from Shinseungback Kimyonghun

‘Portrait’ is a series of portraits representing an identity of a movie.


A custom software detects faces from every 24 frames of a movie, 
and creates an average face of all found faces. 
The composite image reflects the centric figure(s) 
and the visual mood of the movie.

Bob Mankoff : Anatomy of a New Yorker Cartoon


The New Yorker receives around 1,000 cartoons each week;
it only publishes about 17 of them.
In this hilarious, fast-paced, and insightful talk,
the magazine's longstanding cartoon editor
and self-proclaimed "humor analyst" Bob Mankoff
dissects the comedy within just some of the "idea drawings"
featured in the magazine, explaining what works, what doesn't, and why.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances
from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers
give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).
Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design --
plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

How To Succeed With Your Madeleine | from Amy Radcliffe



HOW TO SUCCEED WITH YOUR MADELEINE 
from AMY RADCLIFFE
on Vimeo.


The Madeleine is, to all intents and purposes, an analogue odour camera.
Based on current perfumery technology, Headspace Capture, The Madeleine
works in much the same way as a 35mm camera. Just as the camera records
the light information of a visual in order to create a replica The Madeleine
records the chemical information of a smell.


If an analogue, amateur-friendly system of odour capture and synthesis
could be developed, we could see a profound change in the way
we regard the use and effect of smells in our daily lives.
From manipulating our emotional wellbeing through
prescribed nostalgia, to the functional use
of conditioned scent memory, our olfactory
sense could take on a much more conscious role
in the way we consume and record the world.
