New attack on freedom of expression Australian police seize artw New attack on freedom of expression By Susan Allan 15 February 2006 In an unprecedented attack on democratic rights and freedom of artistic expression, police in the Australian state of Victoria illegally, and without any prior warning, removed an artwork displaying a burnt and tattered Australian flag from a Melbourne gallery last month. Created by Azlan McLennan and titled Proudly unAustralian, the flag was on a billboard on the first floor outside the Trocadero Art Space gallery. Police did not inform either McLennan or Trocadero’s owners that they planned to seize Proudly unAustralian. The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) and the Australian Lawyers for Human Rights immediately condemned the police actions. While police have since claimed that they acted in response to public complaints, gallery director Michael Brenner said he had received no objections to the billboard. McLennan has been a particular target.

The Best Travel Stories on the Internet Seam carving: content-aware image resizing Ariel Shamir and Shai Avidan have presented the coolest digital image effect I have ever seen. “Seam carving” allows an image to be resized non-uniformly, so you can change the height to width ratio in the image without cropping, but also without distorting important features in the image (such as faces). If I understood the demonstration correctly, the algorithm detects horizontal and vertical paths which span the whole image and have the least gradient magnitude along the span. When resizing an image, the pixels along these seams are stretched or removed, leaving the rest of the image untouched. Areas of an image that absolutely need to be preserved can be manually excluded, and the seam generating function will negotiate paths around those pixels. You need to watch the video to really see this in action, but the technique can also be used to remove whole portions of an image without perceptible artifacts. Related
