All I want for my birthday is Kodak's new Super 8 camera


Yes, you read it right, the Rochester-based company will release a new version of the iconic gadget, fifty years after it was first launched in 1965. Renowned industrial designer Yves Béhar has taken a lead role in the creation of the new camera, which has the ability to shoot in digital format as well as traditional Super 8 film cartridges.

The digital-analog hybrid cam will feature a 3.5-inch rotating viewfinder, rechargeable battery, and microSD support. What you're seeing here is just a non-working prototype, but Kodak executives plan to put it on the market in September. It'll cost between $400 and $750, but a less expensive model is expected next year.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

This app turns freehand sketches into realistic photos

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly changing the nature of creative processes. Computer algorithms have generated numerous paintings, poetry, music, and even movie scripts. While some people could not keep their hands off these innovations, the question whether AI-created art can really be deemed as art still lingers around. If you want to create photorealistic portraits but you're struggling to see improvement in your depictions, AI seems to have an answer to your problem. As stated on its project page, the DeepFaceDrawing app "allows users with little training in drawing to produce high-quality images from rough or even incomplete freehand sketches." Check out the demo video below: Impressive. But I still believe that while machines can produce stunning visuals, it doesn't mean they will replace artists.
