...land preserve—now viewed as a rarity amidst suburban sprawl—once constituted the entire landscape. What is so effective about these and MacLean’s other images is that they display an action and its consequences from the distance of a plane and a camera lens—just far enough to encompass a vision that our own eyes normally crop.Like MacLean’s photographs, the work of Anne Whiston Spirn reveals a profound concern with the consequences of human efforts to shape nature. But where MacLean takes viewers miles above his subjects, Spirn...
...short distance, the photograph appears to be quite energetic, if not original; the women’s heads fill the frame and seem to push towards the right side of the photograph.

The set collects episodes and commentary from movie directors including Arthur Hiller (Love Story) and Mark Rydell (On Golden Pond) as well as actor-directors like Dennis Weaver and William Conrad. In his commentary, Weaver explains why Gunsmoke used more long...
...Microsoft-designed tabletop has an overhead camera that records a patient's pill intake. There is also a projector that beams down a checkerboard image, allowing a virtual game between friends in different homes. Being tested: having the camera record the board moves and then feeding those images to a computer, which analyzes the times it takes a player to make a move and the speed and dexterity with which he shifts the checkers, to spot changes that might indicate a deterioration in brain functions...
