Originally in the form of paper cards enclosed in cigarette/cigar boxes and, later, as postcards, the images depicted the world as it was imagined to be like in the year 2000. There are at least 87 cards known that were authored by various French artists, the first series being produced for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. "

Book Art | Off Book | PBS - YouTube - 9 views

  •  
    "Books are in a conflicted state. Should they still exist in a digital era? Will they all be replaced by Kindles and Nooks? These questions dominate the discussion of books in our time. A select group of artists, who use books as their medium, engage this discussion from another angle. From pop culture pop-ups, to surreal sculptural stories, to reformations of antique sacred texts, these creators re-envision what the experience of a book can be. At times playful, and other times profound, this episode explores the boundaries of one of the most important human creations. "

Scopeprice | Microsoft Surface Studio Review - 0 views

  •  
    Microsoft Surface Studio is the company's first desktop PC. It is easily the most attention-grabbing new PC design of the year, even if most of its individual ideas like - external control knobs, tabletop PCs - have been seen before in different contexts. The new Studio and Surface Dial provided a stark, inventive contrast, especially for graphic designers, artists and video editors who scooped up new Macs without question in years past.

Veronica Roth: "But I Read Divergent a YEAR Ago!": Your Guide to Remembering Stuff Befo... - 15 views

  •  
    As with any "artistic decision," there will be consequences, which is that not everyone has a superhuman memory and/or the time to reread Divergent before reading Insurgent. Early readers of Insurgent have understandably had some trouble recalling all the necessary information to really be situated in the world of Insurgent. In order to help with this horrible thing I have done to you, I wrote this GIANT post to remind you of all the characters in Divergent, how you know them, and what happened at the end of Divergent.

Dragontape - YOUR TASTE ON MIXTAPES - 12 views

  •  
    "We traditionally think of the classic mixtape as an audio compilation of power songs and remixes that we'll then share with friends or pass along to the cute girl two seats behind you in math class. Recently brought to my attention was Dragontape, a website that takes the concept of the mixtape further by combining YouTube and SoundCloud, effectively allowing you to create video & audio playlists of music, concert, and related promotional videos for your favorite artists, gigs, and tours. With Dragontape for the iPad you can watch the latest mixtapes, browse through what's popular, and revisit favorites all without the need of your web browser." from MacStories - http://www.macstories.net/reviews/dragontape-for-ipad-lets-you-browse-share-and-edit-video-mixtapes/

Libraries as Cultivators of Creativity: There's an App for That! - 24 views

    The Adventures of Library Girl: I am not an artist. But when I created this blog, I knew I wanted an avatar that would come to be synonymous with "Library Girl." I figured, if I was going to don a virtual super hero persona, I would, at minimum, need a cartoon character version of my self who, if not able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, would at least sport a cape.
