A repost from New Scientist
Does objective reality exist? Is there an underlying truth that doesn't depend on the observer?
According to quantum physics, there may be no consistent reality. Not
only do we change the outcome of experiments by what we choose to
measure, but we can alter those results after they've already happened.
In this animation, find out how our choices of what to observe can
change what actually happens, and what that means for our understanding
of reality. A classic experiment illustrates the conundrum by attempting
to measure whether a photon behaves as a particle or a wave. It turns
out that it can be either, or a mixture of both, depending on how the
experiment is set up.

"the photographic diary project" by Jimmy Owenns
Reposted from Rhizome 2001
This work by Jimmy Owenns reflects some of my own ideas about the concept of the photograph album, the snapshot photograph and the manner in which we take and react to such photographs. I am interested in both Jimmy s concept and his choice and use of medium and his mode of presentation.
