A clever, mischievous street artist has shrink-wrapped at least two polizeiautos in Cologne, Germany. A few German bloggers seem to think it’s the work of Spanish public space interventionist SpY, which seems credible as he’s pulled this kind of thing in NYC before. We’ve reached out to the artist to confirm. UPDATE: We heard back from SpY, who confirmed that […]
Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue Is the Warmest Color (La vie d’Adele) is a 15-year-old Adèle and her relationship with art school student Emma. Twitch Film is calling it “one of the most shockingly explicit features to cross the pond in quite some time” and “one of the best films of the year.” It’s also three hours long, in French and based on a […]
Every part of Digital Grotesque — “the first human-scale immersive space entirely constructed out of 3D printed sandstone” — was designed with customized algorithms. Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger sculptural installation is a flat cube on the outside and an intricate subversion of classical sculpture on the inside, twisting and melting, sprouting and mirroring with “a complex geometry” of “260 million specified micro-details.” There are some […]

Earlier today, we received an alert from NotifyNYC, that said there will be “20-30 aircrafts flying single file out of Sky Manor Airport at 1,100 feet down the Hudson River this afternoon at 3:30 PM.” So, we grabbed our video equipment and scrambled up to the roof of our Hell’s Kitchen office to witness this […]

We see a lot of crazy videos from Russia. Many from the roads. This thing rolling down the Samara-Orenburg highway is something special though. WTF IS IT?! Is it a transformer? Spawn of the giant steampunk spider from Wild Wild West? A souped-up new import from Future Japan? Commenters are confused too. Some seriously hacked farming equipment for […]
Brooklyn artist Evan Desmond Yee didn’t know that the vintage reels he bought at a California flea market contained porn starring ’70s XXX starlet Annie Sprinkle. Yee preserved these artifacts from “the Turn of the Age of Pornography” as altered sculptural objects in light boxes. “I wanted to create something that looks like an advertising-fetish object and still retains its historical […]
