Google as surveillance for looting?

Interesting idea here...use Google as a mechanism for the surveillance of areas rich with antiquities. Seems a highly plausible method for rather remote areas accessible to looters.

GIF made with the NYPL Labs Stereogranimator


The NYPL has created an entire website, entitled Stereogranimator, devoted to animated gifs made from Stereographs, or twin photographs separated by a distance of mere inches. The purpose behind such a merge is to give the effect of 3-dimensions. But this strikes me as simply seizure-inducing. Thoughts?

VIP 2.0 MUCH IMPROVED

Congratulations are due to the VIP Art Fair for a MUCH improved 2nd round at their online venture. The navigation is cleaner, the videos smoother, and while I haven't attempted any chats, I'm guessing that functionality is much improved too. The zoom feature is simply out of control. You can zoom for days.

SHOUT OUT to Limoncello gallery (London) for doing it yet again. They take The Pit award for best booth. Limoncello has presented a seriously witty display. In lieu of artworks, they've presented a series of photographs of artist's studios (seen above). The detail photos help you pick out which of the objects in the fray are actually for sale.
