radiohead
In Radiohead's video for "House of Cards", no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data giving the images of a party, street scene and lead singer Thom Yorke an eerie and enigmatic effect. Directed by James Frost.
The technique is explained in this making-of video:

poladoodles
Jinnie lives in San Francisco and showcases these cute creations on Poladoodles.com.
"So what exactly are Poladoodles, you ask? The idea formed when I started exercising spontaneous drawing and found that I had a bunch of less than perfect Polaroid shots that I couldn’t let go to waste. Each of these photographs became a tiny canvas for me to doodle, and Poladoodles were born!"

POP NOIR
Pop Noir’s unique sound … shimmering streams of chiming guitar cascading over deep, dark undercurrents of bass and drums … was born in the drizzle of Manchester, England, and seasoned in the sunshine of Southern California, as were Joe and Luke McGarry, the 21-year-old British twins who head up the Los Angeles indie dancerock trio.

billboards_that_look_back
"In advertising these days, the brass ring goes to those who can measure everything — how many people see a particular advertisement, when they see it, who they are. All of that is easy on the Internet, and getting easier in television and print.
Billboards are a different story. For the most part, they are still a relic of old-world media, and the best guesses about viewership numbers come from foot traffic counts or highway reports, neither of which guarantees that the people passing by were really looking at the billboard, or that they were the ones sought out.
Now, some entrepreneurs have introduced technology to solve that problem. They are equipping billboards with tiny cameras that gather details about passers-by — their gender, approximate age and how long they looked at the billboard. These details are transmitted to a central database.
Behind the technology are small start-ups that say they are not storing actual images of the passers-by, so privacy should not be a concern. The cameras, they say, use software to determine that a person is standing in front of a billboard, then analyze facial features (like cheekbone height and the distance between the nose and the chin) to judge the person’s gender and age. So far the companies are not using race as a parameter, but they say that they can and will soon.
The goal, these companies say, is to tailor a digital display to the person standing in front of it — to show one advertisement to a middle-aged white woman, for example, and a different one to a teenage Asian boy." Read the rest of the article here.
