Remixed Danish tourist poster reflects the brutal Copenhagen police actions

Check out this brilliantly made remix of the classic old ‘Wonderful Copenhagen’ poster, made by Camilla Brodersen. A remix that so accurately visualizes the political shift in mentality that has happened in Denmark over the last 5-6 years. I found it at Boing Boing – read the original post here.

Web 2.0-services as old book covers

For everyone with a weak spot for the graphical aesthetics of book covers in the 70’s (which includes me), the mashup of those with current web 2.0-services by artist Stéphane Massa-Bidal (aka Hulk4598, or Rétrofuturs) is both hilarious and beautiful.

Where’s Rob? Improv Everywhere strike again
