This is so ethereal and gorgeous. Shot with a Red Epic by London filmmaker and fashion photographer Jacob Sutton. The footage reminds me of Joe Kittinger’s incredible fall. Link via Kottke. Fashion photographer and filmmaker Jacob Sutton swaps the studio for the slopes of Tignes in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-eastern France, with a luminous [...]

Really nice use of alchemy. This is a parlor trick that’s been getting passed around the web. I will be trying it out tonight. They did a great job filming this.

Some photos of Bombay Beach and the Salton Sea I took on our way back from Salvation Mountain. Nothing lives here except 295 people and a bunch of dead fish and birds. It was once supposed to be an upcoming resort town, but the salt killed everything. This is a fabulous place to wander the [...]

On our Christmas vacation we were very stoked to make it down to Niland, California to visit this colorful mountain installation called “Salvation Mountain” I previously blogged about back in August. It was about an hour and a half drive from Palm Springs, and a little difficult to find (we asked the locals), but it [...]

A really sexy psychedelic David Lynch track performed and composed by him and John Neff song from his fabulous movie “Mullholland Drive.” Check out his Ghost of Love track for other goodness.

Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver” remixed in 2:41 minutes by Michel Gondry. Surreal. Watch out for those colored pencil bullets.

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 [...]

So cool and beautiful, I love the aurora borealis segments. More info on Vimeo. Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km. All credit goes [...]

Have always loved H.R. Giger’s work, but this bar looks fantastic in his museum located in Gruyères, Switzerland. Take me there, give me a drink and put on some Ali Renault, and I’ll be happy.

This weekend, I watched this documentary on Netflix about Burzum, black metal, the church burnings and murders in Norway. I thought the movie rambled and had a certain indirectness to the story telling. It’s worth checking out if you like this black metal stuff, and I think it would appeal to folks who already knew [...]

Ossian Brown, member from the awesome electronic group Coil, compiled this book of strange and creepy Halloween costumes from his personal collection of found photos. The intro is written by David Lynch. Get it on Amazon. Some of the costumes look like they recycled some old KKK garb they had lying around the house, lol…

Brilliant print campaign for Paris radio station Oui FM by photographer Matthieu Raffard. via Laughing Squid. Would love to try this with San Francisco album covers, but can only imagine this would be difficult to pull off correctly.

This stuff is so cool. Today, Neatorama posted a new work called “Fantasic Voyage”, with a ship and sea serpent shoe lace. Check out their web site for more photos of these sublime micro works of art. I love how the works seems like tilt shift photography, but are really just small sculptures.

Surreal trompe l’oeil street art by French artists Paper Donut. Lots of other very nice stuff like some low-fi papercraft, that is worth checking out on their site. Apparently the work creates illusions of perspective and shape, depending on the viewing angle. via Jeannie Jeannie.

Researchers are investigating the possibilities that cloned cats with a “glow in the dark” gene taken from a jellyfish may provide a cure for AIDS. Apparently the claws and face can glow green or even red under UV light and allows resistance to the feline immunodeficiency virus. Pretty intense. Via Washington Post. Researchers are studying [...]

I love this photo entitled “Atomicus” by Phillipe Halsman. In 1941, American photographer Philippe Halsman met the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in New York City and they began to collaborate in the late 1940s. The 1948 work Dali Atomicus explores the idea of suspension, depicting three cats flying, water thrown from a bucket, an easel, [...]

Dude goes up in space with a balloon and parachutes back into the atmosphere. So nuts.
