Time Is a Dimension by Singapore-based photographer Fong Qi Wei is a series of landscapes shot from single vantage points over a period of 2 to 4 hours at sunset or sunrise, digitally sliced up and reassembled into layered ‘timelapse’ collages that illustrate the passage of time. Sez he:
The basic structure of a landscape is present in every piece. But each panel or concentric layer shows a different slice of time, which is related to the adjacent panel/layer. The transition from daytime to night is gradual and noticeable in every piece, but would not be something you expect to see in a still image.
Similarly, our experience of a scene is more than a snapshot. We often remember a sequence of events rather than a still frame full of details. In this series, I strive to capture both details and also a sequence of time in a single 2 dimensional canvas.

My parents recently bumped into this guy who was filming using Quadcopters and DSLR cameras on Galley Head near Rosscarbery, Co. Cork. I managed to get in contact with him and he sent me a link to the footage, which turned out to be pretty good!

Japanese artist Manabu Ikeda works eight hours a day, taking up to a year to complete gigantic paper illustrations that combine traditional Japanese architecture and landscapes, nature, decay, science fiction and whatever you’re having yourself.
With no idea how the finished piece will turn out, he allows his imagination to dictate the work from day to day, working with an acryllic pen on one 4 x 4 inch square of the illustration at a time.

My brother in law, Dave Hunt, is a computer guy who has invented a way to put Raspberries into an iPad or something or other. You’ll have to ask him yourself. Anyway, he is also a tremendously talented photographer and he put this timelapse of the Burren together recently. Thought you might like it. He makes me sick.
Dave recommends full screen and HD for best effect.

Italian painter Valerio D’Ospina’s stunning oil-on-canvas city portraits – analogue drama in a digital age.
Details from Sleepless Wonderland by Shanghai artist Yang Yongliang, whose massive photographic collages look like traditional Chinese landscape paintings from a distance but, viewed close up, reveal dystopias of industrialisation and urban sprawl.
