What would our dreams look like if they illustrated on walls? Sweden-based photographer Marco Grizelj worked with art director Ludde Lydéen to come up with an answer to that question in an editorial they created for magazine Odd at Large. "The images are about dreaming and the moment when the dreamer suddenly wakes up confused," Grizelj tells us.

A very interesting story about the Semantic Web and Web 3.0. Semantic Web is a term used to describe methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning - or "semantics" - of information on the World Wide Web. It's a component of 'Web 3.0.' where all of the content is linked together in meaningful relationships. An abused marketing term for some and an ideal vision for another...
