Christopher Mitchell, a computer science PhD student, is making it his quest to build a 1:1 scale model of Manhattan in Minecraft. So far, he’s only been able to replicate landmarks using models from Google’s 3D Warehouse and the U.S. Geological Survey, but eventually, he’d like to make a software copy of every single structure on the […]
Well, this is handy, isn’t it? Butterfruit Labs created this Manhattan subway map with the stop names subbed out for the area’s best coffee shop. 14th Street on the A/C/E becomes Blue Bottle, Spring Street on the 6 becomes Gimme! Coffee, et cetera. Without the names of stops to orient you it takes a bit […]
Manhattan is the island of skyscrapers, traffic jams, art, and nightlife, each of which can be whimsically accompanied by its own fair amount of garbage and inconveniences… and a beach? There are plans to construct a beach right on Manhattan’s own waterfront, not too far from the aforementioned skyscrapers. (Perhaps they’ll provide some much needed […]
Photographer Gus Petro went to Manhattan and took some pictures. Then he went to the Grand Canyon and took some pictures. Then he photoshopped them together, and the results are very pretty. Take a look in the gallery. […]
Do you use the bus system? Do you feel like a total dumbass at your stop waiting for a bus that seems like it’ll never show up, even though it’s only a couple minutes before the scheduled arrival time which is entirely dependent on the consistency of bus drivers? Then you start worrying, “Maybe it crashed,” and […]
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 […]
There’s nothing really that controversial about Marc Bradley Johnson’s art project, but the School of Visual Arts MFA student’s final piece Take This Sperm and Be Free of Me — i.e. 68 vials of his own semen — have been confiscated as a biohazard. Apparently, there are some risks involved in freely dispersing your sperm to strangers over Craigslist. “I’ve been […]
The New York Times has got the scoop for you. It turns out that living costs in Manhattan are more expensive than other parts of the country, like, for example, Kansas. This revelation really sucks for Manhattan’s middle class, because now they no longer exist, according to the Times. Rest in peace, middle class. The […]
If you work or live in Manhattan, it’s likely you’re building won’t have a 13th floor, because damn, people are superstitious. But that doesn’t mean you’re safe from the Devil. Here are ANIMAL’s photos of all buildings 666 on Manhattan’s Avenues. Ave Satani! Check back every Friday for a new photo series. See the photos […]
Well, this is certainly impressive. Photographer Sergey Semonov captured this view of Manhattan by stitching together multiple shots taken from a helicopter so it’s lies, LIES, LIES!!! But close enough. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? The panoramic shot just won an Epson’s Pano Award. See it in full-size. Get a little closer. Mmm, those details. That Manhattan grid. Mmm, make a girl dizzy, Sergey. […]
