		<title>DIY ambisonic microphone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shown above is the tetrahedral microphone array Dan uses to record his soundscapes, three of which he played back on the ACTlab&#8217;s surround-sound system. The tetrahedral microphone arrangement makes it possible to mathematically derive any number or spatial arrangement of surround-sound channels from the raw audio. Professional ambisonic microphones cost thousands of dollars; Dan put [...]]]></description>

This region is in the center of a large crater at mid-north latitude on Mars, a couple of hours past local noon, and with a resolution of 50 cm (18 inches) per pixel.

		<description><![CDATA[From a well-framed photographic perspective it is clear that this incredible wall-to-wall, ground-to-roof, full-building mural is compelling (and dizzying) in its realism – but even more amazing, it is likewise shockingly surreal from almost any other angle or position.
Playing both with perspective and with existing actually-3D decorative and structural elements, it is hard to see [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Michael Olivieri:
In collaboration with nano scientists Dr. Zhengwei Pan and his research group at the University of Georgia, I have created a new series of work called “innerspace”.
