E15
E15 is a research project by MIT which will attempt to allow you (as the user) to visualise web content in any way that you see fit. This can be accomplished in a few ways, either by providing a visual hierarchy to the elements which form a web page, in a three dimensional space or by rendering these items through an image processing engine to create a visual of the site. Looks really interesting, can’t wait for a public release.

Subway poster gets the photoshop treatment
Subway posters in Berlin have been getting the photoshop treatment by some (unknown to me) German street artists. Brilliant idea to remind people of how much re-touching goes into these photos to make them into some sort of ‘human ideal’. The same artist(s) have also been getting their hands on magazines too.
