See-Through Tractor Trailer

Their latest advertising gimmick, intended to encourage safe driving, is a see-through tractor trailer. A camera on the front of the truck captures what’s going on ahead and projects it on a screen on the back of the trailer. It’s called “Transparentius.”

Electrifying Landscape Photography Captures Our Electric World

We've all seen long exposure photography, allowing you to create shapes with light. But I don't think any of us has seen anything quite like the work of Barry Underwood, a landscape photographer for our connected, electric world.

You can see the collection with your own eyes as it's on display from November 21st 2009 - January 9th 2010 at Johansson Projects in Oakland, CA. [Johansson Projects and Barry Underwood, Via: BLDBLOG, Via: Gizmodo]
