do we simply breeze by in an effort to see as much as possible? Some studies suggest that the average visitor only spends about 5 seconds looking at each work, but Mexican media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has found a different way of measuring this interaction. Lozano-Hemmer’s new installation Tape Recorders takes a more physical approach to calculating the answer to this question. The installation’s awareness of its visitors seemingly has the effect of making them stay longer, incentivizing their attention with the tapes’ impending crash and recoil. Tape Recorders, along with several other works by Lozano-Hemmer, will be on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney through February 12th, 2012.

A first phase in which the database is going to be designed. A field survey is required in order to integrate the available inventories and catalogues focused on cultural heritage sites in Cyprus, with the main goal to estimate the geographical position of the site of interest in order to correctly displays those sites in the aforementioned WebGIS application. In addition to the storage of the coordinates of the cultural heritage sites, geo-referenced frames will be collected during the survey itself. The last phase of the job will consist in a training course aimed at transferring the know-how and the technical skills needed in order to manage at best the final output of the whole job, the WebGIS.

Create Amazing Paintings With Just Your iPad Art. It’s something we all aspire to from the earliest of age and a pursuit of all humankind, including ancient cave and modern city dwellers, folks from the suburbs and people from the Renaissance. Head into any art museum and you’ll see paintings along the walls made with a variety of styles, techniques, and philosophical points of view. Would you like to “brush up” on your painting skills? Practice drawing with colored pencils, pen and ink, water colors? How about acrylics, oils, or pastels. I’ve tried many different apps for art on the iPad, and (so far) this one takes the crown. The app looks just like real paint, with thick oil paints and blending tools like sponges, water, and smudge sticks. The app allows you to import your own photos and images as well, and you can export any canvases you create to your photo album. Combined with a stylus and the app’s virtual pressure sensitivity, Art Set allows a high degree of realism in any art project you choose to create with it.
