'the official website for the photographer tim melideo' (Flash)
Comments:
A picture of three tall palms reaching into cloudy blue skies. A decaying shack in the middle of nowhere with more blue skies. "Remove valuables and lock your car," a notice between rooms 212 and 214. Stunning portraits. Extraordinairy photography throughout, but the series of cool shots taken in bathrooms is what I really wanna share...
Mutualism 3/29/07 Description:
a visualization of server activity (Java)
Comments:
David's Java experiment uses aggregated information from a specific server "to create shapes from the connections and fluxes between the users and object of interests, between a public area and the particular extensions to the private areas where the users are placed in the network space." A little abstract, I know, but it is a rather intriguing visualization, based on information captured daily since January, 2005... [Resrc]
Andrew Demirjian 3/27/07 Description:
video and new media art
Comments:
"What effect does mergers and consolidations have on the music that surrounds us?" Andrew illustrates the answer with Power Trio, wherein each of three instruments represent a big music comglomerate. During the period following the approval of a big merger, the stock prices of the three companies controlling 75% of the industry fluctuated and "the incremental increases and decreases in the stock price are reflected in the rise and fall of the musical scale for that instrument." Music to my ears, and there's a lot of other interesting new media and video works to see here too...
Ricardo Cruz 3/25/07 Description:

Comments:
"To me, photography is a state of life, a boundary that marks us and let us mark the moments." Ricardo "started taking some shots" after getting his first digital camera in 2003. I particularly his night shots and portraits, though it's all good (wouldn't want you to miss his beautiful nature shots too)... [DOPE]

EZINE 3/19/07 Description:
monthly publication of design, culture, and character (Flash)
Comments:
One of the features in the On the Road issue is the collage works of MiraRuido, about whom a major newspaper said, "The visual and sonorous works that appear in MiraRuido are a clear example of the marvels that can arise by putting a monkey in front of a computer." Well, the works are marvelous. Also in this 5th monthly issue, photos, video, and a cassette compilation. Made in Spain and all-out tasty!
Evoke™ 3/18/07 Description:
dedicated and dynamic community of artists
Comments:
It says it "managed to rise from the ashes and continue on - due to the strength of its core community" after a "small recession" occurred in its second year online.

"We live to create what is pure and beautiful." Cheers to Justin and the team... [colorbunch.com < etcetera.com.ro]

Daisy Cottage 3/16/07 Description:
A 1922 "dream come true"
Comments:
"Every morning I wake up, sip my first cup of coffee and feel so thankful that we have been given this chance to be 'caretakers' of this sweet 84 year old house." Kim and her family "stumbled upon" the old bungalow they now call the Daisy Cottage in late August of 2005. She started the blog last September to share her enjoyment of "the art of making a house into a home" and other interests, including collecting, scrapbooking, and of course, other old houses. It's a truly personal site, full of enthusiasm for what Kim calls her adventures. Uniquely inspiring...

Christina Maria Oswald - photo.art.words
Comments:Unzip your senses with art that goes beyond the visual holding something in store for one who dares to touch the canvas. "Ignore gravity." The emotioncy concept – "we have no one who tells us what to do when we are moving outside on our own and alone." The creative space of Chrischa Oswald – photo.art.words, immersed in wonderment...

enfocado 3/3/07 Description:
pictures, places and trips
Comments:
Today's pick, a fotolog of places traveled, has its nice design touches though the archives seem a bit scrambled chronologically. Not sure if that's intentional but you can find the most recent shot via the thumbnails along the bottom. I first encountered Xose's site in December. Is this amazing or what!
Srh-Coolage 3/2/07 Description:
web art... in motion
Comments:
I have questions. Is coolage a new form of collage? And who is this guy Capitan Salento? "Pop art is died." It's all "styled by Underbob." Another question. Who needs answers when it's so much visual fun to click through. SRH? A movement, perhaps...;~))
