In this edition: beautiful pictures, crazy places, mathematical love stories, mash ups, visualising stock markets, music production, sleeping insects & perpetual creatives.
- Incredible photos of the Bombay Beach & the Salton Sea here & here. The largest inland body of water in California, once touted as the “American Riviera”, now a polluted ghost town.
- Math tells us 3 of the saddest love stories…
- Absolutely beautiful illustration work from Johan Thörnqvist
- I am not an artist is a project collecting little animated gifs celebrating/commiserating the paranoia of non stop design workers from international contributors.
- Wait What has mashed up The XX with Notorious B.I.G. and the result is a full album released as a free (albeit 128kbps – ewww) dowload, The Notorious XX. On first listen a little disappointing, but something you might like to check out anyway. (You can also preview the whole thing over on Soundcloud if you don’t want to commit to downloading it)
- Miroslaw Swietek captures sleeping insects covered in dew at 3am, making for some otherworldly photos. Apparently he is married. I wonder how his wife feels about his hobby?
- The Hobnox Audiotool looks like a pretty powerful piece of audio production kit. Definitely something you could spend a few hours playing with.
- Michael Najjr has an awesome set of images that visualise stock market indexes by creating mountain ranges from photographs he has taken (via information aesthetics).
