Sound Wave by Jean Shin…
Records were melted and sculpted to form a cascading wave, dotted with bursts of colorful labels. The resulting structure speaks to the inevitable waves of technology that render each successive generation of recordable media obsolete. The piece also aims to physically manifest the ephemerality of music as well as one man’s musical tastes, as represented by his personal record collection. (via)

Hiroshi Nonami is a Japanese artist born in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, in 1954. All the images are made by hand. No computers, no Photoshop. There are a variety of techniques and tricks that he uses. Such as letting mold grow on the film during the summer. (That’s why some images have a moldy stain or pattern.) He also stacks the slides to combine images and obtain various effects. He admits that even he often can not predict how the image will turn out. Sometimes an error turns out to be a blessing in disguise. He does manually whatever Photoshop can do. It’s a painstaking process and no wonder if it tooks 5 years to publish a book!
