Houses in Canada are interesting.
P.S. I'm kind of, sort of, maybe back on Flickr. I've gotten waaaay too lazy with it.
Jason Miller creates his conceptually driven images in-studio, Memphis, TN. Miller is interested in making imagery that deals with human subjects interrelating and communicating through archaic 20th century artifacts. He works both in single imagery as well as grand format digital montage. Historical topics including Memento mori, Vanitas, and a self-reflection on modern human inventions of communication paired with mirrors and symbolism are placed in communion with the use of chiaroscuro, thoroughly considered custom museum dioramas, and highly detailed photographic based renderings. .

No images, mediated or otherwise, are used that do not first pass directly through Millerâs camera. The goal of the photographically created images is to transcend being merely esthetically pleasing in order to arrive at a materialization of the underlying thought process. "My work is designed, from conception to final presentation, to lay bare the struggle and chess play behind my process.".
-JN Miller
A conceptual installation that deals with humanity's need to organize nature and the requirements of technology. The inflatable moose symbolizes the fickle insincerity of nature in its relationship with man while the figure of Carl and his snorkel illustrates the requirement that technology must mesh completely with humanity if man is expected to prevail. Out of this comes the metaphor that these relationships all play into the raft regatta and the Photo department's need to win.

More than twenty years ago, Günther Domenig began to build a house for himself on a narrow sliver of lakeside property in the mountains of Carinthia, Austria. He conceived it as a work of architecture limited only by his imagination and skill, at once a manifesto and an experiment, the outcome of which he could not be sure of at the beginning. The structure grew year by year, piece by piece, following an every-evolving set of sketches and technical drawings, and was financed from his own architectural practice in Graz. When he had a little extra money, he put it into the construction. While the building is called a house, it was never intended as a residence. In fact, Domenig, when he lived at the site over the years, stayed in a small, box-like metal trailer away from the house, not wanting, perhaps, to confuse its purposes. It’s sole purpose was to be architecture.

Hope. Even the smallest spark can light up a dark space.

UBERMORGEN.COM [A/CH/USA, *1999]
UBERMORGEN.COM is an artist duo created in Vienna, Austria, by Lizvlx
and Hans Bernhard, a founder of etoy. Behind UBERMORGEN.COM we can
find one of the most unmatchable identities – controversial and
iconoclast – of the contemporary European techno-fine-art avant-
garde. Their open circuit of conceptual art, drawing, software art,
pixel- painting, computer installations, net.art, sculpture and
digital activism (media hacking) transforms their brand into a hybrid
Gesamtkunstwerk. UBERMORGEN.COM’s work is unique not because of what
they do but because how, when, where and why they do it. The computer
and the network are (ab)used to create art and combine its multiple
forms. The permanent amalgamation of fact and fiction points toward
an extremely expanded concept of one’s working materials, that for
UBERMORGEN.COM also include (international) rights, democracy and
global communication (input-feedback loops). “Ubermorgen” is the
German word both for “the day after tomorrow” or “super-tomorrow”.
