A tangible way to make audio visible. Equalizers and simple sub-titles on TV already visualise sound, yet this has also a physical texture. Using an old sewing machine and a car radio as a basis, they conceptualised a prototype, which would take sound input and convert it into a sound wave of thread on textile. A fitting analogy between music production and sweatshop manufacturing.

Fotograf Jeff Marmelstein hat jahrelang heimlich Leute beim Texten in der Öffentlichkeit fotografiert- also ihre Inhalte. Spannendes, auch medienethisch provozierendes Projekt.
(Könnte aber auch inszeniert sein.)

One of Rembrandt van Rijn’s most iconic paintings The Night Watch is currently undergoing restoration at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. As part of the effort, the team took hundreds of photographs of the Dutch master’s painting and stitched them together into a massive 44.8 gigapixel image, which they have released online in a zoomable interface. The level of detail available here is incredible. Here’s the max zoom level on the right eye of the gentleman in the middle, the captain of the company that paid Rembrandt to do the painting.

Google Arts & Culture, with expertise from music video geniuses La Blogothèque, have produced a series of videos they’re calling Art Zoom. Inspired a bit by ASMR, the videos feature musicians talking about famous artworks while they zoom in & out of high-res images taken with Google’s Art Camera.
