Here is a great Infograph showing how much longer we will have various materials at different rates of consumption. Check out the full size over at New Scientist.
Great little interview of Jon Gertner, a New York Times Magazine writer. The world is now spending billions of dollars investigating the causes of climate change. Scientists are quickly putting together physical and biological experiments and projects, hoping for solutions and models that will show us how to slow warming and save the planet. But there's another body of work underway that's focused on the human brain. This research argues that climate change policy and solutions for global warming won't be worth much until we know how to influence the individual decisions that cause global warming.
This is a mesmerizing flash site. It makes me want to buy a Benz that much more. One of the best interactive sites I have seen.
Timescapes Timelapse: Learning to Fly from Tom @ Timescapes on Vimeo.
Pink Floyd's Learning to Fly may help this video but it is still incredibly mesmerizing. It was captured with a Canon 5D Mark II during winter and sprint 2009. You must get the 1080p video from here.
I have messed around with this art form a bit, but have not produced anything close to what these guys are doing. These photographs were captured through what at least one group of awesome Germans are calling Light Art Performance Photography. Practically, all that means is long exposure photography capable of transforming a dot of light into a solid string when moved. The performance aspect is, presumably, that these photos are acted out in one continuous shot.
The video above is the first act of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra’s performance at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, April 15. After selecting 96 musicians from more than 3,000 videos submitted to YouTube from around the world, the debut exemplifies how the Internet has revolutionized the way artists communicate with fans, and with each other.
Prior to the performance, conductor Michael Tilson Thomas told the audience:
Hit the link to check out Moby's new music video. I have never really been a big fan of Moby, but this video makes me interested in his new album. You just have to love David Lynch. See for yourself.
Animal lover Steve Leonard explains the secret behind the spectacular footage of birds of prey in flight used in this short video. Take a flight with a Golden Eagle in Scotland with the help of the ultra lightweight animal camera. Great short video from BBC wildlife show Animal Camera. Link
Tiny spy cameras allow you to see some of the world's most magnificent birds in flight. Watch this video to learn how the fastest bird on the planet, the peregrine falcon, keeps control at mind-numbing speeds, and take a flight with the master of manoeuvrability, the Gos Hawk, as it flies through dense woodland. Great animal video from BBC wildlife show Animal Camera. Link
Russian WW2 veteran is reunited with his tank, which has since been refashioned into a monument.
I think he has it down.
This is a great photo set with some of the best photos I have ever seen of the Aurora Borealis. The site also includes info on each photo and some description about how this occurs.
On of the greatest and most original stop motion videos I have seen in a while. My mind got a little blown.
Samuel Cockedey’s gorgeous “remanence : variance” was shot over the course of a year from different locations around Tokyo. I recommended clicking HD for this one.
Does this remind you of anyone? Almost the identical performance as Juquin Pheonix.
The Voca People is an international vocal theater performance that combines vocal sounds and an acapella singing with the art of modern beat-box. All vocals – no instruments.
