Wicker Building

The Shanghai Expo is underway nearing its inauguration on May 1. These photos were just released, by photographer Iñigo Bujedo Aguirre, of Miralles Tagliabue's Spanish Pavilion — a steel structure with an undulating facade of handcrafted wicker.

Oversteps

For electronic music nerds, like me, a new album from Autechre is always something of an event. And with the latest "Oversteps", there's been quite a bit of hubbub. For nearly 20 years, this duo has created some of the most challenging and influential electronic music. Their generative and algorithmic music continues to border on chaos and beauty. And when they occasionally err on that of beauty, as they have done with Oversteps, it's nothing short of epic. That is, for us nerds.

Acrylic paintings by London-based artist Gordon Cheung. "Spray paint, oil, acrylic, pastels, stock listings and ink collide in his works to form epic techno-sublime vistas."

Jetsonorama Navajo Reservation

Street artist Jetsonorama unveiled a new oversized wheat paste piece titled "Hank & Thelma". This time they appeared on a Navajo Indian reservation just off highway 89. The context of his work as is appears against the stark emptiness of the Southwest landscape is just awesome.

Autografik

Here's a nice collection of modernist corporate identities applied to motor vehicles from the 60's and 70's. Love those buses.

Pixel Invasion

Great little film by Patrick Jean depicting the end of the world as we know it – the pixels take over.

Four Letter Words

Four Letter Words is an installation by Rob Seward consisting of fluorescent lights that forms generated word sequences. Although advanced in programming and conceptual thought, there's something inherently "low-tech" that I like about this.

Things To Learn

This is a fantastic animation of Christian Borstlap's wonderful stamp illustrations for Dutch children's charity, Kinderpostzegels. The playfulness and simplicity is just utterly charming.

Kranked

Everything about this production — the riding, course, setting, lighting, and camera work — is amazing. Here's a spoiler of the end ride in Kranked Revolve.

Subliminal

Street artist Sam3 appropriated a dozen derelict billboards around Murcia, Spain to convey a hidden message.

Really great stop motion animation by Tilles Singer who used skateboarding photos from multiple magazines as material for the film. Nicely done. (via booooooom)

Babies

A friend's friend's baby is featured in the upcoming film Babies by Thomas Balmès. Babies simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps. Looks to be an adorable romp of cuteness.
