Photographer Cy Kuckenbaker created the above film, in which six hours of departures from San Diego International Airport happen in just 30 seconds. But it isn’t done in the timelapse style you’re used to–Kuckenbaker doesn’t simply fast forward through each takeoff; he shows them all at the same time. How did Kuckenbaker pull it off? […]
ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original idea sketch next to a finished piece. This week, Eva and Franco Mattes tell us about their piece Catt (2010) and trolling Maurizio Cattelan. Known for their provocative projects that involve and expose its willing and unwilling participants, Eva and Franco Mattes have stolen many little bits […]
Oh, no big deal, it’s just A TANK ROLLING THROUGH A HIGHWAY!!! And the best part, the utter nonchalance of the driver and his passenger. They’re like, “Oh. Look. A tank.” In monotone. As terrible Russian pop music bleats softly in the background. Oop, and there it went. Rollin’ on then. On the Russian dash-cam forums, […]

That search produced the above image, perhaps the most […]

Brooklynite Mike Sorisi created Knicklyn as a way to give a home to people like him: diehard hoops fans from Kings County who’d rather stay true to NYC’s original team than jump ship to the Nets. Within days of setting up shop–selling t-shirts and stickers on Big Cartel–Sorisi received a cease-and-desist letter from none other than […]

French animator Joseph Vasconi created the above short, in which each of 2012’s 12 months gets a single second of bold, minimalistic slide of animation. In January, we see a cruise ship tipping over (remember that?), in 2012 we see Kim Dotcom going behind bars, and so on. There are a few pretty cheeky surprises in […]
