Eine Spielhalle 1968: Arcade Wonderland

Tolle Fotoserie des Arcade Wonderland, einer damaligen Spielhalle in Kansas City, Missouri. Aufgenommen 1968.

Located near a major bus transfer point at the corner of 12th and Grand in Kansas City, Missouri, Wonderland Arcade was a popular haunt for people of all ages with time to kill and a few coins in their pockets.

In the days before video games, amusement arcades like Wonderland were filled with a panoply of analog entertainment, from shooting galleries to skee-ball to mechanical fortune tellers to endless varieties of pinball.

Teenagers poured countless coins into the machines…and occasionally took them back. In 1947, Wonderland was robbed by a 13-year-old who made off with $150 worth of nickels. He was nabbed by police after buying a new suit, shoes and taxi rides around town with the five-cent pieces.

These photographs of a conspicuously empty Wonderland were created as exhibit evidence in a federal case brought against the arcade related to taxation of its penny bingo games.

Wasser färben auf der ISS

14. Oktober 2015 um 8:50 Uhr von Ronny

Once again, astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water, and captured images using a camera capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras. The higher resolution images and higher frame rate videos can reveal more information when used on science investigations, giving researchers a valuable new tool aboard the space station. This footage is one of the first of its kind. The cameras are being evaluated for capturing science data and vehicle operations by engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Bewegte Lichtbilder projizierende Dreiräder

Das aus São Paulo stammende Künstlerduo VJ Suave von Ygor Marotta und Ceci Soloaga Dreiräder entwickelt, mit denen sie im Dunkeln durch die Straßen fahren und Visuals an Häuserwände projizieren. Dazu gibt es Musik.

The São Paulo-based artists pack these hefty trikes to the gills with all manner of batteries, laptops, speakers, and high-powered projectors so they can roll through the night with crowds in tow as their animations spring to life against the urban backdrop. Using the on-board computers, Marotta and Soloaga are able to manipulate the videos in real-time to play certain animations tailored to different environments, creating unpredictable moments between space, audience, and art.

Stop Motion Film aus dem Flickr-Album der Apollo-Missionen

11. Oktober 2015 um 21:44 Uhr von Ronny

Vor einer Woche hatte die NASA tausende von Fotos der Apollo-Missionen auf Flickr geladen. Vimeo-Nutzer harrisonicus hat mit einigen dieser Bilder jetzt einen Stop Motion Film gebastelt. Schönes Ding.

I was looking through the Project Apollo Archive (flickr.com/photos/projectapolloarchive/) and at one point, I began clicking through a series of pics quickly and it looked like stop motion animation. So, I decided to see what that would look like without me having to click through it. Enjoy!

Monsune, timelapsed

6. Oktober 2015 um 22:56 Uhr von Ronny

Mike Olbinski hat über 40 Tage lang Monsune in den USA gejagt und dieses unfassbar schöne Timelapse Video daraus zusammengesetzt. Die Musik ist eher meh, die Aufnahmen sind mehr als beeindruckend.

17,000 miles driven, which was about 3,000 more than last year. Perhaps the biggest difference this year was shooting nearly 60,000 more time-lapse frames than I did in 2014. 105,000 total. And what sticks out to me even more than any of the other numbers above, is that only 55,000 of those 105,000 frames made it into Monsoon II.

Die Meldung ist nicht ganz neu, aber man braucht bei sagenhaften 8000+ Fotos halt auch seine Zeit, um sich da durchzuklickern.

So stehen nun tausende Aufnahmen der ersten bemannten Apollo(7)-Mission im Jahr 1968 bis zum bisher letzten bemannten Raumflug zum Mond der Apollo 17 1972 in hochaufgelöster Qualität unter Public Domain zur Verfügung.

NASA-Releases-8-400-HighQuality-Images-of-Apollo-Moon-Mission-photos-on

Möglich wurde das dadurch, das Kipp Teague vom Project Apollo Archive seit über zehn Jahren die Fotos all der Missionen eingescannt hat. Hier in seiner scheinbar niemals enden wollenden Schönheit in einem gut sortierten Flickr-Album. Spaceporn <3
