Joshua Allen Harris has created some fantastic New York street art in the form animals made out of shopping bags positioned on subway street grates that cause them to periodically inflate and animate.

turning the place over

March 30th, 2008 catnip

Today I saw this amazing art/engineering installation in Liverpool. Basically, they’ve cut a huge circle in the side of a disused building, through concrete and glass alike and hooked it up to a huge kind of pivot thingy that rotates the circular section. It’s pretty stunning and creates loads of optical illusions as it goes round. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area.

new bomb the bass vid is supercute!

March 21st, 2008 catnip

Via 30gms:

Dieter Wiechmann of Perish Factory have directed this awesome, and, dare I say it, cute music video for Bomb The Bass, called Butterfingers. For the unfamiliar, it’s an analogue synth/sequencer/groovebox, of no particular type, made in what looks like felt. Each button and control has a unique character and role in the video that sustains viewing all the way to the witty end. In Dieter’s own words there was “no real trickery to the making of it, just lots of hands, a lot of puppets, a lot of takes and a crap load of duct tape in the back holding things together”.
