The DRM (or Digital Rights Management) Chair is a commentary on the practice of building planned self-destruction into a particular digital product. After it’s been sat on eight times, the chair falls apart—just like a virtual DRM for digital files.

Mathematical Films of Manfred Mohr

Just stumbled across this collection of digital math and geometry films created by pioneering digital artist Manfred Mohr in the early 1970’s. This stuff puts most modern GIF artists to shame, and he made them in Fortran IV on a CDC 6400, which is considerably less powerful than Photoshop. They had to then be captured by a microfilm printer in order to be converted to 16 mm film!

Super cool look back at early digital art, though. Get inspired! Here’s another, “Cube Transformation Study”:

Carrier pigeons have won a race against rural broad band after delivering USB keys more quickly than a computer using rural broadband was able to download.

Sunspots

This was imaged with my Astro-Physics 152mm and DayStar Quantum PE .5 Angstrom filter and Flea2 video ccd camera. These images were taken 1 hour a part. — Randy Shivak

Sunspots are temporary phenomena on the photosphere of the Sun that appear visibly as dark spots compared to surrounding regions. They are caused by intense magnetic activity, which inhibits convection by an effect comparable to the eddy current brake, forming areas of reduced surface temperature. They usually appear as pairs, with each sunspot having the opposite magnetic pole than the other. [**]

I’ve been in love with Kim Asendorf’s Mountain Tour series since I first saw it in 2010. Since then, I’ve been trying to recreate a pixel sorting script in processing that would achieve a similar style. I think I’m finally circling in on his code.
