Facebook Lightbox vs Google+: which better presents your images?

12 Feb

Icon.jpg

Facebook is making its first steps towards taking photography seriously with the launch of its Lightbox display interface. The change, which is being rolled-out to users in the coming weeks, darkens the rest of the screen when a photo is selected and shows images in greater detail than before (up to 960 pixels in each dimension). How does this presentation compare to the more obviously photo-friendly Google+ service?

A few nice visual art images I found:

Millie, the Brampton Arts Council mascot

Image by Visual Arts Brampton
Visual Arts Brampton brought the Brampton Arts Council’s Millie to the parade, and she was quite popular. She met with kids for almost 40 minutes non-stop after the hour long parade.

She first came to Brampton in 2000, as a Millennium Bug for the City’s year long celebrations; she wasn’t the Y2K bug, just a Millennium Bug. She’s actually a lady bug anyway, so she’s not even related to the feared problem starter.

Zen Landscape

In a quiet neighborhood of small brick houses from the 1950s, where every yard is open grass with a few foundation flowers, there exists this amazing Japanese treescape. It is located one block from where I once lived in suburban Washington DC. The trees have grown and filled in since last I saw it. The house is painted charcoal black, allowing it to disappear.

Happy 8th Anniversary Kenny!

Street Art In Drogheda
visual art
Image by infomatique
October 2006 saw the opening of the town’s first dedicated municipal art gallery and visual arts centre, the Highlanes Gallery, housed in the former Franciscan Friary on St. Laurence Street. The Highlanes Gallery holds Drogheda’s important municipal art collection which dates from the 17th century as well as visiting exhibitions in a venue which meets key international museum and gallery standards.Drogheda’s most famous visual artist was the abstract expressionist painter Nano Reid (d.1981). Raphael Hynes, Richard Moore, Liam O’ Broin, Padhraic Murphy and Ronan Halpin are among Drogheda’s best known living artists.

The original Drogheda bypass bridge over the river Boyne, known locally as the "Bridge of Peace", is well-known regionally for its aerosol graffiti murals. Under the bridge, on each side of the river there are two large concrete supports that measure approximately 8 metres high, and 20 metres long. Starting in the 1980s with the breakdance craze, these supports were painted and sprayed with murals by aerosol artists. This activity at the time was technically illegal and frowned upon by the local authorities. Today the murals are frequently updated and limited sponsorship of the artists is provided by local businesses.

Kris Verdonck – EXHIBITION #1 – Warehouse of machinery, used in performances / installations (1995 – present)
visual art
Image by Z33 art centre, Hasselt
These appliances and objects are normally situated behind the scenes of a performance or show. The machines often look like medieval instruments (of torture). At the same time, they are often high-technological objects, that fulfil complex functions. They form a large contrast with the extreme esthetical images that they produce.

The overview of machines by Kris Verdonck addresses the field of tension between man and machine in today’s society. What relationship can/must/do people want to enter into with technology? How difficult is the balancing act between human control and submission to machines?
