Photographed by Raphael Gonzalez, Street Artist Greg Suits aka Suitswon transformed an abandoned, decayed New York building into a giant skull. Love it!
What if New York City was underwater? Is this scenario possible? Created by Claire and Max from Menilmonde, two°C explores the ‘what if’ in this beautiful and thought-provoking video simulation.
Loving these anti-greeting cards from the Hate Mail shop, which will allow you to send out some beautiful insults to your favourite enemies – they’ll even customise by personally handwriting your message and sending to your recipient anonymously. Standard insults such as ‘Eat A Dick!’ are available or you can create a fresh one 🙂
Subject of a recent installment of Great Big Story, artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams live on an awesome floating island they built themselves off the coast of Vancouver Island called Freedom Cove. Among the island’s amenities are a dance floor, a lighthouse, and four greenhouses. This is too cool for words! – Happy Friday, everyone 🙂
Designed by the artist duo New Scenario for the Berlin Biennal, Body Holes is an interesting project that aims to use the human body, including the mouth, nose, ears, navel, anus, and other more discreet orifices, as a gallery space, exhibiting various artworks by artists such as Paul Barsch, Tilman Hornig, Yves Scherer, Rachel De Joode, Blunt Skensved or Viktor Fordell. Very original work indeed – enjoy 🙂
Directed by Ernest Desumbila, Kids of the Apocalypse have released their latest music video entitled ‘Better Life’ which uses animation and visual effects by Sauvage TV to depict a band of gifted children in a post-apocalyptic and dystopian future. Love it! 🙂
Just outside New York City, there’s a sprawling, 57-room mansion sitting on 6 acres and equipped with a bowling alley, indoor tennis court, two bars, a library, opulent interiors, with spiral staircases and chandeliers. It is also entirely abandoned. Built in the late 1930s and last inhabited in the 1970s, the neglect is allegedly down to an owner who would buy lavish mansions and leave them to rot. While the building itself is in need of repairs, the collections within it remain untouched and have been beautifully captured by photographer Bryan Sansivero – there are dolls, old photographs, plastic flowers, paintings and two pianos, stark reminders of a privileged life from the past. Fascinating stuff! 🙂
Directed by Najeeb Tarazi, who worked on films for Pixar such as Toy Story 3 and Monsters Inc., this awesome pixel art music video created for the superb track ‘White Flag’ by British electro duo Delta Heavy from their Paradise Lost EP is heavily inspired by a retro 16-bit aesthetic and the world of the early 90s gaming. Love it! 🙂
We love the creations of artist Nancy Fouts who enjoys hijacking everyday objects in an offbeat manner, yet always with a very subversive message that is provocative, playful, and witty. Gold! 🙂
