  Genetics | Photo by René Maltête

  Posted: 1-August-2011, 5:22pm CEST by Visual Thought

  
  
  I love a good visual gag, and I've often seen (and laughed at) this photo, but never knew the creator.
  
  Today I learned it is the work of René Maltête (1930-2000), described by some as a "photowitticist."

  WiFi-Sniffing Picture Frame

  Posted: 14-June-2011, 9:38pm CEST by Luke

  

  Images are all around you:

  This picture frame, made from an ancient Pentium II laptop, displays images sniffed out of public WiFi connections: “Many coffee shops in Vancouver feature both local art and wi-fi, so why not combine the two?”
