My favourite session from last week's FlashForward conference in Austin was by Mario Klingmann, of Quasimondo fame. Mario's session covered some of the techiques he uses to create 'mash-ups' - projects that incorporate media from various sources like Flickr, YouTube, and de.licio.us.  

As well as showing the workings behind some of his older projects like Tagnautica and Flickeur, Mario also showed us a few new projects. The Stake lets you burn images from anywhere on the web. Burn books! Burn photos! Burn websites. It's a teenage pyromaniac's dream come true. Picturedisko lets you put photos on a turntable and liten to what the sound like when the pixels are converted to music. Both are fun to play with and are, as is always the case with Mario's work, flawlessly executed.
