And, last but not least, the site that mesmerized us all on Wednesday: Automatic Beacon

About the project as written in the press release by its makers:

At 00.00hrs on January 1st 2005 an automated beacon began broadcasting on the web at http://www.automatedbeacon.net
The beacon continuously relays selected live web searches as they are being made around the world, presenting them back in series and at regular intervals.
The beacon has been instigated to act as a silent witness: a feedback loop providing a global snapshot of ourselves to ourselves in real-time.
As resources become available, ‘Beacon’ will also begin broadcasting an audio version of this signal across the web and as a series of short wave radio broadcasts and FM local area broadcasts –time and places to be confirmed.
A physical display system is also being developed for installation in public spaces, galleries &c. Please make any enquiries to: info@automatedbeacon.net

    I really enjoyed this website for it's documentation aspects. All of the family photos from the past seem to have a lot more character than the digital files we have today. They way they age really adds a sense of time to them. Whenever you sift through old photos they seem to have a direct emotional reaction that everyone can relate to in some way. It's interesting to see what thoughts are provoked by other people's old photographs.

    This is a really interesting way to view a landscape. We've all seen time lapse photography, but just to record a pixel of information for an entire landscape for over twenty hours is a really unique perspective to gain. Susan Alexis Collins did this for over an entire year, which is a really incredible idea. I would like to see all the images for the year, but only a few seemed to be posted online.

    This link features a few images from each month.

    Because of the information in the photograph I would also like to see it on a larger scale, but can only be viewed at about 3x4 inches online. I'm sure there must be a lot more detail when you can get a closer look about the effect of the light on the landscape throughout the day in a larger image. Very cool.
