“Locals and Tourists is a set of maps showing where people take photos in various cities around the world. The results are broken down into tourist photos and photos taken by locals. Blue points on the map are pictures taken by locals. Red points are pictures taken by tourists.”

“The Cubatron UV was built specifically for Burning Man 2008. It is a 3-dimensional array of Ultra-Violet LEDs, arranged in a 100×100x100 matrix for a total of 1,000,000 lights. Each light is independently controllable to display any brightness and the entire display can be updated 50 times per second.”

These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September, 2009, on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.

“Zurich-based artist Andy Denzler emulates a lossy JPEG, reversing the trend of the digital emulating the traditional. In his art, it’s the old oil on canvas process that approximates the digital by scrutinizing the ‘corrupted’ computer file.”
