Teardrop-Sculpture-3As nations, the USA and Russia have often found themselves on different sides of various socio-political philosophies. And at times, an uneasy peace seems to exist between the two greatest nuclear powers the world has ever known. But despite all obstacles, the people of Russia reached out to Americans with a gesture of hope and kindness when President Putin dedicated an extraordinary monument as a gift in honor of those who perished in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

“To The Struggle Against World Terrorism” is a 100 foot high, bronze sculpture conceived of by Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli. Zurab is the President of the Russian Academy of Arts and Director of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (among other things).

I suppose that only a man in a position such as this wields the necessary power to convince a government and it’s people to get behind a gift of this magnitude. Its certainly akin to the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France.

The Most Interesting Origami Discussion Ever

0

Origami-RoseRobert Lang is a pioneer of the newest kind of origami, using math and engineering principles to fold mind-blowingly intricate designs that are beautiful and, sometimes, very useful.

Some of the origami patterns have been used even to go into space telescopes which need to be large at the destination, but small for transportation. It has also been used in heart stints and even automobile airbags.

Khoda – The Amazing Painted Film

0

khodaThanks to Ben Huh for this little tip. (Follow him on Twitter)

The best way to describe this film is directly from the author’s mouth:

My graduation film Khoda.

What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

Plasma Cutting the GeekBrief Logo

0

plasma-cutting-the-geekbrief-logoOk. This post is going to get me in big trouble with Greg Lewis. I still owe him a piece of art from like 2 years ago. Yet Cali Lewis (no relation to Greg) asks me if I could cut the GeekBrief logo out on the PlasmaCAM for her and I do it in like 48 hours. Well Greg, I only have one thing to say… when you’re as hot as Cali, I’ll finish your art in 48 hours too!

All kidding aside though, Cali and Neal have been waiting patiently for months since they first saw my machine sitting in the garage, and I finally got off my lazy butt and decided to cut the GeekBrief.TV logo out in celebration of their 500th show! So, if any of you would like to watch a little video about cutting things out of steel with a giant robot, here you go.

The 1,000 Gallon Jeep Waterfall Art Machine

0

Jeep Waterfall ArtNow this is a fantastic piece of marketing. And it works, just look at this blog post! Jeep is getting some free advertising…

The technology behind this waterfall is very similar to how an ink jet printer works. Essentially, thousands of nozzles are configured individually to allow pictures to be drawn with falling water. The results are simply awesome.

puppets-business-cardI’ve long been a fan of the business card. I think it is a serious art form because you try and say so much about a person or organization with so little room to work with. It takes a creative genius to really make a fantastic impression with a business card, and after all… that’s what they’re all about!

Since I’ve been collecting these in a directory for years, i decided to upload the entire gallery right here. If I ever come across more, I’ll add them. But until then, have fun wasting your entire afternoon on these!

Now, I’ve never uploaded this many images to a single post (in fact, this may be a world record!!!), and I’m sure this article is going to put some serious load on the server because so many images have to be downloaded by each visitor. Hopefully no one Diggs this thing, cause the server is going to die for sure!

Seriously! 250+ thumbnails on every single page load… well, let’s just say I’m glad I work at a hosting company! Cause I may be needing a whole lotta bandwidth real soon… Thank you Layered Tech!

Amazing Elephant Artists – Yeah You Read That Right!

0

Painting ElephantOk. This was e-mailed to me, and when I first saw the title I almost didn’t watch it. I thought it was going to be some sort of gimmicky video featuring exploited elephants or something.

But I went ahead and watched it. Wow! I’m simply stunned! I’m not going to spoil it for you guys, but you aren’t going to believe what you see…

4 Incredible Human Video Game Performances

0

Human TetrisSome of you may have seen one of these videos before, as they’ve been watched a total of like 10 million times, but most people have not see all four of them. The choreography and coordination to create these videos are both incredibly creative and extremely well executed. A little about the project:

GAME OVER is one of the art projects developed by the Swiss artist Guillaume REYMOND (NOTsoNOISY creative agency). It consists of a series of collaborative animation movies which revive some of the very first video games. The pixels are replaced by a group of real human-beings that are moving from seat to seat in a theatre during about 4 to 6 hours. Each “pixel” has its own rules and decides what s/he wants to do for each picture. Once all these pictures are turned into a short animation movie, a giant human-scale video game unfolds “live”.

Juan Francisco Casas Amazing Bic Pen Art

0

Nude Woman KissingWhen I first encountered Juan Francisco Casas’ art I was stunned. Sure, there are a lot of artists out there that can draw lifelike figures. But how many of them work with nothing but a blue Bic pen? And draw photographs up to 10 feet tall? As far as I know – exactly one.

Here is what the Daily Mail had to say:

They may look like pin-sharp photographs – but these amazing pictures are actually drawings created with the humble ballpoint pen.

The stunning pictures, measuring up to 10ft high, were drawn by a rising star of the art world, Juan Francisco Casas.

Casas, 31, can use up to four 14p ballpoint pens for a canvas and his works are already a sell-out at exhibitions.

Formerly a traditional painter, Juan began the drawings three years ago based on photographs of nights out with his friends.
