Summertime
The sun is high and it’s getting hotter outside. Others would go swimming or sit on outside a bar, but this weather makes me want to buy a old Triumph bike or better yet a Falcon and hit the road. Fuck yeah…

Sten & Lex
Sten & Lex developed this technique to make Poster Stencil art. First they make the stencils and paste them on a panel of wood as a poster. Then they paint the whole board black, when it’s dry they remove the stencil but leave some parts on the board. In the end the stencil is destroyed and becomes part of the poster.

From here to ear
Céleste Boursier-Mougenot, a french artist, created this installation for The Curve. It’s a walk-though aviary for a flock of zebra finches, furnished with electric guitars and other musical instruments.
As the birds go about their routine activities, perching on or feeding from the various pieces of equipment, they create a captivating, live soundscape.
For fans of Earth, Neil...

Fascinating things going on here. The performance Future Prologues explores perceptions of reality and time through Totally Wreck’s complex web of self-created mythology, spirituality, and technology. The recent UT alumni have created what they call a cosmic landscape, which fuses matter and anti-matter, transient culture and forgotten materials, findings from past lives and future...

Beautiful sofa, by the South Korean designer Hyung Suk Cho. Love the simplicity of it and the fact that every side, even the back, looks good. Would love to see a 2 or 3 seater execution.

If you are wondering, the music is “Jewled Turtle” by the progressive rock band Guapo.
