↩ Jacob's Ephemerata

A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Attribution

It saddens me to see so many Tumblrites too readily posting awesome stuff—without making any effort to provide attribution for a piece.* When someone’s spent time creating the work you’re appreciating, surely expressing one’s gratitude if only by mentioning who they are and linking to their site is worthwhile… It may in fact be impossible, but like any journey, the very act of attempting it unleashes such plentiful discoveries along the way. :-D

Using Google Image Search to search for an image (right-click the image and copy URL, then click the camera icon on the search page to paste) is remarkably easy, and often effective.

* Withstanding memes and mashups, of course.

Selected works by Zimoun, a Swiss sound installation artist. Featuring in Nuit Blanche NYC (1st Oct.), Pulse Miami (1st–4th Dec.), FIAC Paris (20th–23rd Oct.), and other places.
