Hennesy Youngman Crits Performance Art and Hosts a Group Art Show

Hennesy Youngman has been a busy man. In between getting written up by Gawker and the New York Times, he’s uploaded two new videos. The first a critique on performance art, the second an open call to contribute to his group show in Chelsea, New York called “It’s a Small, Small World.” I think I [...]

Plastic Bag Tree Installation by Miha Artnak

Saw this today on Unurth. It’s by a Slovenian artist named Miha Artnak. Really loved the simplicity, color and beauty of this idea.

Slab City Americana – Niland, California

We recently visited Salvation Mountain, but failed to realize there is an “off the grid” desert civilization just beyond. VBS.TV travels to “The Slab” and interviews some of the eccentric, and fascinating characters in America’s last “free” city. So bummed we missed out on this, but it looks a bit locals only. Photo I took [...]

Paper Computing and MIT’s High-Low Tech Group

Randomly saw this video on Liveleak of MIT’s High-Low tech group’s project on a “kit for sketching electronics”, in which a designer is able to stick some crazy looking electronic components to a piece of paper and then draw with a pen to create a circuit. It’s really interesting at the end where an interface [...]

HOUSE INDUSTRIES FOR MAISON HERMÈS

Alphabetic Equestrian Maison Hermès 5-4-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku Tokyo, Japan 104-0061 On display until January 17, 2012 Sired from custom cut solid Wisconsin cedar and equitationally interlocking House Industries letterforms, our hand-drawn Hermès horse gracefully canters through a harlequin carousel of letter-borne livery with exceptional alphabetic dressage. Stoutly-sculptured cedar characters draped with signature Hermès stablemates carry [...]

Klip Collective – Transforming Physical Spaces with Light and Animation

Recently posted about the Chameleon living room, and got word from my friend Imri that his friends at Klip Collective are actually the inventors of video mapping with projectors. So innovative how this crew can transform physical spaces with animation and light. Gorgeous. As the inventors of video mapping, Klip leads the field of projection [...]

Places to Visit #6: Miniatur Wunderland – Hamburg, Germany

Wowzee. World’s largest model railway in Hamburg, Germany and the city’s top tourist attraction. It has a working airport (which cost 3.5 million euro), over 200,000 figurines, and a working police and fire fighting force. This puts the Flemington, NJ Northlands Railway to complete shame. I love how it has working ships and computer controlled [...]

Parisian Flea Circus from 1949

So crazy. Weird! Real Life Flea Circus! Filmed in Paris in 1949, this genuine flea circus sees some very big fleas pulling various miniature vehicles across a table. They are harnessed by a thin wire. Rather disgusting! However, until about 1930, performing fleas were in fact a main carnival attraction.

Kidult Anti-Advertising Agency Tee Shirt

Seems Kidult is on a new tee-shirt launch, no details, but all concept and ironic angst judging by the title. Can’t wait until Highsnobiety picks it up. Love this guy. Keep up the good work, keep it left. Tee shirts graphics suck, but do what you gotta do and keep it accessible until the next [...]

KIDULT ” ILLEGAL WORLD “

More from the illusive Paris(?) mass-media prophet, phantom Kidult. Highlghts of this film: Rebenga dying in Guantanamo, and Kidult’s recent expo of “LOVE” on oppressive retail. Negative energy never saw better. Hope this guy never sells art like Banksy and just likes it what for what he’s doing… Loving the shit show and horror music.

Banksy Heckles Prince Charles

Via Gawker w/comparison photos of his identity – but who knows what’s real, right? Is he moving into live performance art? Apparently he posted this video and some new stencils to his site.

La Bolleur Mini Golf Club

This looks fun! I like mini golf. Via We love you so. It has been 5 years since Timon van der Hijden, Zowie Jannink and Steie van Vugt decided to change the scene at La Bolleur – a former brothel in the city of Eindhoven. They literally transformed this inglorious lounge and made it their [...]
