Finnish Lapland is the extraordinary region on the northern edge of the world. It's a land full of extremes. When it's quiet, it's dead silent. When it's light, it's light 24/7. And when it's dark, it's dark for week after week. Lapland and northern Finland are among the world's last wildernesses, which you can experience with the help of modern infrastructure and a wide range of services. Our attraction is the wilderness that makes every other place feel ordinary.

A fan of Star Wars took it upon himself to make this awesome animated sequence (without sound right now).
Eric Holubow is an urban photographer who seems to believe in the beauty of abandoned things, or perhaps in the persistance of beauty. Either way, its easy to get lost in these photos.
Superheros (and superstars like Marilyn and Rocky) have bad days too, sadly.

Macro shots of eyes are simultaneously beautiful and creepy, these from Armenian photographer Suren Manvelyan.
This one's been making the rounds, and with good reason: well-timed buckets of water and bald gentlemen make for some stunning images.

This short film is based on an archival sound recording taken from the 1945 Linguaphone series 'English Pronunciation - A practical handbook for the foreign learner.'
If consonants are the bones of a sound, then vowels are the muscles. And one of the features of English that makes it such a muscular and expressive language is the relatively large array of vowels, shades of vowels available to us.
This poetic and perhaps surprisingly moving film is based on a 1945 Linguaphone instructional recording and brought to us by filmmaker and visual storyteller Temujin Doran.

The very interesting tech--instrument, the Tenori On seems like a toy, until in the hands of a talent. Here, for example, is Little Boots making music all on her own. It is so great to see here layer elements on, and hear it come together.

Tokyo is extremely distinct city. I would love to introduce plenty of attractive aspects of Tokyo with time-lapse in motion. This movie is not enough to portray them but, I hope you like it. music "Ticking Away" by Cranston (http://cranston.bandcamp.com/)
A lovely little timelapse of Tokyo.
Parisian artist Above "ironically" is using social media to tell us we are too connected to social media. Very meta.
People look at me like I’m from another planet when I tell them I don’t have social media like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. In the eyes of social media I’m severely outdated, lost and not ‘connected’. Not partaking in the aforementioned social media makes me an outsider looking in on how hyper frequent society uses its sacred social media. I can’t help but observe the people around me who appear to be consumed and addicted to trying to keep up to speed on their social media pages. You check your Facebook page while driving. Tweet a message that you ‘just took a shower’. Instagram a photo of your double soy macchiato with extra foam and so it continues ad infinitum. I have more questions than I do answers with social media. We live in a ridiculously hyper fast pace life where information is exchanged so rapidly that it makes us feel inadequate and drains our attention span. This painting was executed at the GALORE festival (http://werket.dk/galore/) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The painting is a time-lapse composed of over 9,000 photos and painted over a 5-day period. As irony has it this video will be reblogged and seen on social media outlets the world over. Please join in and reblog on your facebook and twitter accounts. Enjoy and try to keep up.
"Absolut Unique" requires a total re-design of the Absolut Vodka's production process in Sweden. "Carefully orchestrated randomness," the process involves splash guns and color-generating machines with complex coating, pattern and placement algorithms to ensure that each bottle is absolutly (ha ha) unique.
We are proud to present ABSOLUT UNIQUE -- the new limited edition of nearly four million uniquely designed and numbered bottles, available now in airports across the world and with local vendors from October 2012. Hear the ABSOLUT UNIQUE team explain how this truly exceptional initiative came to life.
