Jeremy Bena, an art student from Kansas City, capitalized on a snow day by exercising his abilities. Behold Bena’s Snow Toilet. “I’m an art student, just having fun, trying to make the most of the weather out here. I figured I would, you know, make a toilet,” Bena says in the video, seemingly unaware of […]
These rather unsettling photos of, er, artfully arranged food mélanges being shoved into human mouths come from the mind of photographer Mathieu Frossard. They may not rev up the viewer’s appetite, but they certainly accomplish some sort of visceral effect. Also featured in the series are some mouth-watering platters of ornately garnished horse hooves, fish […]
Synesthesia is a neurological disorder (and/or gift depending on worldview) in which your five senses sometimes seem to have their wires crossed — you can hear color, see sound, so on and so forth.

Did you know his dick would fall off and he’d shoot webbing out of his butt? Because his dick would fall off and he’d shoot webbing out […]

Meaning that if there is ever a sci-fi movie made about the Voyager 1, and this was used as the soundtrack, it would basically be the most awesomely meta score ever. Domenico Vicinanza is a […]
Some students from Hunter College are being investigated by school officials after a video surfaced of them playing a questionable game. In the video, two participants put balloons under their shirts (representative of a fetus) and try to pop the other’s “fetus” with a plastic utensil. It’s like cockfighting, but not deadly. The objective actually […]
The centennial Armory art show opens a week from today, and because nobody can handle the anticipation, a comprehensive virtual preview went live this morning on Artsy, the browsing platform run on the Art Genome Project. From a quick scroll through, it seems that the experience on their well-designed HTML5 site is far more pleasant […]
