This has been big in the new recently, but what better marriage of art, design and technology is there!? Very cool and very accessible to all.

Quite lovely...magical. It brings to mind the interplay of atoms, or even particles...the unceasing movement of the universe. And, yes, accessible to all!!

A selection of free and paid apps for use in stage and theatre designs. Especially useful for lighting designers and technicians is the portable gel book. Very cool!

Van Gogh painted two version of this infamous "Bedroom in Arles". Thanks for a recent technology called "X-ray fluorescence", the original colors of the paintings can be seen for the first time.

This is amazing! "He described it in a letter to his brother Theo: "I have painted the walls pale violet. The ground with checked material. The wooden bed and the chairs, yellow like fresh butter; the sheet and the pillows, lemon light green. The bedspread, scarlet coloured. The window, green. The washbasin, orangey; the tank, blue. The doors, lilac. And, that is all." "Casadio said Van Gogh had a room ready for Gauguin and he had worked for weeks to decorate the walls with art. "In the myriad letters he wrote to his brother Theo and friends, he said the color has to do the job here," she said. "When he was finished he slept for two days." And now there is an Air BnB where you can stay in his room! ( I'll post about it!) I'm in, he's a favorite of mine! Great post, thanks!

This tutorial gives instruction on how to make zoo photos of animals look like you took them in a studio setting with a controlled light setup. I would modify it a bit but it's fun!
