Well, in this example, it’s starring me. But a quick trip to Tackfilm will take care of the uninspired casting. Simply upload a photo from your computer and within seconds you’ll be starring in a beautifully shot, Oscar worthy short feature. I’ve seen this kind of thing done before, but not to this level of craftsmanship.

The helmer, Swedish digital agency DRAFTFCB, claims this the most successful global viral interactive film ever, with over 14 million unique visits within 8 weeks.

This ingenious app runs in the background while you work at your computer. By tracking the times when the pointer is moving rapidly and the times it spends standing still, it creates an unique image. You can choose to have your map on a plain white background, or superimposed over a screenshot of your desktop. Some excellent examples can be enjoyed over at Flickr. Get the free Mac app here.

Here’s an image I made after working an hour and then colorizing the result:

Nice poster for a printer that uses vegetable inks.

Swedish artist Michael Johansson made this life-size dinghy “model kit” from a real boat and related equipment. The pieces are fastened together by a welded tubular frame and painted a uniform gray. Michael has done several of these 1:1 “model” kits made from life-size original objects.

If one day you find yourself reincarnated as a tabby, pray that your owner is wise this striking piece of furniture from Case Real. Not only will you have the best seat in the house for watching Garfield, but your owner will have an unobstructed view of you coughing up that hairball.

Rephotography is the act of repeat photography of the same site, with a time lag between the two images; a “then and now” view of a particular area. Some are casual, usually taken from the same view point but without regard to season, lens coverage or framing. Some are very precise and involve a careful study of the original image.

The founding work in this style was the Rephotographic Survey project, conceived in 1977 by the project’s chief photographer, Mark Klett. (I was fortunate to be able to work with Mark and Without Walls to design an interactive exhibit for the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.)

Long the domain of professionals, rephotography is now mainstream, as you can see in these beautiful compositions.
