Cool Hunting
Getting closer to the experience of an actual museum, OrganisMuseum is the first online virtual art gallery in 3D. By using directional arrows and cursor you are able to "walk" around the museum's three stories to view photographic works. Clicking on the photos takes you directly in front of the image for a straight-on view where you can select different image qualities.
The current exhibit features 22 unique portraits by Andrzej Dragan called "Portraits 2004-2006." You can also visit the exhibition archives including works by Gianmarco Chieregato and photojournalist Ami Vitale.
Compatible with both Mac and PC formats, visit the gallery to download the 3D Life Player plug-in, which is necessary in order to enter the online exhibits. Give it a try here.

Frank Warren initially started this as an interactive art piece. PostSecret is a blog in which people anonymously submit their secrets on handmade 4 x 6 inch postcards via snail mail. Although some of the submissions are very humorous, others are very sad and some politically incorrect. Not only does the work evoke strong sentiments or even memories from the audience, but it also...
Spell With Flickr, a fun tool from the script-savvy Kastner, allows you to piece together words in classic ransom-note style without the hassle of scissors and paste.
