The Telectroscope (May 22 to June 15)

New Yorkers could see their English cousins across the pond Thursday without benefit of cable TV or video conferencing, courtesy of an unusual live optical hookup created by a conceptual artist with a fanciful tale of a long-lost tunnel.

recipe for great abstract photos.

1. buy a really really expensive camera.
2. set the shutter speed for a long exposure.
3. throw it in the air.
4. try not to sh*t your pants.
5. catch it.

alligator xbox

people are really into modifying their toys these days. the other day i came across a blackberry 8800 and iphone owned by Pharrell of the Neptunes/BCC/Ice Cream who encased his two phones in 24k gold. This week I came across this xbox 360 covered in alligator skin, but the crazy part is the power button which was replaced with an eyeball.

currency artwork

I came across these designs by illustrator Pedro Izique today. These were created for an ad campaign for a leading Brazilian business newspaper called Gazeta Mercantil by the São Paulo office of ad agency JWT.

The print ad redesigns the Dollar, Euro and Yen with images of “some of the most important events of the last century.” Pretty cool work.
