  • Tool for connecting latitude-longitude information which will let other people watch geotagged photos in google earth – accessed as a type of application
  • From the about page of the shadow world project: 'I have always considered Shadow World to be something somewhat different than a conventional documentary. My concept for the series came from a desire to document a certain overlooked reality, but without focusing on the factual specifics of that location. Instead, I chose to focus on what made that location both unique as well as universal, eschewing narrative and message for observation and formal balance as well as a personal connection with the environment and subjects. The inception of Shadow World came out of my relation to the moment through my background as a painter, the attention to minute details and how hey relate to each other to shape a moment in time. Time being one element that video allows me to explore and manipulate in a way that painting has not.'
  • From the about: 'I am a film and video artist originally from Houston, Texas now living in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

  • (quoted summary off vimeo): 'n The Revolution Will Be Animated, documentary filmmaker Marine Lormant Sebag presents multiple viewpoints on copyright in the digital age. The film’s main character is Nina Paley, an American animator who produced a feature film called Sita Sings the Blues. Nina encountered many copyright issues with the songs she used, from 1920s´ singer Annette Hanshaw. These experiences made her realize that she didn’t want the same thing to happen to her film. She finally used a Creative Commons Share Alike license in order to free her work and present it to the world.'

  • Web pages as applications concept: (quote from web page) 'In the case of the new iWork files, changing the file extension to .zip and expanding the archive reveals the as-expected XML document and plist files (for the document and its formatting) as well as a little PDF surprise — a preview version of the file. What this means for you is that you can send an iWork file to a friend or co-worker and regardless of their operating system choice or installed software base, they can “view” your document by unzipping it and opening the PDF.'
