The Longest Photographic Exposures

30 July 2010

I’m collecting images from around the world depicting ‘you are here’ marks or ideo locators at Flickr.

The best example to date is from Seoul, where 3D cross sections of a metro station are directly related to the point at which you are looking at the map.

Time that land forgot

Timo Arnall & Even Westvang.

At the Iceland inside and out workshop Even Westvang and Timo Arnall collaborated on a project looking at ways of contextualising photographs by time and geography. We chose to shift the balance of representation away from location, towards image and time. This is a summary of our ideas and process, with an initial working prototype.
