Google Earth has glitches. These glitches make great art. Trapcode founder Peder Norrby’s series of well-executed screen captures of glitched out iOs map images give us a vision of a post-nuclear-holocaust world.

The amount of street art in Shoreditch is palpable. It’s all over, creating an almost Disney-like atmosphere as tourists of all ages walk the streets with their smart phones in hand, snapping photos, even if they have no idea who exactly they’re shooting. A lot of the work continually going up in the East London […]

What do you get when you get some scientists to crystallize your own hair and then put it under a kaleidoscope? A perfect, dandruffy combination of the innovative, the beautiful, and the insanely gross.

It’s hard to say whether this development in drone-tech is awesome or terrifying. Awesome: This drone’s got mad skillz on the b-ball court. Terrifying, because IT’S OPERATED BY MIND CONTROL. Or is that also awesome? Developed by French firm Parrot (in collaboration with an engineering team from the University of Minnesota), the thought-controlled AR.Drone quad-rotor helicopter […]
