"The most important thing you should know is that The Divine Comedy is a three part poem, Hell, Purgatory and Paradise. Each part is a book on itself in which Dante tells about his passage through them all. Now if you spent any amount of time online you have your fair share of things that annoy you. Now all those are categorized according to Dante’s Internet. Now if you spent any amount of time online you have your fair share of things that annoy you.

"... caught in Olympic Stadium, Athens during a severe thunderstorm. It only took me aproximatelly 30 minutes to capture 51 lightnings. Nine shots were destroyed because of the excess brightness. See also the waterdrops from the drain pipe. They seem 'still' as they instlantly illuminated from the lightnings. The answer to the crucial question: No... The big one didn't hit me on the head ..."

"In all of my photographs I play the characters because I relate easy and it's much more interesting like this. The 8 bit objects that I've created are made from polyester and painted on with acrylic" LOW - REz LIFE (part 1)(via who killed bambi?)
"Boilerplate is a fictional robot of the Victorian era and early 20th century ... Boilerplate originally featured on a website created by Paul Guinan in 2000 as an online pitch for a graphic novel. The Boilerplate site details the history of a remarkable robot built in the late 19th century, and features photoshopped "archival images" in which Boilerplate (actually a 12-inch articulated model) is seen interacting with historical figures, such as Teddy Roosevelt and Pancho Villa. Becoming aware that some visitors to the site were taken in by its contents, making it an unintentional hoax, Guinan resolved to see how authentic he could make the character seem, working to ensure the descriptions of non-fictional events were accurate ..."Graphic Novel bei Amazon: Boilerplate: History's Mechanical Marvel
(via we make money not art)"Tardigotchi is an artwork featuring two pets: a living organism and an alife avatar. These two disparate beings find themselves the unlikely denizens of a portable computing enclosure. The main body for this enclosure is a brass sphere, housing the alife avatar in an LED screen and the tardigrade within a prepared slide. A tardigrade is a common microorganism measuring half a millimeter in length. The alife avatar is a caricature of this tardigrade, its behaviour is partially autonomous, but it also reflects a considerable amount of expression directly from the tardigrade’s activities (like eating) ... By pushing a button, the virtual pet is fed, which in turn will feed the tardigrade. Tardigotchi has a social web presence: sending an email to the virtual character triggers a heating lamp, relaying a momentary signal of warmth to the tardigrade, while prompting the pixelated tardigrade to recline and soak up animated sun rays ... It also serves as a reminder for the special place humans have in communing with other animals, perhaps equally for artificial ones ..." Tardigotschi (inkl. Tardigotschi-Video, das leider erst ab Minute 3:30 halbwegs interessant wird)
