* Optikflash: The “Flashed Face Distortion Effect” | Mururoar
„We describe a novel face distortion effect resulting from the fast-paced presentation of eye-aligned faces. When cycling through the faces on a computer screen, each face seems to become a caricature of itself and some faces appear highly deformed, even grotesque. The degree of distortion is greatest for faces that deviate from the others in the set on a particular dimension (eg if a person has a large forehead, it looks particularly large).“

„These orphaned Screech Owls are being weighed in WildCare’s Wildlife Hospital. They will stay in care until they’re old enough to be released back into the wild.“ Das Ahhhhhh! des Tages!

Kettenreaktionsmaschine: Melvin The Magical Mixed Media Machine

Krasses Teil, was von HEYHEYHEY dort in eine Halle gebaut wurde. Wie ein Domino an Kettenreaktionen. Die Maschine selber macht während des Ablaufs Fotos und Videos und lädt diese umgehend auf einen Facebook– und einen Twitteraccount. Außerdem hat sie eine eigene Website.

Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine (or just Melvin the Machine) can be described as a Rube Goldberg machine with a twist. Besides doing what Rube Goldberg’s do best – performing a simple task as inefficiently as possible, often in the form of a chain reaction – Melvin has an identity. Actually, the only purpose of this machine is promoting its own identity.
