Multiverse makes me think of two things:

One - The term 'Underverse'; which is from the Riddick movies.

Two - Multipass; which is what Leeloo repeats a lot in 'The Fifth Element'.

Lol.

But I do like this picture, though. It's really cool.

Classy. BY THE WAY,i;m interested as to how you stop people from using your art?,for future ref. ,say,i take a pic. that i think is amazing!!

aponom In reply to TRIP101 [2012-04-11 03:15:26 +0000 UTC]

I have no idea, maybe somebody is using it. The only way to really prevent it is not to post it on the internet, that is the dilemma... I hate watermarks, they usually ruin the picture, so I just post lower resolution pics. Thanks for your comment!

TRIP101 In reply to aponom [2012-04-11 17:18:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for reply ,so,low res. pic;s make it difficult to use them? Thanks.

aponom In reply to TRIP101 [2012-04-12 16:29:14 +0000 UTC]

It will put some limits on how you can use them. Of course, they would be good enough for web presentation, but if one wants to use them in some printed material, then the higher resolution would be required.

TRIP101 In reply to aponom [2012-04-12 18:00:26 +0000 UTC]

Excellent answer,thanks.As it happens,my pic;s are taken on a palmcorder [photo - 1 meg pixel ] and mostly they are zoomed in .So v. low quality.

Tianithen In reply to ??? [2012-04-08 11:52:03 +0000 UTC]

Very cool. I'd love to see the actual sculpture, shame Washington is MILES away. I like how the photo simultaneously makes me feel like I'm zooming through space but at the same time watching something very ordinary (people browsing in an art gallery). Clever.

aponom In reply to Tianithen [2012-04-11 03:17:01 +0000 UTC]

In real life the effect is even stronger, the moving lights combine with the moving walkway, it is really cool! Thanks for stopping by!
