Extreme photography - cities in gigapixels

Paris in 26 GpixelsStitching is the art (and technology) of putting together multiple photographs taken from a single location but with varying orientations, in order to produce a much larger image of that location. The technique to do this encompasses more than just cutting the photographs and matching them at the edges - it requires complex transformations and processes for blending the overlapping areas. All this is taken care of by sophisticated software and the problems that the artist faces are quite different. For example, to take these photographs you need a sunny day, but on sunny days the air warms up and creates atmospheric turbulences (the Fata Morgana effect you see in the desert or when driving along a highway on a warm day).

Understanding the Madeirans - research internships

The goal of this project is to gain an understanding of how the people of Madeira perceive their
physical, cultural and economic environments and how in turn these perceptions guide and
influence their social interactions and their consumption patterns of various goods and services.
The project employs a service design approach. Service design is a design framework that asks you
to open your mind and generate a vision in seeing context in a different light as well as a critical
standpoint on the subject. This approach will allow you to investigate behaviors, be aware of how
things co-related, interpret needs and transform them into potential services.

A kind of Art with a capital A

From time to time we still encounter something that can really surprise us, make us look twice, and still let us doubt our eyes... The Danish artist Peter Callesen is capable of doing that; he creates amazing sculptures from just an A4 sheet of paper.
