Hey, girl. ANIMAL’s co-pigeoneer and Vine ally Allison Bagg (sup, Vine?) has made you something real special. Shh! Shh… Don’t say anything. This is what the loop was made for. Introducing: The Ryan Cat. […]
Nothing tops off a wild night on the town like a nice, long, public pee. But as many intrepid squat-poppers have learned the hard way, public urination can also be a total buzz kill if a police officer catches you mid-release. Worry no more: Courtesy of Gothamist, here is an interactive map that shows where […]
To create these vaguely unsettling images, sculptor Nathan Sawaya and photographer Dean West augment staged but otherwise realistic scenes with an extra shot of artifice in the form of hyperrealistic LEGO sculptures. In the image above, it’s the cute little dog and the mannequin in the window. Each photo presents an archetypically American scene–the trenchcoated […]
“There’s some trademark violation going on, obviously. Whatever.” F.A.T. artist Aram Bartholl’s talking about Evan Roth’s project Ideas Worth Spreading. Pop on a headset, pop in your own Powerpoint or just stand next to the giant red “TED” and it’s your TED Talk. Sup?

Good news today for both Apple’s iMessage and the neighborhood drug dealer. The messaging service which allows users to send texts, sexts, photos, videos and group messages over Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE networks as an alternative to standard text messaging has provided quite a challenge for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s surveillance. An iMessage from one iPhone to another has proven to be nearly impossible to […]
As if James Franco wasn’t busy enough, working with Marina Abramović on a documentary, etc, etc, etc, he’ll be performing an art this Sunday at MoMa PS1. While still reeling over the widespread success of Spring Breakers, the performance is said to be based off of Chekov’s The Seagull, featuring a combination of theater, dance, video, live and prerecorded music, […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. To mark this week’s release of Wolf, Tyler, the Creator’s third album, we’re reaching back to the rapper’s debut. Bastard‘s “Odd Toddlers” draws extensively from “Huit Octobre 1971” by the French fusion […]
