Børre Sæthre – My Private Sky (Installation)

Norwegian artist Børre Sæthre has a way with the uncanny and is heavily influenced by the sets of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.



I thought of the piece above while listening to The Blues, which is a collaboration between Primary 1 and Nina Persson of the Cardigans.

Børre Sæthre – Stealth Distortion

Gil Scott-Heron – New York is Killing Me

3D-printed shoes by Stockholm students, Naim Josefi and Souzan Youssouf, using a Selective Laser Sintering process.

The concept for the shoes call for further exploration in ever-developing rapid prototyping processes. The pair envisage a world in which we could produce and recycle such objects in a closed loop.

Dawn Davenport would never have turned to a life of crime is she could have made her own Cha Cha Heels.

Eartha Kitt would have been happy about this development as well.

Noisia -- Machine Gun



Have you have ever watched old episodes of The Addams Family on TV and wondered what was in the box that the disembodied hand, better known as Thing, popped out of?  Well this video, by Dutch electronic band Noisia, might give you a clue. Warning to my vegetarian and vegan friends, this is a meat eater video and might make you wanna go out and throw blood on some animal-wearing fashionista. Also, I don’t particularly like the song, it’s a little too head bangin’ for me but if you really want a visual WTF, then turn it down and play a Mariah Carey or Miley Cyrus song with it. I bet Thing would totally be down with those two awful creatures.

Now all those brooding tweens that wish they could find the perfect vampire can at least have a bloody shower. Introducing Blood Bath Shower Gel by Spinning Hat. And it’s cherry scented! So many things I could say about that but are better left alone. Now for that R-Patz vampire guy, they even carry a Gay Bar soap for you.

Excerpt of Metropolis by Rob Carter

You can view the entire video at his website.

Metropolis is a quirky and very abridged narrative history of the city of Charlotte, North Carolina. It uses stop motion video animation to physically manipulate aerial still images of the city (both real and fictional), creating a landscape in constant motion. Starting around 1755 on a Native American trading path, the viewer is presented with the building of the first house in Charlotte. From there we see the town develop through the historic dismissal of the English, to the prosperity made by the discovery of gold and the subsequent roots of the building of the multitude of churches that the city is famous for. Now the landscape turns white with cotton, and the modern city is ‘born’, with a more detailed re-creation of the economic boom and surprising architectural transformation that has occurred in the past 20 years.

Casiokids – En Vill Hest directed by Kristoffer Borgli

Casiokids is a band from Norway and I have no idea what they are singing about but they have a great electropop sound.
