Animated stereoviews of old Japan

Animated stereoviews of old Japan
28 Oct 2009 In the late 19th and early 20th century, enigmatic photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. [Sumo wrestlers] A stereoview consists of a pair of nearly identical images that appear three-dimensional when viewed through a stereoscope, because each eye sees a slightly different image.

VIDEO. L'expo événement sur Neandertal ouvre au Musée de l'Homme Le diorama bleu vert luit doucement, passant des saisons chaudes aux saisons froides, un ours montre son museau, un loup hurle, un feu crépite dans la plaine. Pas de doute, cette animation aura un bel "effet immersif " et permettra au public de voir passer plus de 300.000 ans en accéléré. Marion Paquié, régisseuse des objets et son aide débarrassent un puissant bison empaillé de son voile de plastique… en faisant bien attention à ne pas piétiner les minuscules lemmings. Ici, un ouvrier fixe le socle d'un lagopède et d'un renard blancs… Plus on loin, on peint, on découpe, on dispose les objets en vitrine, dans des bruits de marteau et de scie. Nous sommes dans les coulisses de Neandertal l'expo, la prochaine grande exposition temporaire du Musée de l'Homme qui nous invitera, à partir du 28 mars 2018, à poser un œil neuf sur cet " autre ", ce cousin préhistorique disparu il y a 40.000 à 35.000 ans. Episode 1 : La mauvaise réputation Episode 2 : Un stratège… amateur de galettes

<< artomat >> 3D Gif Photography Check out the photos in KEXP's review here Lost Marvels of Revolution-Era Russian Theater Unfortunately, the photographs of the actors are all that remain of this 1908 premiere of Maeterlinck’s Blue Bird, produced by Stanislavsky. A descriptive play-by-play of the performance can be found in the 1920 book The Russian Theater Under the Revolution by Oliver Sayler (thanks, Google book search!), but all other images of this art noveau-inspired production have been lost to time, despite Sayler’s valiant attempts to preserve more for posterity, recounted in the book: I asked Stanislavsky eagerly for photographs of scenes from “The Blue Bird” or else for the original designs of the scenic artist so that I might have them copied… the photographs, I was told, were not available – except those of the players themselves – for the originals had been made by Fischer, a German, and had been destroyed in the pogrom at the beginning of the war in 1914. Yep, 1908 is definitely going to the top of my “If I Had a Time Machine” list. Well, not really!

Escape Into Life Stephen Vuillemin / acevee Afflicted: 11 Abandoned American Hospitals and Asylums “Open” for Exploration With some of the most disturbing and tragic histories of any buildings in the US, asylums and hospitals are way beyond creepy . Many of them were built in the late 1800s, when “mental illnesses” (such as masturbation, menopause, and teenage rebellion) were considered dangerous enough to lock someone in an asylum. A pain-inflicting misunderstanding of mental illness combined with a chronic mistreatment of its sufferers meant that many people were never released and spent the remainder of their lives in these horrible institutions. In addition to asylums, many sanatoriums were constructed around this time to care for the poor and very sick. Utilizing radical treatments that were incredibly painful yet ineffective, early hospitals often created more suffering than good for the inflicted. To make matters worse, infectious outbreaks forced patients to be quarantined from the rest of society, further isolating them. If you decide the risk is worth the reward, we didn’t send ya. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
