“It’s a carnivalesque universe of painting, installations, interactive games — including a giant, interactive sewing machine — all from the artist’s famously outlandish imagination…Mr. Kitano mixes art, science, cinema, vertiginous mobiles…” Extract from NYTimes preview

Fondation Cartier

Illustrator Kate Bingaman has spent 3 years of her life drawing everything she’s bought. A really interesting insight into the everyday objects many of us take for granted.

From the same band who made the dancing on treadmills promo. They’ve created a massive Rube Goldberg perpetual motion machine in a warehouse in LA.

This little video appeared on the blogs a couple of days ago, remember we posted up the Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc. video a wile ago. Well it’s only turned itself into a live stage show, with the help of some clever holograms. Not many details yet as to when we can see this but it looks like it would be a hell of a show. Only one beatboxer mapped as yet, Beardyman. But more are to come for sure, and rest assured I will be first in line for tickets for this show.

Awesome lunch art from Japan, the attention to detail is crazy! Could I be bothered to do this for my, or anyone else’s, lunch no. Would I be really chuffed if I opened up my lunchbox to something like that, hell yes. Although I don’t really rate the Tiger Woods rendition for a child’s lunchbox see them all here

Katie Paterson describes her the project as:
“Sound recordings from three glaciers in Iceland, pressed into three records, cast, and frozen with the meltwater from each of these glaciers, and played on three turntables until they completely melt.

The records were played once and now exist as three dvds. The turntables begin playing together, and for the first ten minutes as the needles trace their way around, the sounds from each glacier merge in and out with the sounds the ice itself creates. The needle catches on the last loop, and the records play for nearly two hours, until completely melted.”

I think it’s pretty cool, really nice work.
