While I'm polishing up some more Zambia posts, whatever constitutes regular blogramming may intermittently continue.
In the vein of which, GS&P have put together a project for their local Dali museum that warrants your attention, and thus I duly bring it to it.
As I've mentioned before, I think it behoves us to strike up friendships and partnerships with technology companies just as we historically have with media companies.
And that's what they did.
The idea was what if an iPhone app could apply a surreal filter to your images and thus unleash your inner Dali.
So they partnered with Hipstamatic – who liked the idea so much they created a lens and film pak for the app and did it for free, so all proceeds go to the museum.
The museum is running a contest for photos taken with the app – with the winner flown out to California. So go have a look.
I'm a big fan of Dali from way back when his Dream Caused by the Flight of A Bee around a Pomegranate A Second Before Awakening adorned my bedroom wall as a kid.
I always loved his particular blend of realistically or graphically rendered icons and objects and surreal situations…photosurrealism, if you will.
