The Naked World of Spencer Tunick
I never took much interest in Spencer Tunicks photography. But that was because I only got to see it in the context of media coverage on his shootings. Hundreds of people getting undressed, ah well. Looking at the compilation of Tunicks works by In Focus changed my perspective. Love the ones from Amsterdam.

In its series “Will We Ever?”, the BBC tackles the big questions of science (fiction). Now that Curiosity is exploring Mars, the latest column is an obvious one: Will we ever…find life elsewhere in the universe? It’s a great read.

Cyborg America: inside the strange new world of basement body hackers
They can’t wait for cyborg body enhancements to become available. So they build and implant them by themselves. This is a thrilling (in all possible senses) report on «body hackers». They have magnets implanted in their fingertips to feel electrical waves, wear permanently attached computerised glasses and control a robot arm with their own arm across the Atlantic. Their next challenge: Implant an LED-display under the skin of the forearm to display heart rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. What makes this such a compelling read: Here you have the somewhat crazy DIY-wannabe-cyborgs, but then again this is pretty much the direction medical technology, nanotechnology and the likes of Google are leading us to.
