The Art of Penguin Science Fiction

Urania’s Mirror is a boxed set of 32 constellation cards first published by Samuel Leigh of the Strand, London, in or shortly before 1825. The engraver was Sidney Hall but authorship was coyly attributed to “a lady”. Peter Hingley, librarian of the Royal Astronomical Society in London, has established that the true author was almost certainly the Reverend Richard Rouse Bloxam of Rugby (Journal of the British Astronomical Association, vol. 104, p. 238, 1994).

In the late 1960s British mathematician John Conway invented a virtual mathematical machine that operates on a two-dimensional array of square cell. Each cell takes two states, live and dead. The cells’ states are updated simultaneously and in discrete time. A dead cell comes to life if it has exactly three live neighbours. A live cell remains alive if two or three of its neighbours are alive, otherwise the cell dies. The Conway’s Game of Life became the most programmed solitary game and the most known cellular automaton. The book brings together results of forty years of study into computational, mathematical, physical and engineering aspects of the Game of Life cellular automata.

LifeWiki is a wiki designed with the hope of collecting all information about Conway's Game of Life together in one place. It contains a comprehensive catalogue of patterns as well as a glossary and general information about the game.

Naïve upsampling of pixel art images leads to unsatisfactory results. Our algorithm extracts a smooth, resolution-independent vector representation from the image which is suitable for high-resolution display devices

As an urban historian & photographer, I try to peel back the layers of a city to see what's underneath. From the tops of bridges to the depths of sewer tunnels, these explorations of the urban environment help me puzzle together the interconnected, multi-dimensional history and complexity of the great metropolises of the world.

Schon immer mehr als ein Transportmittel: die Londoner U-Bahn. Die Anthologie erzählt von den Erfahrungen ihrer Benutzer, ihren Ängsten und Hoffnungen, in Gedichten, Stories und Essays prominenter Autorinnen und Autoren.

Tantalizing, seductive, sly. A young woman full of thought with a strong will, searching eyes, complex emotions.. Reaching out, trying to touch the future, fingers grasping fantasies, dreams. A release from reality. When the air is crisp and a special light covers the city like a filter of colors and shadows. Her silhouette in the dark like a ghost but still, pulse beating – body shivering, so real yet so untouchable. This is Lolita in Nabakovs novel “Lolita”. The light of his fire, the fire of his loins. This is also the concept of this blog. Lolita is a visual inspiration-bank, full of fantasies, dreams – a filter of colors and shadows, a silhouette in the dark. Hopefully making your pulse beat, body shiver.. The hand-picked images put together are also the basis of the story about a young Lolita, living in Stockholm, Sweden – inviting you to take a walk with her, in silence..

Nice icons and wallpapers for the discerning individual, collected and curated.

Typedia is a resource to classify, categorize, and connect typefaces.

Of course, these are proposals designed to work with the Transport for London branding, not for the Olympics, and I think work perfectly in that context. For the Olympics itself, for all their cleverness and simplicity, they’d be a bit too classic Olympics, a little too safe. Perhaps.

The Mandelbrot Set is one of my hobbies, and I have collected a large amount of information about it. To organize that information I have created Mu-Ency, a large collection of text files linked to each other.

“My work is experimental and conceptual.

The process involves research and exploration;

to develop, create, analyze, and search for

things behind things. I am open to the improbable,

the unforeseen, the absurd, and believe that

mistakes can lead to the most wonderful results.”
