Hanging Begonia, Chameleon In late October, at the TEDx event in Groningen, Netherlands, one man stood on the stage and gave a fascinating talk about how his life's work had taken him on a journey to becoming an artist. Arie van't Riet studied radiation physics at Delft University of Technology and obtained his PhD from Utrecht University.
As a registered medical physicist, he saw first-hand at the hospital, the amazing progress in image quality x-rays had achieved. One day, his colleague asked him to take an x-ray of one of his art paintings. It was a thin object and van't Riet had never done something like this before, but as he said, "it worked. " van't Riet went on to x-ray insects and then complete natural scenes that included animals like lizards, turtles, cats and monkeys.

Banksy Fans Interact with His Clever NYC Street Art. 4 | These Photos Showcase The Wonders Of The World You Can't See. When we think of stunning photographs, we tend to picture landscapes on an epic scale. Equally awe-inspiring--and perhaps more difficult to shoot--is the incredibly small. Since 1974, the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition has celebrated vistas that are only visible when magnified hundreds of times. This year's winner is Wim van Egmond, curator of the Micropolitan Museum. (The museum is wonderfully known as "The Institute for the Promotion of the Less than One Millimetre.
") Van Egmond collected the algae himself, using a plankton net and a fine meshed net. Van Egmond says he approaches his photographs like human portraits in order to capture each micro-organism's unique personality. CouchSurfing | gabriele galimberti. Stories of 100 couchsurfers around the world CouchSurfing is the act of trading hospitality, practiced by the over 2 million members of the CouchSurfing network present in 230 countries worldwide. A CouchSurfer will stay at the host’s house for a day or more, depending on the arrangement made between the host and the guest. CouchSurfers contact each other through the organization’s nonprofit website, which exists in 33 languages and boasts 20 million hits a day. The movement began in San Francisco in 2003, merging a utopian idea of a better world with the web 2.0.
CouchSurfing was created in order to allow everyone to travel and share the widest possible range of cultural experiences. CouchSurfing is always free, as one of the few rules is that money cannot be exchanged between members. Riverboom’s Gabriele Galimberti traveled around the world with CouchSurfing for more than a year in order to discover this young, diverse, multicultural, multiracial global community.
Abstract CG-Forms Are Sliced Into New Visuals In This Awesomely Weird Animation. SLICED is the latest audiovisual film from Russian artist Maxim Meshkov (aka DXMIQ). In the abstract short forms float into view before being sliced to reform into something else in an ambient trip for the senses. The fluid shapes transform into different animations in a set of beguling visuals that have a Rorschach test effect, bringing to mind everything from spacecraft to flowing liquid, forests, and biological matter, before the ending pulls you into another place entirely.
It's an evocative experience and feels like a natural progression from DXMIQ's work for FIELD on their generative film Energy Flow, executively produced by The Creators Project, where he designed and art directed the visuals for the LHC segment which explored the world of particle physics. Check out some stills from SLICED below. Watch DXMIQ's director's cut of his Energy Flow film. And to learn more about FIELD's Energy Flow, watch our documentary on them below...

Dvein, a filmmaking and animation collective out of Barcelona, Spain, recently premiered their music video for "Magma. " It's a mesmerizing and mind-bending visual adventure, created for Adobe. Facial and topographical landscapes, molten liquids and colors, fuse together in a near seamless integration of live action and digital animation.
The look is so precise that artifice, like the video's subjects and objects, seems to melt away. Comprised of Fernando Domínguez, Teo Guillem, and Carlos Pardo, Dvein provides direction and art direction for live action and animation projects. Their work, whether commercial or experimental—often both simultaneously—is incredibly imaginative and often stunning. Colors and patterns which feature in the video There is also a Borgesian quality to “Magma”—a topographical landscape mapped onto the landscape of the face which, when viewed in close-up, reveals a hidden topography.

Andy Denzler é um artista gráfico que tenta fazer um paralelo entre a nossa realidade e a interferência que fazemos nela, seja ela boa ou ruim. Como intermediária entre nós e a imagem, há uma deformação provocada pelo artista. O artista nasceu em Zurique em 1965 e desde muito cedo descobriu a paixão pelo design e fotografia. Ainda com 16 anos, Denzler reproduziu algumas obras de Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Schnabel, Clemente, Picasso e Monet, a partir de um negociante de arte suíço famoso na década de 80. Estas reproduções foram usadas para livros de arte ou material impresso.
Já com 20 anos, mudou-se para a África do Sul, durante o Apartheid, e por lá ficou um ano, absorvendo experiências que lhe deixaram fortes impressões e o influenciaram. Dali a um tempo, já como designer gráfico e fotógrafo, Andy teve a oportunidade de trabalhar com todos os diferentes tipos de equipamento audio-visual, como vídeo e material fotográfico, e interessou-se em experimentá-los com diferentes técnicas. Digital art by Maureen P. McAuliffe. “I am a contemporary artist, utilizing fractal and imaging software in the creation of digital art.
My work relies heavily on the innate response to color to ignite the visual cortex. In his optics and color experiments, Sir Isaac Newton determined “Color is a sensation in the viewer’s mind”, a concept explored in my abstract work. An innate response acts as a catalyst of emotion, thereby creating a filter for visual perception unique to the viewer. This initial sensorial response can influence one’s visual association cortex, affecting selective response and neural representations, and allows for a resonance between the art, emotion, and interpretation.” Maureen P. In Between. A sculptor by training, Korean-born Keun Young Park masterfully arranges shredded paper into textured self-portraits. After photographing herself in various poses, Park digitally manipulates and resizes the images, prints them, then tears them up by hand into thousands of pieces. From there she reconfigures each sliver of the wreckage into uncannily intricate portraits made of scale-like paper shreds.
Opened yesterday, Park's most recent exhibition "In Between" at Accola Griefen Gallery in NYC shows off the superb talent and dreamy aesthetic that makes Park so remarkable. Park departs slightly from earlier work in the medium, opting for washed out blues and greens over bright hues. Park is also showing one translucent soap sculpture of a disembodied face. "In Between" will continue to show at Accola Griefen Gallery through 23 February 2013. Images courtesy of the gallery. 10 Perfect Christmas GIFs To Send A Loved One.
