In a NYT rundown of best new ideas of the year, http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/12/14/magazine/2008_IDEAS.html#c-ideas-4 . I found this interesting. A virtual fashion show with one model, enpixelated and reiterated 12 times, passing herself on the runway in awful outfits. It's not necessarily a new idea, but it is real now and I was struck by the soullessness of the very realistic image. That same robotic lack of expression that you see in real models on the runway is reproduced exactly in the digital version, a strange artificial person image-imitating life-imitating personlessness. It's a pretty intense flash movie, download-wise, but it is interesting. Good music.
