Photographer, Jennifer Abessira, of Day 49, has recently had her work exhibited on the Virtual Gallery of Walla.

In a series of digital images, Abessira explores her connection with the internet and the way it interwines with every day life.

Speaking of her 100 Days image, Abessira says
“Euphoria was taken on October of last year, the young girl in the picture is my niece. My parents and I drove to her house in Jerusalem to celebrate her fifth Birthday. I think that the picture deeply represents, philosophically, my life reflected directly through my photography. Photography for me is a form of creative journal-keeping, it etches my life and my memories whilst creating a new world of options.”

Our featured image for Day 64 comes from Brussels based Creative Agency, Happiness Brussels, in collaboration with artist, Anthony Burrill.
After visiting the Gulf of Mexico, the location of the disastrous BP oil spill earlier this year, the team collected oil from the sand on the beaches to create a limited edition poster to raise awareness of the disaster. 200 posters were sold online with all proceeds going to the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.

Council House 2 (CH2), as featured in our image of the day on Day 58 , is an initiative by the City of Melbourne with a new approach to ecologically sustainable design and construction.
With its many innovative and technological features the CH2 is able to cut C02 emissions by 87%, electricity usage by 82%, gas usage by 87% and water usage by 72%.
CH2 has been designed to not only conserve energy and water, but the quality of the internal environment of building has also been designed to improve the wellbeing of its occupants.

Today’s image, Day 56, has been contributed by installation artist, Swoon, who is currently a part of The Black Rat Project’s “Small Acts of Resistance” exhibition.
In “Small Acts of Resistance” five international contemporary artists have been brought together, whose work bears the stamp of both the artist’s aesthetic vision and the activist’s world changing ambition. Works by Peter Kennard, Matt Small, Know Hope and Armsrock will be on display from Thursday 4th November – Tuesday 30th November 2010 at the Shoreditch Gallery. In addition to this, there is a large-scale installation especially created by Swoon on-site.

This exhibition references in title a recently published collection of stories collated by advocacy director of Amnesty International Steve Crawshaw and Human Rights activist Jon Jackson. The preface to their book was written by Czech writer and dissident Vaclav Haval who explains the misnomer in the title:
‘Today, millions around the world live in circumstances where it might seem that nothing will ever change. But they must remember that the rebellions that took place all across Eastern Europe in 1989 were the result of a series of individual actions by ordinary people which together made change inevitable. Small Acts of Resistance pays tribute to those who have sought to live in truth, and the impact that can have. In my lifetime, I have repeatedly seen that small acts of resistance have had incomparably greater impact than anybody could have predicted at the time. Small acts of resistance are not just about the present and the past. I believe they are about the future, too.’
