Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts , which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting , sculpture , printmaking , photography , and other visual media.

Cosmic Animations Capture A Surprising Reality
When I first ran across these cosmically captivating animations by Ignacio Torres, I was sure the sparkling clouds in the images where created on a computer… it really surprised me when I found out they are actually made of colored dust and reflective confetti! Torres, a recent photography graduate from the University of North Texas, began the project with the idea in mind that all human life is ultimately made of cosmic matter, the result of a stars death. He explains:
Feel-o-Meter is a huge interactive installation on Lindau Island’s light house that shows the prevalent feeling of the city dwellers. Photo feed from various cameras installed on lakeside are fed into a computer that analyzes and gives result like happy, sad or indifferent to the giant smiley on top of the light house. The idea is taken from the project Public Face I installed in Berlin in year 2008 that tells the average mood of the citizens on a large screen. However feel-o-meter is different because it uses kinetically moving parts instead of a screen which looks like a smiley floating on the sky at night.

Pour a Glass of Wine and Sink Into One of These Unusual, Luxurious Bathtubs
digg On March 10, 1869, railroad officials, political leaders and work gangs converged at Promontory Point, Utah, to drive in the last spike of the Pacific Railroad, the first of five transcontinental railroads built in the 19th century. The driving of the spike linked the Union Pacific line built from East to West with the Central Pacific, which had commenced construction in California. On January 28, 1986, after about 73 seconds into its launch, space shuttle Challenger exploded, leading to the deaths of its seven crew members, which included the first teacher in space. The first transcontinental telegraph line went into operation 149 years ago on October 24, 1861, when the gap between the country’s eastern and western networks was closed. The year before, Congress passed the Pacific Telegraph Act, subsidizing its construction and Hiram Sibley, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company, organized crews to build west from Omaha and East from Carson City to Salt Lake City.
