With 100% less dickishness! Finally, a dumb brilliant meme that requires no destruction of other people’s property. Kids these days — so considerate, amirite? […]
David Thomas Smith created these striking digital colleges by taking thousands of images from Google Maps, then stitching them together in Photoshop. And besides making the aerial view of your backyard look just like that totally trippy poster you had in college, the pieces have a more critical intent. By refracting the landscapes into repeating, kaleidoscopic […]
To call attention to the dismal state of the Gowanus Canal and the controversial federal effort to clean it up, a group of actors and activists will stage a century-old play near the mouth of the waterway. Why a play? An Enemy of the People, penned in 1882, concerns the citizens of a highly polluted waterfront village. […]

Greek photojournalist Myrto Papadopoulos brings us these beautiful, almost otherworldly photos of prostitutes in their workplaces. The ongoing photo project, called The Attendants, examines Greece’s ever-evolving sex industry and its relationship with the economic crisis.

Perhaps the only thing more ridiculous […]
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.
