Descriptive Camera

Matt Richardson created a camera which doesn’t deliver a photo but a description of the photo it made. After the shutter button is pressed, the Descriptive Camera sends the photo to Amazons Mechanical Turk for processing. Somewhere someone receives this photo and writes a short description about what’s on the photo, that person receives a small payment for this task. As soon as that text comes back, a thermal printer outputs the result in the style of a polaroid print.

Nicky Assmann’s ‘Solace’ Art Installation Explores the Iridescent Qualities of Soap

If you’ve ever been completely mesmerized by the amazing colors that appear on soap bubbles, then you will love Nicky Assmann’s award-winning Solace art installation. Comprised of a mechanical device that gradually slides a long swath of soapy film (made up of glycerol and water, mostly) upwards from a flat platform along with a sophisticated array of lights, the demonstration reveals how the film refracts light as gravity pulls the heavier water down

James Turrell, Skyspace, 2000

Lights are programmed to flood the underside and/or walls of the buildings in response to variations in the natural light visible through the aperture cut into the roof. As the sky transitions from light to dark the interior lights generate a range of hues in the skyspace.
