Six days ago Blu posted Muto on Vimeo and since then it has been watched a quarter of a million times. Personally, I would love to know more about the process.

This is a great community art project! 

I tied a disposable camera to a bench with a sign that read:

Good afternoon,
I attached this camera to the bench so you could take pictures. Seriously. So have fun. I’ll be back later this evening to pick it up.
Love, Jay / The Plug

When I retrieved the camera that night, I was happy to find that the entire roll of film had been shot. Below are the photos that were taken.

I was image google-ing NYC maps the other day and I came across this beautiful map of our city.manhattan.png

The blog it’s from, strange maps, has lots of other interesting (yet not as beautiful) content.

Crumpler, the maker of fine bags and bag-like objects, has intrigued us with their tiny matchbox. As a charitable gesture they have manufactured thousands of these tiny flea houses for homeless fleas across the city. Bravo.
