Every so often when the Moon is especially ginormous or we can see Venus or Mars from Earth, humans collectively freaks out. So cool three exclamation points, we scream. Look how big with thirty i's, we yell. And it's warranted! Seeing things that don't belong in the sky pop up, well, in the sky is fun. So could you imagine if one day Earth developed rings like Saturn? It would be insane.Read mo..

이 지구상에 존재하는 인간들중 어떠한 이유로든 쓰라린 아픔과 고통을 겪어 보지 않은자는 없을겝니다. 그리하여, 그에 따른 트라우마나 한(恨), 슬픔과 우울함에 빠지게 되는것은 자연스러운 일이겠지요! 요즘, 필자 또한 개인 가정사로 정신적으로 너무나도 괴롭고 고통스러운 시간속에서 홀로 슬..

If you think you're looking at color palettes of different shades of brownish gray, you're not exactly wrong. I'm sure people would love to paint their bathroom Roman Rotunda Slate or some made up name like that. But it's not that simple. You're actually looking at the seasons—spring, summer, fall and winter—and you just don't know it.Read more...

A simple DIY rig becomes a beautiful, interactive exploration of music flowing through water. Amongst all the CGI dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, the visual that’s etched most deeply into my memory is a simple glass of water. As the tyrannosaurus loomed closer, ripples in the water’s surface grew larger. We couldn’t see the monster yet, but this simple image demonstrated how outmatched the ..

Photographer Maya Fuhr was commissioned by VICE to embark on a photographic exploration. This trek was aimed to show us that female bedrooms are not all neat and tidy domiciles. With preconceived notions, humans believe the female species to be the cleanlier of the two. The photos Maya created will most certainly shock many, and garner nodding heads of approval from those who “understand” ..

Did you ever realize how silly 2D video game backgrounds are? Especially those in fighting games like in Street Fighter 2 or Samurai Showdown. Random people watching you fight with random objects like planes and dogs around them in random places of the world. Let's fight in an aquarium! Or an airport hangar! Or a gym filled with beefcakes!Read more...

[ By Steph in Art & Installation & Sound. ] We already know what kind of music trees make when left to their own devices, and now we can make them sound the way we want. After developing a method for converting digital files into 3D printable records, designer Amanda Ghassaei has laser-cut records onto pieces of wood. While vinyl may be cheaper and provide sharper sound, it’s hard to deny tha..

The nebulous territory of “good” and “bad” taste have always confused me.

Pazaurek devised a system to help us all out. Let’s call it a bad-design-o-meter.Read more...

When the San Francisco-based artist (and avid surfer) Jay Nelson wanted a car he could sleep in for his frequent trips to the coast, he didn’t need an RV—just a new way of looking at a sedan. Nelson had acquired a rusting 1986 Honda Civic, and with the addition some plywood, fiberglass, and a set of porthole windows, he built himself a barn-style bedroom over the trunk. If Buckminster Fuller..

[ By Steph in Art & Drawing & Digital. ] Have you ever wondered how 19th century artists were able to produce such incredibly realistic drawings? It isn’t just because they were unusually talented, though it’s hard to argue that they were. Many of them benefitted from the use of a ‘camera lucida’, an optical device that reflects real-life images onto a drawing surface so they can be tra..

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Sculpture & Craft. ] There is no unifying theme to these surreal depictions of urban architecture and landscapes, save perhaps their imaginative improbability and singular creator, Frank Kunert, a German photographer and his bemused sense of wonder. Each is at once clearly a model yet quite lifelike, lovingly crafted, painted and photographed. Some show impossibilitie..

Hiding in New York No. 7 — Made in China, 2012. Photo: courtesy of Eli Klein Fine Art, © Liu Bolin
Liu Bolin’s images invite a game akin to Where’s Waldo?. In some of the Chinese artist’s incredible photos, it’s clear where he is standing; in others, like the one above, it’s much harder to spot the outline of his body at all. It’s for this that Bolin has been called “The Invisib..

Located at Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) is Callinectes Douglassi, a 500-pound blue crab made from stained glass by artist Jackie Leatherbury Douglass and her husband John in 1984.
The 10 ft x 7 ft x 5 ft (3 x 2 x 1.5 meter) sculpture took over 5,500 man hours over a 14-month period to build. The stained glass blue crab weighs roughly 500 pounds.
The sculpture was commission..
