I think I have written about Phresh.gr some time ago in this blog. The idea started as an inspiration blog of four (1, 2, 3, 4) greek creatives and soon a fifth one joined in and a sixth one too!
Here are some words from Phresh itself!
Every day we’re forced to see thousands of images -still or moving- without having the right to choose with aesthetic or even basic eye-pleasing criteria. We resist by being selctive!
Phresh.gr is comprised of 5 individuals with an eye for the visually interesting content, presenting the creme -de-la-creme of imagery found all over the web. To cut the long story short, Phresh.gr is sharing it’s inspiration forces with the world. How Generous is that?
Why not visiting the site yourself?
Sure, you will find lots of inspirational works, images, photographs and videos. Phresh is here to stay!
Visit the portfolio website of Giorgos Maraziotis and see some fantastic illustrations, paintings and photography.
Wish him good luck for his exhibition in Prague.
Just discovered this site/project, Personas. Through your online activity and findings, it creates a profile that relates to different subjects. A very interesting project with a fantastic interface, animations and graphics.
You can try it yourself by visiting the website, here.
Here is some text as taken straight from the website:
What is Personas?
Personas is a component of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at theMIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab. It uses sophisticated natural language processing and the Internet to create a data portrait of one’s aggregated online identity. In short, Personas shows you how the Internet sees you.
How does it work?
Enter your name, and Personas scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person - to fit them to a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data. The computational process is visualized with each stage of the analysis, finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile.
Philosophy
In a world where fortunes are sought through data-mining vast information repositories, the computer is our indispensable but far from infallible assistant. Personas demonstrates the computer’s uncanny insights and its inadvertent errors, such as the mischaracterizations caused by the inability to separate data from multiple owners of the same name. It is meant for the viewer to reflect on our current and future world, where digital histories are as important if not more important than oral histories, and computational methods of condensing our digital traces are opaque and socially ignorant.
Credits
Personas was created by Aaron Zinman, with help from Alex Dragulescu, Yannick Assogba and Judith Donath.

I have been seeing these illustrations and drawings for some time now but I wasn’t aware of their creator. Andy Gilmore has a great attention to detail, color and composition. I love his work and really wish I could visit the exhibition at the Pool Gallery in Berlin.
