Seed cathedral
The Shanghai Expo opened yesterday. The theme, “Better City, Better Life” inspired British designer Thomas Heatherwick to create an extraordinary building which is attracting worldwide attention. 'The Seed Cathedral' is 20 metres in height, is formed from 60,000 slender transparent rods, each 7.5 metres long and each encasing one or more seeds at its tip.

First French street artist
Originally coming from Nice, Paris based Ernest Pignon-Ernest is considered one of the pioneers, if not the inventor of stencil art. Born in 1942, he was already painting stencils outdoors in 66, before gluing silkscreen posters in the streets of the world during more than 20 years.

Amazing slitscan images
Ansen Seale's camera exchanges the horizontal spatial dimension of X with the dimension of Time. This is done by imaging only the Y axis (a vertical line of pixels) of the same scene over and over again, up to 500 times per second. The internal processor of the camera arranges these pixel columns side by side, building up the horizontal dimension of the picture plane over time. The images are time exposures in one dimension and snapshots in the other. In contrast to traditional photography, only moving or changing objects register clearly and still objects are rendered as blurs across the picture plane.
I took the first photo a couple of years ago in Amsterdam. Like many others Christian Guémy, known as C215, paints local faces because they reflect the personality of the city (a stencil art tradition). Here is more.
