Anna Atkins, the 19th century botanist and photographer whose Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions is widely regarded as the first photographic book, made her images by placing algae directly onto paper coated with a light-sensitive solution. Where the plant blocked the ultraviolet light, the paper remained white. Everywhere else, it turned the deep Prussian blue that gives the process its name. At the center of each image, the algae’s fronds produced their own negative.
Emily A. Sprague first encountered cyanotypes while shooting film photography in her bathtub around 2018, when she was experimenting with leaking light into film and altering development times and temperatures. As opposed to her…

For the most recent offering on Easy Eye Sound, the Swiss-Ecuadorian siblings Hermanos Gutiérrez wanted to craft an instrumental love letter to South America. The resulting ten-track breezy affair, Los Ojos Del Cóndor, is an elegant journey through these soundscapes.

There is a particular kind of light that only exists after rain has finished falling but before the sun has arrived – a grey-gold hour where the wet ground holds more colour than the sky. Space Afrika has always made records that live inside that hour.

…A major downtown transit hub, Chicago’s Union Station occupies an archaic building that is poorly designed, often crowded, and notoriously associated with delayed commuter trains. Sections of it are literally falling apart.

As Madelyn Byrd’s Through Damp Canyons opens, the camera is still. It’s a hot, dark night on the Sonoran Desert where they came of age – so dark that the arid landscape immediately disappears into the backdrop as thousands of insect wings buzz like uninterrupted static. Then, a motorcycle revs into the foreground, and the camera begins to move with it. Over the course of

The configuration of bass, drums, and piano is an all-too common one in the world of jazz music, but when those instruments are somewhat turned on their heads, the results can be unique and often stunning. That’s certainly the case with

In Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s 2021 film Memoria, Tilda Swinton’s protagonist awakens in the middle of the night to a loud, startling sound with no clear source. The sound seems to follow her around in the days after, repeating at random intervals, but only she can hear it — a mystery that sends her on a journey deep into the Colombian jungle for answers. What she hears, a single note, is jarring and strangely physical, a sort of sonorous thud.

Similarly disruptive bass notes are all over

Summer is ending. We must not say this out loud; it is a hard pill to swallow. For many people, summer has already ended; vacations are over, classes have begun, the water has cooled. 
The line between poetry and music has always been a blurry one. Christopher Nolan recently claimed he cast musician and hip hop artist Travis Scott in his epic The Odyssey because the Homeric saga has been handed down through civilisations as “oral poetry, which is analogous to rap,” and therefore he was directly evolving the craft. Now, perhaps more convincingly and certainly less commercially, Tehran-based composer
