Other Suns
The Tate has an exhibit hall dominated by a huge, sun-like light source composed of "mono-frequency lamps [that] emit light at such a narrow frequency that colours other than yellow and black are invisible, thus transforming the visual field around the sun into a vast duotone landscape."
Exit Planet Dust.
LANDSAT Exhibit
The Library of Congress has an exhibit of lovely LANDSAT images. Shame they aren't on the web at higher resolution.
Related to the post above, many of these are false color images. I must tell you since I've spent the last few weeks staring at LANDSAT and ASTER imagery, trying to interpret images in wavelengths unknown to the human eye for long periods of time causes some very interesting perceptual disorientation.
