PHOTOBOOTH PROJECTS

photomatisme

WEBSITE

This project aims to "give a face to the Web" by collecting user-submitted photostrips. Hovering over a gray dot to the right loads a frame from a different photostrip. The main page notes there are currently 1152 photos in the collection. Impressive.

Of special interest is the collection of links in the "Liens" section, and the clever Photomatisation web app (link at right under gray circles).

Due to my lackluster French translation skills, I turn to the all-powerful Google Translate to help me along. A gem of a quote from the About page: "The official sites of Photo-Me the USA and Photomaton in France are to be shit." Funny mostly due to the robotic sounding translation of "are to be shit."
