David Maisel Sees All

.. from the window of his plan/helicopter/rocket or a really really tall and portable building. Anyway. These aerial photographs by David Maisel are supercool. They’re so beautiful one would almost not recognise them as aerials if you didn’t know better. But not only do they look pretty, they are also themed around human intervention with nature and the funny habit we have of destroying things we love. Like nature and fresh air. Check out the post on 2fotos.blogspot.com where I originally found these photos, or the guy’s website, for dozens upon dozens more, or hit the jump for three of my other favourites :) (more…)

Crystals And Lasers

This is Matt W. Moore painting one of the most funkalicious murals, who knew triangles could ever be so exciting :D This particular piece is across the street from Since Gallery in Paris, France. Matt casually mentions it on his blog, from what I understand this was on the wall of an school on a public street. It’s part of a bigger whole, namely Matt’s very own solo exhibition at Since.

“has traveled to Paris for one month to prepare, from scratch, for his first Paris Solo-Exhibition. He arrived with no art, no supplies, and no firm plan for this new series of canvas paintings. The ideas for the artworks have actualized while processing time spent absorbing French Cult”

Nosaj Thing

I got my hands on Nosaj Thing’s album today, heard great things about this LA producer. And it was all right, I’ve had the 36 minute long debut album “Drift” on repeat all day. Definately recommendable! Nothing but love for this guy, so go ahead and befriend Jason Chung on MySpace. You’re listening to the opening song, “Fog” which is my personal favourite I think. Dunno, I just love the arpeggio and the whole gloomy lot of it. There’s much more ear goodness on the album, and for those who just can’t get enough, I’ve included the movie clip to Nosaj Thing’s “Aquarium” after the jump. Nice storytelling! (more…)

the Pump serving Crap

This is a commercial/promotional video for New York based eatery “The Pump“. They serve “Energy Food”. The video is hella funny, and it isnt all fiction because “The Pump” actually exists. Not sure what to expect if I ever get the chance to order there. Maybe some eye-candy :)
