Mr. Skola, a founder of the Dawn of Man art collective, used a laptop, a portable generator and a projector strapped to the roof of his car to cast on the building an enormous video of a dancing monkey (really a five-minute loop of a friend in a costume). While the creature flapped its arms and kicked its feet, people stopped on the crowded street to gawk and snap photos. “When we project this in the Lower East Side,” Mr. Skola said, “drunk people try to dance like the monkey.

Scanner Camera Test Lab
Ive been making scanner cameras and experimenting with scanner photography since 2001 when I first wondered what would happen if I put stuff on the scanner. I started wondering what could be scanned and started using my flat bed scanner upright like a camera using it to successfully create a number of works (you can see here) over the years that utilise the scanners ability to capture multiple times within one image. I started to build scanner cameras after one of my many web surfs uncovered the amazing work of Mike Golembewski who had posted his instructions on how to make a scanner see more than just a few centimetres in front of the glass scanning plate. I had wondered if it could be done and now I had a starting point.

US Virtual Herbarium
The goal of the US Virtual Herbarium (USVH) project is to digitize (database, image, georeference) all specimens in all US herbaria, enabling them to be made available through a single portal. Herbaria house specimens of plants, fungi, and algae, so USVH will offer a rich portrait of biodiversity in the US and in the other countries represented in US herbaria. Equally importantly, working towards this goal will engage people with herbaria and the organisms they house, expanding their appreciation of both the power of biodiversity informatics and the demands that it places on data providers while developing improved communication among those working in and with herbaria. The project is not funded but has strong support among those working in herbaria. It works through regional herbarium networks, some of which existed prior to the USVH project, while others are still in gestation. It differs from most digitization projects in its emphasis on helping those involved with herbaria become part of a national enterprise, an aspect that is seen as critical to creating the resources needed to develop and sustain the project. In this paper, we present some of the lessons we have learned and the difficulties we have encountered during the first few years of the project.

Apollo 14: science at Fra Mauro
The rhythmic sounds of the astronauts' breathing was picked up by the built-in microphones of their helmets and could be heard a quarter of a million miles (400,000 kilometers) away at Mission Control in Houston, Texas. Also hearing it were millions of radio listeners and television viewers on every continent.
