It ends with hyper-realistic art like this. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think this is just a picture of a couple together. The most interesting thing about Ron’s work is that no matter how nonsensical or strange the dimensions or placement of the people are, they still look REAL. Some of his art is very heartwarming. But he doesn’t limit himself to that. He will also create pieces that will shock people.
He isn’t known for doing interviews or making statements. He just lets his art speak for itself. The level of detail on the finished sculptures is hard to wrap one’s mind around. He even created a likeness of himself as an oversized mask. This is Mueck at work. He was behind Ludo the ‘Gentle Giant’ on the 1986 film Labyrinth. Robby Leonardi | hey. Life of a Software Engineer.

Out of Disorder: Topographical Maps Carved from Electrical Tape and Intricate Thread Sculptures by Takahiro Iwasaki. When first approaching the artwork of Japanese artist Takahiro Iwasaki it’s entirely possible you might miss it altogether. Not only are his small buildings and electrical towers excruciatingly small and delicate, but they also rest on absurdly mundane objects: rolls of tape, a haphazardly wrinkled towel, or from the bristles of a discarded toothbrush. Only on close inspection do the small details come into focus, faint hints of urbanization sprouting from disorder. My favorite pieces are his topographical maps that have been carefully cut from thick rolls of gray and blue electrical tape.
Many of these objects were on view as part of the Constellations show at Cornerhouse in Manchester back in 2011 and at C24 Gallery last year. However Iwasaki currently has a new collection of much larger works at the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at GOMA in Queensland, much of which you can see over at designboom.

Learn a new programming language Learning new programming languages will expose you to new ways of thinking; especially if the new language uses a paradigm which you aren’t yet familiar with. Many of the ways of thinking that you will learn can be applied to languages that you already know, and you might even want to start using the new language for serious projects as well.
Good languages providing a great educational experience (but not necessarily limited to that) include any Lisp ( Scheme is good), Forth , PostScript or Factor ( stack-oriented programming languages ), J (wonderful array programming language ), Haskell ( strongly typed purely functional programming language ), Prolog ( logic programming ) and Erlang ( concurrent programming goodness). 2. A lot can be learnt from books. 3. What are the advantages of joining an open source project?

@Nate Thanks! Great writeup. @Kurt: Thanks. Absolutely love this article. @Mike: Thanks for your comment and passing along the article. Great article, I agree we don't always need a digital interface. @Rachel: Thanks! I think the call to simplify and remove interfaces when they're not needed is great, and I would love to see more designs come out that allow me to fluidly interact with the complexities of the real world.
@Jeff: I think you nailed it with this phrase, "Sometimes we may able to get away without having a UI if our intentions can be sensed reliably, but other times we will need to have some sort of UI. " @Sunil: I'm speechless. We're Obsessed With This Easy DIY Artwork Project (& You'll Be, Too!) UPDATE: The long weekend is the perfect time to start some new projects, so why not try this awesome (and so easy) artwork DIY? This story was originally published on July 25. If there are two things that have been commanding our attention lately, they're cool artwork and chevron prints. So, we were obviously pretty stoked to find a way to incorporate both — for cheap! — in an amazing DIY project for your apartment.
Inspired by the work of artist Nancy Ramirez, two stellar Refinery29 interns collaborated on this easy-does-it way to spice up an empty wall. There's no need to be intimidated — this project is doable for any level of DIY-er (it's actually supposed to look a little imperfect!). All you need is a paintbrush, your fave colors of paint, a canvas, and some painter's tape. From the moment we spied this Nancy Ramirez painting on Pinterest, we were smitten. Assemble your paints and squeeze a quarter-size amount of each color onto your palette. Et voilà!
