Spanish artist Eugenio Recuenco’s fashion portrait series as homage-to-Picasso is impressive. The fragmented composite frames and prop-styling work to emulate some of the 20th century master’s most famous cubist paintings in a tasteful, restrained, more-than-straightforward-imitative manner. They may not have the conceptual rigor of Addie Wagenknecht and Pablo Garcia’s Webcam Venus, the populist appeal of Hillary Smith’s […]
Bronx-born “Godfather of Graffiti,” SEEN, known for his full-color, top-to-bottom throw-ups on New York City subway cars dating back to 1973, has been undergoing a radical departure from the street style he helped pioneer. For his latest work, on view right now at Fabien Castanier Gallery in California, he weaves thick layers of drips and […]
Researchers at Brown University have successfully invented a wireless brain sensor, an implantable interface that translates thoughts into commands to a computer. This is the first ever wireless version of such a device; in the past, brain-computer interfaces always required a number of bulky cords. A wireless device like this has the potential to vastly […]
Graphic designer David Schwen has been posting works from his Pantone Pairings project on Instagram, and they are so nice to look at. Schwen has creatively combined Pantone swatches with two foods that go together: Chicken and waffles, spaghetti and meatballs, peanut butter and jelly, and so on. Appetizing art: Double win.

George Lucas, recently retired and now sitting on a roughly $2 billion pension, is planning on opening a museum in San Francisco. The screenwriter-turned-curator will not be featuring Star Wars-inspired art and memorabilia; one of those exists already. Instead, he’ll be sharing original work from his own private “thousands-strong” collection, which he started when he was […]
Are 3D-printed clothes the apparel of the future? A Dutch designer has already dabbled in that idea, and a new Michael Schmidt–Francis Bitonti collaboration has resulted in this mesh dress, precisely designed for Dita Von Teese to show off the medium’s potential for creating custom clothing. As evidenced by the photos above, 3D-printing also allows for the […]
Vine is a pretty amazing platform, but its youth still shows: though plenty of filmmakers, comedians, and various other content-creators are populating the social network with great six-second clips, its unrefined exploratory tools can make finding the good stuff difficult. That’s where ANIMAL comes in. We’ve spent a lot of time with Vine, and along […]
