Cassini Mission

A short film from Chris Abbas. Still black and whites from NASA’s Saturn-orbiting Cassini mission were strung together as if compiling a flipbook. The backing audio incorporates Saturn radio-emission recordings.

More on the process over at The Atlantic.

I’m a bit late on this, but hey…I only just saw it. Love this photo, from a fairly amazing series by Nick Brandt.

I recently came across Wayne Levin’s work through Say Mayday (by way of Shakas and Singlefins). Primarily an underwater photographer, Levin captures moments in which people appear to exist naturally in an alien world. It’s in sharp contrast with the Kuroshio Sea where the piece’s subjects exist in air and water, separated by glass.
