Here’s another “Shit _ Say” video, sorry, but it’s art-relevant, so, here goes… Creative Time interns made a cute little viddy of self-love-hate entitled “Shit Art World People Say,” which apparently involves orgasming over post-post-modernism, burning Shepard Fairey and snickering about who “doesn’t have an MFA.” Read more »
An epic battle between two rats fighting over a bagel was caught on video at the 14 Street A-train station, but as you’ll see, a super heavyweight contender spoiled the final round. (Video: dannyrockett/YouTube)
In 2001, photographer Peter Sutherland began taking photographs of graffiti writers with their faces obscured for a collection of images that would later be compiled into a book entitled Autograf. Over a decade later, he’s sort of bringing the concept back and since CINIK was the first person he shot back then, he will also be the first to appear in the new series, which will be released one portait at a time in each issue of SNEEZE magazine.
After the Siberian authorities repeatedly rejected Barnual citizens’ requests to hold legal demonstrations over Russia’s fraudulent parliamentary election, locals did this “protest.” The teddy bears, toys and figurines picketed with “I’m for honest elections!” and “A thief should sit in jail, not in the Kremlin” signs, aw. The police did not like it. They’re seriously investigating. Read more »
These are all animated gifs, gents, so click and see ‘em giggle into the 3rd dimension! Cool trinket. Poor bears. The new Stereogranimator at the New York Public Library site lets you peruse an archive of nearly 40,000 historical stereographs, variously upsetting in nature, and merge the “doubleeyed” “twin pictures” into animated gifs using a step by step instructional, sure to amuse you and usurp your productivity for the morn. Oops. Or you can make 3D anaglyphs. Slap on some 3D glasses. Enjoy the view. Laugh at 1800′s Jersey girls’ bathing suits. Ha! Ha. Ah-ha.

Here’s a magnificent, rejected Bloomberg Businessweek cover featuring Mitt “190-250 million-dollar-man” Romney looking beat, as in, pounded in the face until his nose is as askew as his sense of reality. Get closer to admire the craftsmanship of this Photoshoppery. It isn’t your pedestrian simulated diabetes chop job or the New York Magazine’s ultimately silly attempt at the same pun. Oh no. Clearly, the man deserves special treatment, with detailed, dripping lacerations, bruised brows, and a blood smeared “meh” frown rendered under the direction of Richard Turley. What happened? Did he get in some fistycuffs with Obama the Incredible Hulk? (Click to enlarge)
Long before New York City was a conflict-free oasis where the streets smell like roses and Times Square was safe for families, it was quite the soiled place, but in a good way. It gave the city some character as evidenced by photographer Steven Siegel’s ever growing collection of 1980s era snapshots that are burning up the internets. Here are a few of the latest photos he uploaded and there’s plenty more where those came from. (Photos: Steven Siegel/flickr)
After two years of teasing, promises of meteorblitzkrieg and a bloody fight with German cops, the makers of Iron Sky have completed their ridiculous movie about ridiculous “mother fucking space Nazis.” Here’s the trailer. It’s ridiculous. Read more »
Remember how Russia’s parliamentary election had so much obnoxious, YouTube-documented fraud, that thousands of angry Russians protested in the street? Don’t worry. The Kremlin has it on lock down, soon equipping 94,000 polling stations with no less than 300,000 web surveillance cameras. Pffffffft. Read more »
