New York + London photo series
Thursday, 16th May 2013 at 2:37pm
Award-winning photojournalist Daniella Zalcman has released an incredible series of photographs called New York + London.The series was created as a way to connect the time she spent in New York with her new home London. The series was released on Instagram using a set of photos she took of New York on her iPhone during her last month in the city, she then took the same number upon arrival in London. She then used software on her phone to carefully overlap the images, created a merged image of the two cities.
The full collection can be seen on Yatzer here. Zalcman also has a Kickstarter to get the photographs published as a book here.Tagged Photography, creative, buildings, Daniella Zalcman, Instagram, New York, London, iPhone, Kickstarter

Touchscreen gestures brought to life
Tuesday, 9th April 2013 at 1:15pm
An artist has decided to immortalise actions used with touchscreen products. In her project 'Multi-touch gestures', Gabriele Meldaikyte built five different sculptures that used the main motions associated with touchscreen devices.
The gestures, which seem almost second nature to most; including babies trying to swipe a magazine to read it, are also seen as a signature of the Apple iPhone.
Gabriele believes that this method of interaction with technology will be completely different in 10 years time. So she wanted to immortalise them by translating this interface language of communication into 3D objects which mimic every multi-touch gesture.
