Dynamic Face Substitutions

Face Substitution from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.

Wish you had Paris Hilton's or Brad Pitt's face? This is an amazing video of dynamic face substitution  technology that changes their face in real-time. Imagine the possibilities! Skype with your friends as Eva Mendes or President Obama. Take it one step further and allow for face-to-face chat as someone else, so you don't reveal your true identity for dating sites.

Kyle McDonald and Arturo Castro is sharing the code for this on GitHub.

Fotoshop by Adobe - Jesse Rosten

Fotoshop by Adobé from Jesse Rosten on Vimeo.

Brilliant work by Jesse Rosten with his commercial, Fotoshop by Adobe. The commercial is a parody of all beauty ads - infomercials, before/afters,  Maybelline ads, with a swipe of "Best of" Photoshop Disasters.  It's such a biting dig at what our standards of beauty are as a society and this video cleverly pulls off the facade to reveal that it's "pro-pixel intesifying fauxtanical hydro-jargon microbead extract...featuring nutritive volumizing technology"

I literally laughed out loud at the line, "My skin feels like plastic!" 

Well played, Jesse. Well played.

Bansky: Follow Your Dreams - Cancelled

While walking off the massive dim sum meal in Chinatown, Boston, I came across a Banksy piece on the wall next to a parking lot on Essex st. Does it add anything more to the piece or diminish the value of it when other non-Banksy folks add their graffiti on top?

This is my absolute favorite blog so far, this year.

Interior Projections at Mass Moca

A projection installation by Jenny Hoolzer, at Mass Moca in 2008, of a poem by Wislawa Szymborska. It was set in a stadium size rooms dotted with bean bags. While you lounged in those bean bags, the projections would dangling across the entire length of the room. It's like watching constellations of lullabies and words while lying in bed.
