3D Fractals

Isn't it cool how a simple single equation, recursively applied, produces such amazing and elaborate patterns? Could the whole universe be based on a simple elegant equation of this kind? I'm tempted to say yes...

Tyondai Braxton - Platinum Rows

"Tyondai Braxton deployed an army of machines for his second solo album, Central Market
(out this fall). To record it, Braxton connected traditional
instruments like guitar and keyboards to a chain of pitch shifters,
Moog modulators, and looping pe...dals, then added beat-boxing samples
(among other quirky vocal effects) for a densely layered texture.... The artist then transcribed these sounds into sheet music using a
notation software program and enlisted the Wordless Music Orchestra, an
independent New York ensemble, to contribute strings, woodwinds, and
percussion."

A more human search engine.

When you do a Google search, search terms entered are checked against all the documents stored on the Google servers, ranking the best at the top of the pile. Wolfram Alpha takes it a step further. Instead of just checking the words, the new pretender takes into account human language, looking at the question posed to find the best search, not just a string of words. It's called natural language processing and according to creator Stephen Wolfram, it takes web searching a considerable step forward. One expert describes the engine as a 'vast electronic brain'. We really hope that's reality, not just a figure of speech.

"Faintheart" - The first colaborative film from MySpace

... and you can watch it for free. At your lukal cinema. And maybe at the Faintheart site



Faintheart is a 2008 film, the first to be created using input from an online site.
The film was a result of a collaborative effort from Myspace, Vertigo films and Film4. The resulting group, MyMovieMashUp, sought to harness the talents of the online community and to enable them to be involved in the film-making process.[citation needed] Various cast and crew members were picked from the MySpaceUK website to work on the project, a unique tactic in the film-making industry.
Professional Viking re-enactors from UK-based company "The Vikings" formed part of the cast.
