Serrated Image

Hard to believe, but these images aren't photoshopped. They are actually original photographs from Angus Brown, an artist featured previously in Wired Magazine. They are taken through a process called synchroballistic photography. In it, the subject and photographer are moving in the same direction at a similar speed, thus the subject becomes slightly warped and the background becomes indiscernible. What is perhaps most interesting relative to this method from an architectural frame, is the dialogue it sets up relative to the figure/ground argument - that being in some cases the subject is subsumed by, or synchronized to the background through motion, and visa versa.
