Posted by Odette Bohr Dienel in category: media & arts
“The Snap—Ammunition’s third design for Polaroid, after last year’s Cube action camera and Zip instant mobile printer—is a decidedly modern instant camera. Unlike its predecessors, it doesn’t use ink cartridges. Instead, it uses inkless printing tech developed by a company called Zink. Heat from the printer reacts with dye crystals embedded in the photo paper to create the image.”

Political polarization on Twitter depends on the issue | Phys.org
Posted by Odette Bohr Dienel in category: media & arts
““To some extent, social media platforms can promote democratic deliberation and the exchange of ideas from different perspectives,” says Barberá. “Even for the most divisive topics, such as the 2012 presidential election, we did not see a perfect division on Twitter — while people may encounter political views that they agree with, they’ll encounter divergent opinions as well.””

He believes that working with cast-off items reflects the city’s character. (The mottled woods certainly captures New York’s tougher side.)”
