... ? Data visualization - information as art and info-aestheticsFlash is a good environment for visualizing data and particularly since the release of Flash MX we've seen a lot of useful charting components released. Graphical representation can be a useful way of providing the viewer with a qualitative understanding of the information's contents. Data can also be made to appear beautiful by applying imagined abstract schemas to transform the data into something else, Art.

... ? Picasa digital photo albums, sharing & printing: Learn MoreWe built Picasa because we were frustrated with how difficult it was to find, organize and do things with our digital pictures. When Picasa 1.0 came out we received rave reviews from our users and the press. We also got great feedback on how Picasa could be even better. Well, we listened and released Picasa 1.6. We kept everything that was great about 1.0 and added things like more file formats, movie support, cropping, instant picture sharing via Hello and much, much more.

Stuckism, the art movement founded by Tracey Emin's former boyfriend to oppose the pretensions of Britart, claims to advocate "honest, uncensored expression".
Unfortunately, the Daily Mail does not appear to share those values, and has sacked one of its leading writers, who claims her sideline as a Stuckist painter did not conform to the paper's high moral tone.
Jane Kelly, who has worked for the paper for 15 years, says she was dismissed after a colleague wrote an article that featured her latest work, a picture of Myra Hindley cradling a child and a teddy bear.

Picasso's Weeping Woman, with its haggard, fractured features and clash of colours, made me want to give that haunting face a voice. In the end I wrote in the voice of Dora Maar, the woman on whose face Weeping Woman is based:
They say that instead of a brush
he used a knife on me -
a savage geometry.
But as I say, look again,
this is the closest
anyone has got to the pain.

Liz Dunn is 42 years old, and lonely. Her house is like 'a spinster's cell block', and she may or may not snore – there's never been anybody to tell her. Then one day in 1997, with the comet Hale Bopp burning bright in the blue-black sky, Liz receives an urgent phone call asking her to visit a young man in hospital. All at once, the loneliness that has come to define her is ripped away by this funny, smart, handsome young stranger, Jeremy. Her son.
