Augmented City 3D by Keiichi Matsuda
grab your 3D glasses.
The architecture of the contemporary city is no longer simply about the physical space of buildings and landscape, more and more it is about the synthetic spaces created by the digital information that we collect, consume and organise; an immersive interface may become as much part of the world we inhabit as the buildings around us.
Each day in 2009, I asked every person with whom I had a meaningful encounter to submit a record of this meeting through an online survey. These reports form the heart of the 2009 Annual Report. From parents to old friends, to people I met for the first time, to my dentist… any time I felt that someone had discerned enough of my personality and activities, they were given a card with a URL and unique number to record their experience.

Running the NumbersAn American Self-Portrait
Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month.

Marriage And The Generations - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
A clear majority of the under-30s favor marriage equality in all but 12 states. This doesn’t make defeats any easier, and it doesn’t make those constitutional amendments any easier to reverse. But it does add some perspective and may help us keep our cool. We’re winning where it counts. And the future will arrive some day.
incidentally, the graph police would like to note that the x-axis is percentage of acceptance by that age group, and that the age groups are not segmented proportionately. but hey, it’s what we’ve got.
