Short and Snappy (No. 4)
| The Powerhouse Museum’s Electronic Swatchbook displays swatches from their collection from the 1890s to 1920s – the flip-book format of the site is a pleasure to use. The Potted Meat Museum - Don’t you just love the way anyone can be a Curator these days?! (via Happy Palace) Librarians Trading Cards at Flickr – reminds me of school holidays spent playing Magic with the kids in my street – happy days! (Via Hanging Together) Marian contemplates the aesthetics of ‘cute’ over at Speak Up. Bridge Girl is crowned Australia’s best blogger – the blog documents Artist Jodie Rose’s attempt to capture sounds of bridge cables around the world. Congratulations! Maybe I’m just not sensitive enough, but I’ve never gone this crazy over art. Museum Photographers appears to have received a snazzy new redesign – yet another reason to visit this impressive blog on museum photography. Gamelan Playtime – an interactive sound installation displayed over a 30 metre wall on London’s Southbank – Cool. (Via Pixel Sumo) Circus Musuem – ‘Welkom bij circusmuseum.nl, dé beeldbank met posters, foto’s en prenten uit de verzameling van Jaap Best, de grootste circuscollectie van Nederland’. The online catalogue for The University of Melbourne’s Medical Museum is comprehensive and inspiring – especially for my colleague Megan and I as we attempt to digitise the WA Medical Museum’s collection. And finally, a new competition from Designboom – Shelter in a Cart. Don't forget to send your tips to MODE for the next installment of Short and Snappy.
