Astronomical Clock in Strasbourg Cathedral

‘The cathedral’s south transept houses an 18-metre astronomical clock, one of the largest in the world  . . .  The astronomical part is unusually accurate; it indicates leap years, equinoxes, and much more astronomical data. Thus it was already much more a complex calculating machine than a bare clock.’

Photography by Peter Rinblad. More about the clock here.

Ophelia

A few years back, I put the fetish work of Olivier Lelong in an exhibition of New Media.

Recently, he posted his latest work on my MySpace page, images from his Ophelia’s Dead series. I still love the crowd on MySpace.
