Tag Galaxy

Get the full effect at taggalaxy.de


Sure, photography is a relatively new art form.  It's only been around about a century and a half, right?

So it seems like there have always been photos.  There have always been photo albums.  It's not like electronic media have changed that a whole lot, right?

Wrong.  Or, at least, partly so.

One of the things that electronic media has done is simplified the way we experience our vast and growing collection of images.  Take for instance, Tag Galaxy.  It's a site that pulls images from Flickr and displays them—based on their tags—as orbiting celestial bodies.  But when you click to zoom in, you get to see the photos inhabiting their own little planets.

It's really quite something, and you should see it for yourself.
