Björk's New Music Video

An incredible mash of live-action, stop motion, traditional 2D, CG and puppetry. They even shot a version of it in 3-D! Both the video and a behind-the-scenes "making of" are available below:

Mind Your Business

The Orphan Works Legislation is something that the US is trying to pass, that will make all created works not the property of the creator anymore, unless registered. That means, unless you pay to register your work, it is possible for anyone else to use it legally and make money off of it too!

Personally I find this could devastate the livelyhood of artists, photographers, animators, illustrators, and designers everywhere. Another way for rich corporations to get even more rich off of the art they had no part in creating to begin with by altering copyright laws in their favor.

The Deepest Canyon on Mars in Stunning High-Definition: New Images from the HRSC

This breathtaking 3D landscape was constructed with high definition images taken by the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board ESA's Mars Express orbiter. The new observations show Hebes Chasma, a strange mountain region nested inside the canyon, with channel-like fingers reaching out into the Martian landscape. The imaged region shows features down to a resolution of 15 meters per pixel, an awe-inspiring view!

The HRSC is currently looking down onto the Red Planet's surface, taking shots of the planet in full colour, in 3D and with a maximum resolution of two meters. The camera design allows it unrivalled pointing accuracy by combining images at different resolutions at each orbital pass.


See them in super high resolution here:

  • The entire Hebes Chasma at a resolution of 15 meters/pixel (1.2 MB)

  • An oblique-angle reconstruction view of the central mountain range (1.6 MB)
