Month: May 2013
Attempting to successfully cover a legend like David Bowie can be risky business. Looks like everyone’s favorite astronaut Chris Hadfield did! After spending the last five months aboard the ISS, the Commander will be returning to Earth today — which means no more awesome videos of zero-gravity experiments or poetically captioned photos of earth from […]
To no one’s surprise, the MTA is reportedly making tons of money with the new “green” fee that makes subway riders pay a buck for a new MetroCard. In the first month after the fee went into effect, more riders than transit officials predicted continued to buy new MetroCards — and paid the extra $1, […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, A. Bill Miller talks about his ASCII-based Holoscreen projection piece from his recent “Gridworks” show at TRANSFER Gallery. Currently my sketchbook is really just a series of folder/directories on multiple computers and hard drives. I haven’t had […]
At an event in London this year, a man named Max Post will debut a hamburger grown from beef stem cells that cost a staggering $325,000 to produce.

When asked to produce some visual accompaniment for Jon Hopkins‘ new album Immunity, biochemist-turned-photographer Linden Gledhill teamed up with art director Craig Ward to create an epic masterpiece of microscopic proportions. The vibrant, abstract visuals created by time-lapsing the biochemical processes of food coloring crystallization — with the help of some video editing — turns […]
SummerStage is coming! SummerStage is great! But the concert series’ official website is confusing, unwieldy, and not as informative as it could be. What’s an enterprising live music fan in New York City to do? Enter SummerStageLove, a web app from ace programmer and photographer Dan Nguyen that’s designed to make navigating the SummerStage a little […]
The NYPD has made some outrageous claims throughout the federal stop-and-frisk trial, but perhaps none more ridiculous than this: that any claims of racial profiling involving the practice are completely fabricated. Never mind the audio evidence, never mind the stats, never mind the personal testimony–it’s all fiction, according to department leadership. Department chief Joseph J. […]

A whole lotta New Yorkers took photos of the sky at 7:30pm on May 1st as some sort of a creative groupthink experiment and some of them are really nice. (Photo: #sameskyny) […]
