• Dave's Web Of Lies 2/27/07 
  Description: trawling the world's information nets seeking out falsehoods
  Comments: "How much of what you read can you trust?" One of the Stars of the Month at Ample Sanity, today's pick is "seeking out falsehoods" and shares a new lie daily. There's over 4,000 lies in the searchable/browsable database, but I like random approach myself. "If you were to lay all the chickens in the world end to end they would stretch to the sun and back...........twice." Wait a minute! I thought that was true. "George Bush is actually an undercover Greenpeace member trying to infiltrate the goverment." No comment. Have fun...;~))
   
• Blot of Light 2/25/07 
  Description: daily drops from Ukraine photoblog
  Comments: Alex quotes Elliott Erwitt: "Nothing happens when you sit at home. I always make it a point to carry a camera with me at all times... I just shoot at what interests me at that moment." Beautiful portraits and interesting fragments in and around the city of Dnipropetrovsk. "I invite you to join the journey..."
   
• bengali 2/24/07 
  Description: experimental Flash and photography (Flash)
  Comments: I'm not sure how Cédric produces his Airgraphs, interesting, almost neon-like drawings over photographs in several groupings. There's over a dozen series of photos in total, including cool pics from Egypt and Rome. One thing I like about the interface is that the images scale with the browser window – the slideshows are nice in fullscreen mode. There's also a small assortment of unique interactive Flash experiments. "Let us distinguish the form from the contents," says Cédric. "Good visit..."  [Mowsnet]
   
• www.PeopleProducts123.com 2/22/07 
  Description: information on the people who make the products we use every day in the form of easy-to-use package labels and stickers
  Comments: Today's pick is out to raise awareness by making improved packaging available to print, cut out, and place on products in the marketplace. Fact is, there's real people behind the products we use, like children who process sugar or harvest vegetables for example, making next to nothing for their hard work. From The Anti-Advertising Agency, alternative marketing labels for the products we buy, featuring "images and stories about the workers who make them." Enlightening.
   
• Sleepy Urbanite 2/21/07 
  Description: cell phone art
  Comments: "This project was born from the desire to create art on the fly... the beautiful uniqueness of the everyday." When she's not singing with The Locals (and rather well, thank you) or working that day job, she's out and about armed with just a cell phone camera. Done at home in Chicago on the CTA train, her Sleepy Urbanite project captured some media attention recently. "People are dreaming all around you on the train..." And when that attention took her to New York City for a day, she naturally rode their trains too, capturing sleeping New Yorkers. There's other series too, "paying freakishly close attention to the everydayness." Cool cell phone art on the fly. 
   
• strawberry fields 2/20/07 
  Description: an unchronological photoblog
  Comments: He calls it "way of motivation to go out and burn some film." Originally intended to be heavy on Beatle-inspired content, Jarek explains it didn't exactly end up that way, though "the idea itself hasn't died completely." The order of posts is more random than chronological and the more recently posted black & white photos, many of people on the street, are what really drew me in. And this is my absolute fave. Great analog photography...  [VFXY dailymosaic]
   
• Jakub Krechowicz 2/18/07 
  Description: fine art photography
  Comments: From the seaside in Sopot to the ruins in Gdansk, the photographs of Jakub Krechowicz are truly fine art. So it goes with his Presense and Magic of light series as well. Rare, emotive work with the camera, plus a collection of stunning oils on canvas...
   
• 47 2/15/07 
  Description: experimental and unexpected photography
  Comments: Brandon read one "should always look for the basic elements of design such as color, shape, texture, etc.. and shoot them." He's "just starting out" and launched the photoblog a few months ago. Expect the unexpected as he explores and experiments. Accidents happen, thank you. Fresh!  [Photoblog Community]
   
• c2photo.com 2/10/07 
  Description: A collection of photos by Chris Mrozewski
  Comments: "I want to know what you think," says Chris, an architectural student in Missouri. Well. There's a photo or two that blew me away. The site's got character. Goodies too. And if you don't mind a few hundred thumbs on one page, here's a good place to start. That's what I think...  [VFXY dailymosaic]
   
• VisualArt.Be 2/7/07 
  Description: a form of self exploration through different media
  Comments: "Take a look through my window. It's amazing." Tom, Tim, and Yanick engage in various types of visualart as forms of self exploration. From photography and 3D digital imagery to remarkable short animations, a fascinating visual showcase...  [Newstoday® PBS]
   
• Medinat Weimar 2/5/07 
  Description: life as an Israeli-political-artist living and studying in Weimar, Germany
  Comments: The art project by a guy working towards his Masters in public art exposes some of the struggles of migrants and refugees.

  Strolling down the street you see something strange, a light catches your eye and you look down the sewage opening and get surprised, if you are curious you ask yourself questions. You encounter the "migrant showing you their papers" but you are not sure what you have seen or understand who these people are.

  (un)Documented Disappearance was installed 2 weeks ago at several sites in the small city of Jena, Germany with the blessings of both the town and the university, though the local police department was apparently unaware that Ronen had "appropriate documents of permission." That's hopefully all cleared up by now. Ronen's blog documents his life as politial-artist and student including this unique work of art, "part of a whole public art interaction" going on in Jena.
   
• City Traces 2/3/07 
  Description: deciphering the narratives of the cultural terrain
  Comments: One of Julie Shiels' objectives as an artist is to draw attention to "forgotten stories of neighbourhoods and places in an ever changing urban landscape." Her City Traces blog hopes to "reflect the nature of gentification and homogenisation in a globalised world" by documenting "marks on the pavement and the minutiae found in the streets." These "traces of life" tell stories – sometimes, rather interesting (and colorful) stories. Talk about street art...;~))
