Israeli artist Sigalit Landau left this black gown in the Dead Sea for two years, checking in on it periodically.
You can see the final result, a thick coating of salt crystals in the photos that came out of the project or at London’s Marlborough Contemporary, where they’ll be on display until September 3rd.
Paris artist François Beaurain created these Monrovian animations as part of the 2015 exhibition Making Africa by Vitra Design Museum and Guggenheim Bilbao.
Over on Eight by Eight there's a focus on the gorgeous hand-drawn match notes prepared before every match by BBC Radio Newcastle’s Nick Barnes. From the impeccable hand lettering to the crest of the opposing team, I am equally inspired and envious of his deft, emblematic and downright stunning notes. Just check out the tiny flags he inflects each of the opposing player's with.
He says he rarely refers to them during the match, but it's not surprising that after employing such attention in their creation, he wouldn't need to.
Been adding some new designs to our stuff including this one. Get yours today.
James Charles, in his series American Iconomics. used real U.S. currency for each of these drawing of American icons.
Guido Argentini’s models in his series “Argentum,” are covered in shiny silver makeup and are meant to cover the range of women in Greek mythology, from Demeter and Persephone to Artemis and Electra.
Evoking the luminous polished planes of the work of Brancusi and the verve of Degas’ ballet sketches, these photographs endow the human body with both the solidity of sculpture and the vivid energy of dance.
Using geometrical props Guido Argentini created a contrast between the human body and the archetypal forms of geometry: triangles, circles and squares.
Toronto animator (Pizza and Pixels) Aiden Glenn turns stuff out of doors into what he calls "toon bombs", googly-eyed character faces.

Poem of the Day
Reflecting on the memories of the golden age of Hollywood, it gives the feeling that there is no such place like a movie theater to celebrate the birth of film from an artist. "The greatest emotion I have ever had in my life took place in the dark" and not in front of a smartphone or television. I have decided to spotlight the grandiose movie palaces to the independent movie houses. This is Cinema.
Located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, in Graubünden, the hotel Null Stern (Zero Stars in English) delivers for true nature lovers an unprecedented night under the stars. This "room" was imagined and created by hoteliers Frank and Patrick Riklin, without walls or ceiling for the sake of the panorama. It costs $245 a night, with a discount when bad weather arrives. It's worth noting the bathroom is a 10-minute walk.

We've seen Time Quilted Photos from Fong Qi Wei before, where a series of photos show changes in light across time in a single image. Here, the quilts are animated.
Julieanne Kost is able in this set of turning something as unbeautiful as evaporation ponds into images that evoke Rothko's considered color fields.

"The performance matches seemingly impossible visions: images look alive while bodies fly, defying gravity. The acrobatic and digital choreography outlines a body language that involves a new relationship to time, space and the whole world. Beyond looking for technical achievement, what matters is the attempt at creating a motion dreamscape by way of images."
6,000 miles in length and 120 miles wide, this panorama stretches from East Russia to Northern South Africa. NASA calls this work of art ‘The Long Swath’, and it comes in at 19.06 gigapixels.
View full-screen for maximum effect* On April 12, 2013, the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) reached its final orbit, 705 kilometers (438 miles) above Earth. One week later, the satellite's natural-color imager scanned a swath of land 185-kilometers wide and 9,000 kilometers long (120 by 6,000 miles)-an unusual, unbroken distance considering 70 percent of Earth is covered with water.
The full 15 min version, if you have the time, is worth it. The continuous shot shows direct and immediate comparisons and changes on the earth's surface.

There are several videos circulating showing a comparison of the largest stars. I like these kind of things, and I wanted to try one myself. Probably because I also watched "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan as a kid. Actually my first Youtube upload. Hope you like it...
This is a crisp and clear star size chart to help me understand my place in the universe.
With handmade kites, and waxed kite strings coated in ground glass, these kids (and adults) compete with their neighbors to see who can cut whose string first.

This video is a compilation of some of the footage I shot there. Most of the locations are within the city of Rio De Janeiro, but I also traveled to the famous Iguazú Falls on the border of the Brazilian state of Paraná and the Argentinian province of Misiones. In 2011 Iguazú Falls was announced as one of the seven winners of the New Seven Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation. RIO DE JANEIRO No wonder the beautiful city of Rio De Janeiro was chosen to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. Rio de Janeiro, or simply Rio, is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city of Brazil, and the third largest metropolitan area and agglomeration in South America, boasting approximately 6.3 million people within the city proper. Part of the city has been designated as a World Heritage Site, named "Rio de Janeiro: Carioca Landscapes between the Mountain and the Sea", identified by UNESCO in the category Cultural Landscape. Rio de Janeiro is one of the most visited cities in the southern hemisphere and is known for its natural settings, carnival celebrations, samba, Bossa Nova, balneario beaches such as Barra da Tijuca, Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. Some of the most famous landmarks in addition to the beaches include the giant statue of Christ the Redeemer ("Cristo Redentor") atop Corcovado mountain, named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Sugarloaf mountain (Pão de Açúcar) with its cable car; the Sambódromo, a permanent grandstand-lined parade avenue which is used during Carnival; and Maracanã Stadium, one of the world's largest football stadiums. I hope you enjoy the video!

Joe Capra of Scientifantastic is a Los Angeles-based time-lapse cinematographer, filmmaker and photographer made this vibrant and beautiful video of Rio and Iguazú Falls.
Daniel Kordan captured this amazing shot on the world's largest salt flat in Boliva Using long-exposures.
“There are not so many places in the world where you can enjoy absolute dark sky,” Kordan told My Modern Met. “Light pollution is in the cities and even small villages.”
