Loving this.

Speaking without words

Perspectives – Andrea from BaseMOTION on Vimeo.

Really nice video project from the lovely people at Base Motion. Sometimes the pauses, ponderings, ahems, erms, hesitations and ruminations between the words we say are more loaded with meaning than the comment itself. The body language of thought presented in its raw beautiful form.

Add Art

Add-Art is a free FireFox add-on which replaces advertising on websites with curated art images. The art shows are updated every two weeks and feature contemporary artists and curators.

This is just brilliant, a lovely hack for Firefox users to discard the usual tirade of advertising with a curated exhibition of art. Get cultured whilst you browse.

I absolute love this, don’t know why, it’s properly freaky. Reminds me of the scene in Never Ending Story with the Oracle thingy shooting lasers from her eyes at Atreyu

Hardly anyone knows that a secret tunnel runs deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. In May 2008, more than a century after it was begun, the tunnel has finally been completed.

This is such a beautifully simple yet well executed idea. I’ve seen the concept a dozen times before, yet this is on a global scale, and with Artichoke’s delightful exuberance and finesse, it makes something just that extra bit special. I’m planning on going to see it this week in London, and in a few weeks from the New York side when I’m visiting the US. I wonder how many people have looked in from both ends?
