Powers of Ten Powers of Ten is a seminal documentary film produced in 1977 by Charles and Ray Eames, better known in their lifetimes as boundary-pushing designers and architects. It attempts to do visually what exponents do mathematically: that is, render intelligible the unfathomably vast and the infinitely small. Beginning at a lakeside picnic, the camera pans out to the edge of the observable universe before diving into the human body, passing through an individual cell to the vibrations of its component carbon atoms. The film itself has aged surprisingly well, and its central premise—making the microcosm and macrocosm both relative and relevant to the human scale—hasn’t aged at all. You can watch it and further explore each order of magnitude here. - Alex Tesar

Randy Scott Slavin: Alternate PerspectivesRandy Scott Slavin is an award winning and sought after filmmaker from NYC whose music videos, described as mashups of clever concepts and bold imagery, encapsulate the energy of modern pop culture. He approaches photography with the same philosophy he applies to filmmaking – to push concepts to a stimulating and engaging level.“When I began shooting landscapes, I was compelled to push the perspective. After experimenting heavily with panoramic photography, I developed a technique that could realize my desire to turn the real into the surreal.”  Slavin’s process consists of digitally “stitching” together hundreds of photos to reach his desired final product. To see the landscapes and cityscapes of his ‘Alternate Perspectives’ series, click here.- Shaya Ishaq

THE ART PROCESS: photographing your insides (but don’t do this one at home) Want to know what film looks like once it’s gone through your body? Well two University students from Kingston decided to find out, announced The Lomography Society in early June. But before you get started, wait and don’t do it. At the beginning of their post, the Lomography Society clearly warns “Disclaimer: do not try this at home,”  and you shouldn’t since film is toxic, but as always it’s super cool to see other people do it. For the images above Luke Evans and Josh Lake swallowed 35 mm film and then scanned the damaged film electronically to get some crazy results. To see more of their work, click here for Luke Evans and here for Josh Lake. - Lee Jones [image credit - the Creative Review]
