Stephen Szoradi - MOCP
In his Full Circle series, Stephen Szoradi departs from the linear progression of his traditional documentary-style portraits of steel workers, in an attempt to capture the cyclical nature of his current subject, the City of Chicago water system. Silver-gelatin prints meditate on the stages of refinement that create a product and later restore it to be used again. The pictures themselves build in complexity and then seem to break down, moving from the sparseness of a single drain in an unfinished concrete room to a labyrinth of sharply angled waterways. Diptych and triptych formats reinforce themes of repetition and inter-connectedness, sometimes by creating a union from multiple parts or emphasizing the structural similarity between panels, sometimes by playing with the notion of sequence and progression inherent in adjacent frames while nonetheless showing a single time and place.

Android Developers Blog: Live wallpapers
With the introduction of live wallpapers in Android 2.1, users can now enjoy richer, animated, interactive backgrounds on their home screen. A live wallpaper is very similar to a normal Android application and has access to all the facilities of the platform: SGL (2D drawing), OpenGL (3D drawing), GPS, accelerometers, network access, etc. The live wallpapers included on Nexus One demonstrate the use of some of these APIs to create fun and interesting user experiences. For instance, the Grass wallpaper uses the phone's location to compute sunrise and sunset times in order to display the appropriate sky.
