They also discovered some interesting facts from the experiment, such as: New York is the world’s most photographed city (12 million images), and the midtown Apple Store is the fifth most photographed location in the city.

The images are both hauntingly beautiful and a disturbing reminder of wasted possibilities. A wide variety of abandoned subjects are explored, including man-made homages like the Cadillac Ranch. Dormant buildings are shown that are slowly being reclaimed by nature, or being reclaimed as graffitti canvases. Surreal caches of mammoth airplanes and cargo ships also highlight the tail end of the industrial life-cycle. Well worth a browse to understand the magnitude of our throw-away culture.

The images show off the surprisingly wide range of robotic devices that exist in the world today. From scary military devices to cute robot seals that are used to sooth patients in hospitals, to the Da Vinci robotic surgery system, it’s a fascinating look at a much-hyped area of technology that’s finally looking to become a more integral part of our daily lives.
