For the last installment in his drone art series, Rajeev Basu gives us SLAPADRONE, a series of whimsical bumper stickers to stick on the back of the old family UAV. The series–which includes Drones of New York and the customizable Mr. Drones projects as well) lampoons and raises awareness that commercial drone use becomes legal in the U.S. in 2015. Basu calls SLAPADRONE the “darkest” […]
We are strangely hypnotized by this Tumblr from our comrade at Mother New York, Gustavo Luz Sousa and the international Kilo Collective. He deliberately misuses his iPhone panorama app to create these glitched-out images, depicting a chaotic-parallel-universe New York City where random objects are sucked into nonexistence, while others repeat themselves kaleidoscopically. Check it. […]
Times Haiku, an algorithm designed by the New York Times’s senior software architect, scans the day’s paper for any fragments of text that could be broken into a three-line, seventeen-syllable poem, then posts it to Tumblr. Brilliant! Some highlights: To many, the Mets appear destined for a fifth straight losing season. His wife was his world […]

The program digitally scans the user’s face, allowing them to edit their own detailed, perfectly-fitting design, which is then 3D-printed […]

The latest offering from skate/art gallery boom-art puts Renaissance painter Heironymous Bosch’s notoriously trippy and nudity-filled Garden of Earthly Delights rendered across three skate decks. Though the original is also a triptych, the skate version appears to only feature its middle panel (the most trippy and nudity-filled one, natch). Incidentally, the last boom-art decks we featured […]
Democratic State Senator Malcom Smith was arrested by FBI agents today after allegedly scheming to rig the 2013 New York City mayoral election. According to the feds, Smith issued bribes to several GOP leaders in order to get himself on the Republican ticket. According to sources contacted by the Post, the state senator would have needed the […]
Not even six-second clips are safe from Prince’s well–documented copyright fury, it seems, as the artist’s label has served Vine and its parent company, Twitter, with several Digital Millenium Copyright Act complaints over videos posted to the service.
