Bosch'a original
The contemporary interpretation
Netherlands-based Studio Smack has reinterpreted Hieronymus Bosch's painting "The Garden of Earthly Delights" (1490–1510).
In their latest work, the group cleared the original landscape of the middle panel of Bosch’s painting and reconstructed it into a hallucinatory 4K animation. The creatures that populate this indoor playground embody the excesses and desires of 21st century Western civilization. Consumerism, selfishness, escapism, the lure of eroticism, vanity and decadence. All characters are metaphors for our society where loners swarm their digital dream world. They are symbolic reflections of egos and an imagination of people as they see themselves - unlike Bosch's version, where all individuals more or less look the same. From a horny Hello Kitty to a coke hunting penis snake. From an incarnate spybot to headless fried chickens.

There are so many of these I've never heard of, let of tried. But I want to. Have any of you tried these?
When time and distance are suddenly jumped, when something as far off and long ago as Paris on the eve of World War I, when people then and there look a lot like people here and now. Yeah. Love it.

This witty and gorgeous photo series, Back to Light, from photographer Caleb Charland, has fruit, vinegar and loose change generating enough power to light lamps and LED lights.
Charland explains:
"By inserting a galvanized nail into one side of a potato and a copper wire in the other side a small electrical current is generated. The zinc coating on the nail gives off electrons due to the electrolyte environment within the potato. These electrons then travel along the copper wire providing the electrical voltage to illuminate a small light emitting diode. The utter simplicity of this electrical phenomenon is endlessly fascinating for me."
Korean video artist Kojer placed the animated characters from some of Studio Ghibli's most famous, including My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle, etc., with real life locations shot mostly in South Korea such as Han River Park, Naksan Park, and the N Seoul Tower.
