100 meters of existence


Photographer Simon Hogsberg created an image with 100 meters in length (100m x 78cm), in which there are 178 people, all shot photographed in the course of 20 days from the same spot on a bridge in Berlin.

This beautiful image is named "We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence".

It is very interesting ... Click the image above to proceed.

A house swallowed by a black hole?


Looks like a house being swallowed by a black hole, right? But it is an artistic intervention called 'Inversion' (because it gives the idea that the house is turning inside out).

See more pictures after the jump.

Antique Soviet Christmas Cards


A gallery with lots of antique Soviet Christmas cards, all space-themed.

The most interesting part, in my opinion, is that these cards are soaked in ideological propaganda...

Passing time


A message which is posted every 12 hours thanks to more than 500 clocks. It is about the project of Nadine Grenier, coed in Esad: an elegant work around the time which passes, at the time of Biennial international Design in Saint-Etienne.


The message is "Le temps passe, e chaque fois qu'il y a du temps qui passe, il y a quelque chose qui s'efface" - or something like "The time passes, and each time the time passes, there's something that vanishes."

Nice idea to talk about the passage of time using clocks...

The first sound cartoon to be produced in color

August 16th, 1930. The first sound cartoon to be produced in color (using two-color Technicolor processing), "Fiddlesticks" was also the first production by Ub Iwerks through his newly formed Iwerks Studios for Pat Powers' Celebrity Productions, as well as the first Flip the Frog cartoon.



Though a classic, "Fiddlesticks" would seem to be mostly a demonstration of Iwerks' artistic ingenuity and a publicity tool for his new independence from Disney, as all subsequent Flip the Frog cartoons demonstrated an updated artistic style (including the Flip character himself), contained more linear plots, and were all featured in black and white.

Tatoo generator


Do you want to make a video clip in which your name (or any word you like) appears as a tatoo?

At Crusty Demons Tatoo Parlour you can choose the drawings and also the place (of the model's body) in which your tatoo is going to be printed (there are 4 options). Then you watch the video clip of your tatoo being showed - and you can save the image as a wallpaper or send the video to your friends.

This image above is a snapshot from one of the videos that I made to zootropole - other 3 are after the jump (as well as the link to the generator).

Puppetry for grown-ups


Concepção (Conception, in English) is a scene from the show "Em concerto" (In Concert) by Grupo Contadores de Estórias. It's about a birth scene played by a puppet - which is controlled by Rachel and Marcos Caetano Ribas, a couple of artists from the city of Paraty.

It's an interesting scene (short clip below). After the jump you will find also an extended version, and another scene from the same show featuring two elders flirting.

The image quality is poor, but it worth a view. It's interesting to see that puppetry is also for us, adults.
