Lens: ‘Where Children Sleep

NYTIMES - MULTIMEDIA

James Mollison wanted to portray children's diverse worlds. What better way to do so than to photograph their bedrooms?

“As a child, that’s your little space within the house,” Mr. Mollison said.

Mr. Mollison’s new book, “Where Children Sleep,” had its origins in a project undertaken for a children’s charity several years ago. As he considered how to represent needy children around the world, he wanted to avoid the common devices: pleading eyes, toothless smiles. When he visualized his own childhood, he realized that his bedroom said a lot about what sort of life he led. So he set out to find others.

.....

As much as the project is about the quirkiness of childhood, it is, more strikingly, a commentary on class and on poverty. But the diversity also provides a sense of togetherness.

Augmented Reality Korean Unification Project

Posted by David Pescovitz on Wednesday, Aug 3rd at 9:52am

Mark Skwarek's "Augmented Reality Korean Unification Project" uses augmented reality to remove "weapons, checkpoints, fortifications, barriers, walls, and all reminders of the ongoing conflict from the Korean landscape." I think saying that it "erases the scars left by years of conflict between North and South Korea" may be a bit of an overstatement, but using AR to present alternate realities unaffected by real history is conceptually fascinating.
