X-Ray Art of Xavier Lucchesi

Creative use of x-ray technology creates abstract photography that turns it’s portrait subjects more alien. Discovered via designboom:

french photographer xavier lucchesi has created the series ‘radio portraits’ or ‘interior landscape’ in which all of the images have been captured with a medical scanner. in this way the artist sees, the ‘internal journey of self’. lucchesi first has the subject’s image captured in an advanced x-ray machine either pictured by themselves or with a large or small object clutched to their figure. after the medical scan has been completed, the image is enhanced by lucchesi digitally by the addition of color, highlighting of certain shapes or organs only visible to the human eye with the utilization of this photographic technology.

Montreal’s Biosphere Environmental Museum

The Biosphere is one of the only museums of its kind, dedicated solely to the environment and environmental education. Each of the halls in the museum are dedicated to a series of rotating exhibitions, such as recycling, water issues of the world, and even trash trackers, which teaches visitors just what happens when they throw something away.

The geodesic pavilion was originally designed by Buckminster Fuller, but several green technologies have been added since the additional buildings were constructed inside in 1995.
