Use Instagram On Your Computer: Webstagram
Well this is pretty amazing. Webstagram allows you to view your instagram profile, and your friends, through the web. It was always missing a front end till now.
- View photos of the people you follow
- Like and Comment on photos
- Follow and Unfollow other users
- See your followers and following
- Browse popular photos / tags / users
- Get your RSS feeds
For instance, here’s my profile:
http://web.stagram.com/n/solsticeretouch
You can see all my photos, tags, comments. Basically, instagram without your phone. The only thing you can’t do is upload your pictures from your computer. But you can login and it has plenty of features.
So for those of you who are addicted to instagram, you don’t have to keep checking your phone for updates anymore, you can refresh your profile to check the comments, or look at the feed to see new pictures being uploaded by your friends. You can also comment back and do pretty much everything you want.

![Fading Thoughts: The Portrait Of Andrew Myers
Myers wanted to take his work one step further by creating a scene that gives a sense of motion. “I don’t want that dead portrait look anymore,” he says. “So I want to actually make a scene, something that appears to be happening that isn’t really happening. So you’re not only getting the 3D effect that’s a lie, it’s an effect, because of the screws, but then you’re getting another effect that the fan is actually in motion and that something is actually blowing off the page.
“So it’s kind of a test to see how far I can push this material.”
Myers worked with filmmaker Benjamin Pitts to show us how the piece comes together in a beautiful, short documentary. While watching Myers bring it to life is amazing enough, listening to fellow artists describe his technique will give you a whole new appreciation for his work. “These are special,” one artist says, “and they’re very labor intensive. It takes many, many, many man hours. It takes a lot of hours to do an oil painting, but this is an oil painting and a sculpture. And painting on screw heads is not as easy as it is on a flat surface.”

Abstract Moving Sculptures Using Microsoft Kinect
I’m amazed that this entire abstract video was made using a simple Microsoft Kinect! Be sure to check out the making of below as well.
The potential of Microsoft’s motion sensing device Kinect is taken to new heights as Daniele Franke (We Are Chopchop) and Cedric Kiefer (onformative) have created a unique abstract artwork reminiscent of The Sandman in Spiderman 3. The artwork, titled unnamed soundsculpture, features a visual interpretation of the song “Kreukeltape” by Machinenfabriek.

Dancing Fluids Look Like A Work Of Art
Fluids that dance in such a way that it leaves you completely hypnotized, especially set to beautiful music.
Like a music video for the scientifically minded, the short film below explores the unusual world of ferrofluid, a liquid which acts a lot like a gelatinous magnet. The second installment in an ongoing series of experiments, the film was made by Singapore based photographer/videographer Afiq Omar, who edited it with a distinctly dark and rhythmic style that’s as intriguing as it is creepy. Omar’s goal was to create something using ‘analog’ effects, so what you see here uses few modifications after shooting, showing the utter weirdness of his subject material and his talent as a videographer.
