Zipper Boat by Yasuhiro Suzuki
31 OctAs the zipper boat pulls away it provokes a wave that creates a similar effect as if someone were to unzip a jacket.
Isn’t it funny? This project had been realised by the artist Yasuhiro Suzuki in 2004. Now, in 2010, it is making its way through the Internet.

Jan Vormann sees himself a dispatcher. He writes on Dispatchers Worldwide:
“Since I get many nice letters from people who want to join and actively participate in far-away-places where, at the moment, I can only dream of going, I decided to set up this extra section.
If you do some nice repairs in your city, hometown, or on your house, please send me some pictures to Dispatchworld @ gmail . com and I will be glad to post them here, along with your name and your location! Spread the word!”

Zuckerwattenhunddesigner
29 OctAuf einem Stäbchen steckte, leicht oval,
ein weißer Hund samt Zuckerschal.
Die Gegend, die, in der er thronte,
war auch die, in der er wohnte.
So viel zum Ort, zur Zeit – und nun zur Handlung:
ein Shampoo sorgte für die Wandlung:
Zunächst, da waren’s der Beine vier,
doch im Gebrauch? – Nicht hier!
Ergo: ohne Beine, Leine, Frauchen,
kein Spaziergang fürs Verdauchen;
auch kein Knochen fürs Kaukauchen,
Status Quo – gefühlt: Maumauchen.
Und doch! Es roch an diesem Ort
nach kulinarischem Akkord!
“Mord? Oder meinst Du etwa Krieg?”
“Akkord! Akkord, ich spreche von Musik!”
Mozart kam und sah und mampfte,
Mahlers Charme: sein Arm er stampfte
pudelsicher Dackel klein, stopfte auch ein
Cocker-Bein einfach in sich rein.
“Gemein!” So rief der Delius:
“Zwei Zuckerhunde – Zungenkuß!”
Hingegen füllte Haydn
seinen Magen mit den beiden.
Nur: “In Bruckners satten Schlund paßt keiner”
sprach der Zuckerwattenhunddesigner.
Für den kleinen Hunger zwischendurch…
27 OctKann sich noch jemand an das legendäre Softfutter HAP erinnern? In jeweils vier kleinen Plastikbeutelchen befanden sich kleine rote Pseuydofleischwürmchen – dem Grunde nach Rinder- oder Schweinehackfleisch gar nicht unähnlich –, die dem Vierbeiner zusammen mit einer großen Schale Wasser kredenzt wurden. Die vier Plastikbeutelchen steckten wiederum in einem Pappkarton mit Eingriff.
Hier, in diesem Kontext, würde ich das Futtermittel allerdings eher auf den Namen Softfutter HEPP! taufen.

Knitting in Biology 101
27 Oct**These frogs are currently being made to order. Your frog will ship within one week of receiving payment. Also, the frog may differ ever so slightly from the photo. Thanks!**
3 out of 4 biologists agree: Knitting in Biology 101 is the cutest biology project, ever! If you think so too, then this, my friend, is the pattern for you.
Wow your scientist friends and colleagues with the coolness of this piece of knitted art. The frog is hand knit from a silk/wool blend, and his little innards are needle-felted by hand out of 100% wool. He comes pinned into his wooden 8 x 10 inch frame, but he is not glued down, so you can take him out and cuddle him if you wish. The backing material for this frog is matte black.
Designed and hand knitted by me ~ The Crafty Hedgehog

Bertha Mag
27 Oct“Bertha Mag was born out of wanting to show my grandmother Bertha a bit of what is nowadays being done in the world of photography.
The magazine gathers different rising artists from all over the world to present their work and make it known to those interested in photography.
Made in Argentina.
Magali Polverino
Editor-in-chief”
In other words: Bertha Mag is a great magazine because it doesn’t talk. It only shows photographs. And these are excellent!

Meet the Snowface Tiger
27 OctPhotographer Jonathan Griffiths risked his life as he took these breathtaking shots, just inches from tigers, bears and cougars, capturing the moment a lion came so close it was pawing at his lens.
The only thing I gonna ask myself: How did he manage it to survive?

Reconstructed Cake Faces by Ashkan Honarvar
26 OctThe series called ‘Faces’ is Honarvar’s search for an identity and the physical and psychological wounds brought onto people by war. He used already existing pictures of young soldiers who suffered from mutilations to their faces during first world war. The way the soldier looks into the camera, dominant yet sensible and vulnerable, is highly confronting. With fierce strokes or graceful lines and shapes Honarvar draws onto the tortured face of the soldier. He focuses on their mutilations by highlighting with stripes and strokes what doesn’t compute with the later restored face. It seems he is trying to reconstruct the suffering the soldier had to endure. Ashkan Honarvar

Architect Kotaro Ide’s Shell Residence
26 OctThis astounding building is the Shell residence by Japanese Architect, Kotaro Ide of ARTechnic. The project concluded its works in 2008; the sculptural shell-like structure was built in the forest of Karuizawa, located in the Nagano, Japan. Its organic shape seems subtle within the forest, and the reinforced cement structure becomes one and harmonizes itself with the landscape. A clear distinction of the spaces [structure vs. nature] upgrades the quality of the residence as a shelter; the house will be sheltered from nature and utilize what nature can offer.

Shawn Smith’s Impressive Pixel Scupltures
25 OctShawn Smith is responsible for these amazing pixelated animal sculptures made from square rods cut from plywood which are colored with ink. Smith blends the digital pixel based 2D world into our 3D environment.
He says “I find images of my subjects online and then create three dimensional sculptural representations of these two-dimensional images. I build my ’Re-things’ pixel by pixel to find out how each pixel plays a crucial role in the identity of an object. Through the process of pixilation, color is distilled, some bits of information are lost, and the form is abstracted. Making the intangible tangible, I view my building process as an experiment in alchemy, using man-made composite and recycled materials to represent natural forms.”

24 OctManchmal bedarf es nicht vieler Worte und manchmal hat man dann eine gute Werbeanzeige vor Augen. Und wenn das Gänseklein vom Gänsebein dann auch noch so gut schmeckt wie optisch bereits vorangekündigt, dann ist doch mal wieder alles gut, oder etwa nicht?
Zwei weitere Geschmacksrichtungen:
