In 2005, Norway initiated a massive 15-year agenda to generate more tourism. The government turned to architects and designers to concept and build tourist routes and architectural rest stops to enhance the experience of the stunning Norwegian landscape. The projects span from the southern town of Jaeren to the northern tip of Varenger. Visitors and Norwegian natives alike are afforded the luxury of safe roads and reveling in clean and relaxing architecturally inspired viewpoints. The ongoing project has been aptly named, The National Tourist Routes In Norway, and features an array of architects including Margrete Friis, Peter Zumthor, PUSHAK arkitekter, Code Arkitektur, Manthey Kula, Snøhetta AS, and Jensen and Skodvin to name a few. The architects have worked together to connect the dots throughout the country and form a network of breathtaking valleys, farms, rivers, and mountain cliffs – creating a lattice of scenic masterpieces that would make just about anyone (Nordic or otherwise) want to shimmy into warm genser, bring a matpakke, and take in the sights.

I like people that break from the norm. A long-time Street Anatomy fan and soon-to-be doctor, Stephen, recently sent in this image of an anatomical heart made up entirely of the words from his dissertation. He put tons of effort into studying a particular cardiac arrhythmia, noted below the heart, and instead of hanging fancy diplomas on the wall, he chose to immortalize his time and efforts into a piece of anatomical art.

Well done Stephen!

Stephan Tillmans, a Berlin-based artist, recently set to work capturing television screens the exact second they had been turned off. Each abstract system, according to Ignant, a German design, art and photography blog, is like a fingerprint. Unique to the moment of release, the duration of exposure and the device type, each of Tillmans' photographs is one-of-a-kind.

"The television picture is no longer visible -- instead, a structure of light, which in a fraction of a second, disappears in the picture tube and collapses," Tillmans explains .  "The TV image is abstracted in this process and reduced to its essential element: the light."

Still found in televisions that haven't been replaced by newer (and slimmer) LCD screens, the cathode ray tube (CRT) technology necessary for this photography project has been around for more than 110 years. Also used in computer monitors, video camera, radar displays and more, cathode ray tubes are modified vacuum tubes in which images are produced by electron beams hitting a phosphorescent surface. In modern tubes, multiple beams of electrons are used to display millions of diferent colors.

Called "Leuchtpunktordnungen," Tillmans' work will be displayed in Stuttgart beginning Thursday, March 24, before moving to Washington, D.C.'s Goethe Institute in June.
