Big Bang Big Boom

The latest large-scale-abstract-animated-graffiti-story-telling masterpiece from Blu. He describes it as, “an unscientific point of view on the beginning and evolution of life…and how it could probably end.”

Start from the Beginning

Berlin-based sculptor/animator A.N. Fischer created this video to examine ‘the relationship between [a] simulated image and its physical manifestation’.  The result is lots of geometric, trippy, techy, haunting visuals that are constantly evolving.  Good stuff.

Here’s some images of the sculpture in question.  Music by Egyptrixx.

Kush

“Still I am,
Tighter than the pants on Will.I.Am
Back-throw, back still, I have a pound in my backpack
Next to where the swishas at;
Smokin’ presidential
Got some bubba, I give me that:
Need it for my cataracts.” -Snoop Dogg

From Dre’s upcoming album Detox, set to be released in 2011. Can’t wait.

Refraction

Jesse Zanzinger had the fantastic idea to shoot a whole bunch of stuff through oil and water.  I think you’ll enjoy the result.

Be sure to hang in there ‘til you see the numbers.
