Stairway to the Tree Canopy

I climbed a good number of trees in my youth. And with most of the larger ones, having to resort to either a ladder system or foothold boards nailed to the trunk to ascend. This new invention by a couple of young British designers is uniquely clever. I’d love to try this out!

This group of blind participatants areÂ guided by sound, smell, touch, taste, and imagination to create their photos. My question: who chooses what photos they exhibit?

Animator vs. animation

Dave — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:19:49 +0000
