Ooops by Chris Beckman Somewhere between a home-video mixtape and a virtual travelogue, "oops" a ten-minute experimental video composed entirely of appropriated YouTube videos, seamlessly stitched together via a motif of camera accidents serves both as transportative adventure and metaphorical elucidation of YouTube itself (i.e. endless related videos), exemplifying the Internet's infinite repository of "throwaway" social documentation. From suburbia to subterranea, the radically shuffling environs induce a vertiginous yet aesthetically contextual thread a transcendent, reincarnating POV; our omnipresent Camera by which, the nature of the ultra-verité videos, eschewing any filmic grounding, plunges the viewer into a relationship of fleeting immediacy w/ its many videographers: a self-portrait at arms length, the digital blur of an obscuring thumb, a disembodied narrating voice. This abstractly voyeuristic portrayal of an ever-filming generation (who won't let the transcendence of being in A Moment inhibit their document-everything impulse) presages a future where every instant of our existence, from the mundane to the sublime, is preserved and catalogued for all to see.

is a platform that lets people upload live streaming data from devices such as Arduino + sensors.
data such as power consumption, movement and practically anything else you could think of. the data can be set to private but pachube encourage to share data and set it to a public stream for others to "subscribe" to and create graphs or anything else they wish to use the data for.

most recently the pachube service was used to help show the areas in Japan that where most affected by the nuclear disaster with gieger counter equiped sensors. the data was mashed up with google maps and google eart. many mobile apps where made for locals and tourists to warn them of any radiation they could encouter.
