Prison Chess Match
So what's the prison story? Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to witness and photograph a chess match between students and prison inmates - six students versus about 60 prisoners in simultaneous chess. The event attracted journalists and a TV team, at this point I don't need to explain any further and just show you the video (my images will come later).
Back from Prison
This morning I spent inside the maximum-security section of New Jersey State Prison where I documented a curious and rare event. I'll write more about it once I find the time to go through my pictures. For now: It's about Princeton students, prison inmates, and their battle on the chessboard.

Modulo
This little piece of art is called "Modulo". It's not a photo, but I found it pretty, so why not sharing?
Images that represent basic mathematical operations, isn't that some kind of a contemporary art cliché? The modulo operation computes the remainder of a division. In this case I divide each pixel's X and Y coordinate by a fixed value and encode the remainder in the same pixel's red and green value respectively. The fixed divisor determines the size of these squares and the modulo the color gradient. The more appealing way of debugging programming code. However, sometimes you just don't know if it's your eyes or your code that needs to be corrected...
