Wowwww…. this video clip of performance art by Maedir Eugster is impressive in a very big way. Finding exact points of balance on a dozen+ palm frond ribs, Eugster’s art is microcosmic – with such delicate balance in systems, a feather’s movement can alter an entire structure. If you are an impatient viewer make sure to skip through towards the end to see the final product- gnarly. (via Juxtapoz) DELICATE EQUILIBRIUM
Who thinks of coursing 15,000 volts of electricity through pieces of wood? Apparently Melanie Hoff does. In a very extraordinary experimental piece of conceptual art, Hoff has time-lapse documented the strange erosion that occurs whence passing such a large current through the fibers of wood. SHOCKA

Blooming from Western E.U. culture centers London & Barcelona; Lobulo Design is as high-class & meticulous as they come.

Maybe at some point I’ll attempt a simple Photoshop job with Dick Cheney in some of this high fashion garb (maybe the smiling picture Eric gave me ;} ). FASHION BASHIN’ !!

Exploring new materials and mediums is what the evolution of art depends on. Klari Reis is one such artist / scientist that is blazing trails with her experimentation with plastic-epoxy polymer. Tinting the polymer herself and using petri dishes as a substrate, Reis manipulates the epoxy into delightfully abstract small scale works that make viewers question what in the hell is going on.

Massive Attack, a trip-hop group based out of England, somewhere along the line did a slight re-edit of William DeVaughn’s “Be Thankful For What You’ve Got” to great effect.
