"ArtsJournal was founded September 13, 1999 in the heady days of the dotcom boom. The site is a digest of some of the best arts and cultural journalism in the English-speaking world. Each day ArtsJournal features link to stories culled from around the internet, including blogs and more than 200 English-language newspapers, magazines and publications featuring writing about arts and culture.

A blog of historic PHOTOGRAPHS AND HISTORY OF EARLY EUGENE OREGON STRUCTURES AND LOCATIONS.

Each week you'll find 15-25 posts on photography, design, animation, painting, installation art, architecture, drawing, and street art. Colossal is also a great place to learn about the intersection of art and science as well as the beauty of the natural world.

Using a parabolic-mirror technique that allows camera lenses to strip real life images down to their basest particles, sound waves are no longer invisible vibrations.

Visualizing the Sound? what? I thought this post is very interesting. Sound itself can be an "art" as music (for example), but I have never thought sound can be a form of art when visualized.

It's incredible what the camera has the ability to capture. I think this is a great example of how science and art can overlap.

The vibrancy of the Mission District is due in large part the artists, art galleries, and arts-based non-profits that call it home. But the once-predominantly Latino community is in the midst of several large changes that will completely alter the vibe of the Mission.

We might now have neurological proof that artists actually are different creatures from everyone else on the planet. According to a study published in Neurolmage, researchers believe that artists have brains that are structurally different from non-artists. It appears that there's now justifiable support for the idiom "she's just wired differently, idk."

Computer-generated imagery, also called CGI, refer to the application of computer graphics to create images in art, printed media, video games, films and television programs. Many movies using this technology to create special effects.

The seeds of Instructables germinated at the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects, connect with others, and make an impact on the world. One of these early places was a blog Zeroprestige, which was an open source hardware experiment for kitesurfing. Here they documented their hand-sewn kites, plywood boards, and other general mayhem that happens when PhDs and high winds collide. "As a result of freely sharing our work, we met a ton of great people, received great opportunities, and were smacked in the face with the need for a web-based documentation system."

"It's been a long time. We shouldn't have left you… without a dope beat to step to."

"Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others" - Tony Quan, aka Tempt One

This is a tumblr blog run by Instagram that talks about all the factors that allows for the success and powering of the social media site Instagram. They say, "One of the questions we always get asked at meet-ups and conversations with other engineers is, "what's your stack?" We thought it would be fun to give a sense of all the systems that power Instagram, at a high-level; you can look forward to more in-depth descriptions of some of these systems in the future. This is how our system has evolved in the just-over-1-year that we've been live, and while there are parts we're always re-working, this is a glimpse of how a startup with a small engineering team can scale to our 14 million+ users in a little over a year."

In the last two years I have interviewed more than thirty artists, writers and other creative people for my own blog, Praeterita. The creative process was a part of every discussion, so I thought I would invite these interviewees to submit a photo and a short description of their workspace to an ongoing series called A View from the Easel. These are their images and their words.

Gallerist Stefania Bortolami (stefaniabortolami) was hanging out with artist Daniel Buren and posted this adorable picture of the artist in his garden

A blog

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's director Thomas P. Campbell announced Friday that over 400,000 high-resolution, digital images will now be available to download through the museum's website for free. The public domain works, all part of the museum's collection, will increase over time and be added to the site on a regular basis.

Wordpress is a free and open-source software package originally designed for blogs but is also now used for websites, forums, and social networks. It lets programmers make plugins and themes and lets them distribute them for free or for pay. After reading through their documentation and examples in high school, I've used it to create several websites for clients -- free to me, and I can charge for my labor. Over the years it's gotten easy enough for almost anyone to put together with some effort and patience. It's putting the power of next-level internet content production into the hands of everyone, and it's getting easier every year.

The public will be able to see the life-size Mark Zuckerberg wax figure in San Francisco.

This is incredible, the meticulously placed details make the statue impeccable.
