While many of us spend our daily subway rides in a zombie-like haze, desperately using our smart devices to zone out the annoyances of fellow commuters, NYC-based Chris Russell makes art. He’s spent the past three years filling 8 accordion-style sketchbooks with illustrations of the subway’s swarm of faces to create his series “Foolish Behavior in the House […]
The Crimea Sich is a military-patriotic training camp for young Cossacks set in the canyon of medieval fortress town of Eski-Kerman. Cossack children as young as seven are sent to there for a minimal cost. Daily activities include target shooting and the hand-to-hand fighting of Kadochnikova, as well as an equally intensive Russian Orthodox “spiritual […]
For his project Touching Strangers, photographer Richard Renadli says he wanted “to create spontaneous and fleeting relationships between complete strangers.” To do so, he approached people who had never before met, and had them pose together as intimately as if they’d known each other for years. The results vary from painfully stiff and awkward to […]
The work of UK-based Carl Warner brings us back to the pre-Photoshop days, where all it took was a camera, everyday objects, and some imagination to produce a truly otherworldly photograph. It’s no surprise that Warner cites Dali as one of his influences: his series “Bodyscapes” seems to borrow the idea of flesh as medium […]
Where some may have seen an unimpressive little house on a barren hill, Italian photographer Manuel Costentino saw the perfect canvas for Mother Nature’s dramatic expressions. To create Behind a Little House, Costentino went to the same location for two years straight to capture the ever-changing scenery behind the tiny home from a consistent angle. A simple […]
Seeing empty Citi Bike docks is a beautiful thing. It means the program is a success and people are cruising around our great metropolis without polluting. Here’s some photos I shot over a period of week, because finding a dock without any bikes wasn’t as easy as the Daily News reported. If it wasn’t for […]
There’s a curious new public art installation on 9th Avenue and 36th Street. “Monkey Magic” is a svelte, sci-fi and anime-inspired abstract metal sculpture from Chinese artist Tang-Wei Hsu as part of the DOT’s Urban Art Program and the International Studio & Curatorial Program. Loosely based on the fable of the three monkeys, the piece replaces the proverbial see/hear/speak no […]
Who wants to play a nice game and virtually simulate a nuclear destruction? NukeMap 3D is a nuclear explosion modeling program created by atomic weapon historian Alex Wellerstein. Using data from Google Earth, the program lets you visualize the effects of an atomic blast in your city (in 3D, if you have the Google Earth […]
A new project from McGill University’s Input Devices and Music Interaction Lab allows users to create sounds simply by moving and touching their own bodies. These “prosthetic digital instruments” act as extensions of the human body, and were created by a 3D printer. “The goal of the project was to develop instruments that are visually striking, utilize […]
Photographer Allen Skyy Enriquez came up with a brilliant technique for merging several different perspectives of his native NYC into one stunning photograph — and it doesn’t involve multiple exposure or fancy editing software. His secret is a 6-inch glass prism, which Enriquez aka The Zartorialist holds in front of his camera lens to bend the light coming into the […]
