  • Der gestohlene Schrei

    Noam Galai experimentierte 2006 mit Selbstportraits und fotografierte sich selbst beim Schreien mit dramatischer Beleuchtung. Vier dieser Fotos lud er sofort in seinen flickr-Stream, ein weiteres ein paar Monate später. Zufällig fand er heraus, dass ohne sein Wissen T-Shirts mit seinem Foto verkauft wurden.

    Er begann, nach seinem Gesicht zu suchen und war immer wieder aufs Neue schockiert. Denn er fand sein Foto überall auf der Welt: Auf T-Shirts, als Graffitis oder Poster an Wänden, auf Buch- und Magazincovern und natürlich überall im Internet.

    Sein Foto ist vielerorts zu einem Symbol geworden, wenn es von Widerstandkämpfern benutzt wird, um ihre Wut und ihr Aufbegehren zu illustrieren. Noam ist beeindruckt und findet die künstlerische Verwendung seiner Fotos cool, die gewinnbringende Verwendung ärgert ihn aber. Trotzdem nimmt er die Vorgänge in gewisser Weise mit Humor und sammelt Bilder seines Gesichts.

    Interessant finde ich, dass hierbei nicht eine einzelne Urheberrechtsverletzung vorliegt, sondern unglaublich viele Menschen das Potential dieses Fotos erkannt haben, das scheinbar so groß ist, dass viele es als Symbol betrachten, losgelöst davon, dass es jemanden gibt, der es einmal kreiert hat.

    Wie würdet ihr reagieren?

    I went to Target’s pharmacy today just so I could get my prescriptions filled in the fancy new ClearRx bottles designed by a School of Visual Arts graduate. I’ve never been any more excited about getting a prescription filled, although I’m annoyed the pharmacist didn’t give each of them a different-colored ring and the red ones are boring (they just look like they’re part of the bottle).

    The Museum of Visual Arts of Leipzig holds one of the biggest and most valuable collections of paintings and sculptures within germany. It’s roots go back to the "Leipziger Art Society" in 1837, and in 2006 the construction of the new main exhibition building, designed by the architects Hufnagel, Pütz and Rafaelian, has been finished.

    Besides, this is the first picture with my new Sigma 10-20mm lens. 🙂 The title also relates to the theoretical topics I’m currently studying for my final exam next friday.

    Just Posted: It seems like everybody is talking about tablet computers at the moment, and one of the most talked-about – Apple’s iPad 2 – launched last week here in the US. We thought this was a good opportunity to take a look at the iPad 2 from the point of view of enthusiast photographers. Apple’s App Store contains hundreds of photography-related applications for the iPad – is Apple’s latest shiny gadget just a toy, or can it be genuinely useful as a photographic tool?

  • Microsoft Excel 2010 – Change the Tab Color of a Worksheet

    Tabs representing different worksheets in an Excel 2010 workbook can be colored for organizational purposes.

    If you are editing a Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook containing multiple worksheets, you probably use the tabs at the bottom-left of the window to switch between them.

    Instead of displaying all tabs in the same color, you might find it useful, especially if you have many tabs, to give them different colors. You might want to organize all worksheets related to a particular year in one color, or change tab colors representing P&L worksheets of particular quarters if the organization was in the red or black. You could also make every tab a different color for variety so you can tell people accounting is not boring….
