Art as Therapy: Alain de Botton on the 7 Psychological Functions of Art
by Maria Popova “Art holds out the promise of inner wholeness.” The question of what art is has occupied humanity since the dawn of recorded history. In Art as Therapy (public library), philosopher Alain de Botton — who has previously examined such diverse and provocative subjects as why work doesn’t work, what education and the arts can learn from religion, and how to think more about sex — teams up with art historian John Armstrong to examine art’s most intimate purpose: its ability to mediate our psychological shortcomings and assuage our anxieties about imperfection. Like other tools, art has the power to extend our capacities beyond those that nature has originally endowed us with. De Botton and Armstrong go on to outline the seven core psychological functions of art: What we’re worried about forgetting … tends to be quite particular. 'We don't just observe her, we get to know what is important about her.' But these worries, they argue, are misguided. 'What hope might look like.'

Incredible paintings of sci-fi suburbia will make you wish you were Swedish
Welcome to rural Sweden, sometime in the late '80s. Citizens go about their mundane lives and children explore the countryside. But something isn't quite right. Robots and hovercrafts are commonplace, and decaying science facilities sprout from the harsh Scandinavian landscape.

The artwork is impactful as a result of this juxtaposition between the harsh realities of life and the sci-fi technologies of our dreams. Simon Stålenhag used a Wacom tablet and pen to digitally paint the works below.

What Happens When You Zap Instant Film With 15,000 Volts | Wired Design
Phillip Stearns is an artist who sees beauty where others see computer bugs. Phillip Stearns He collects images of artful computer abnormalities on his blog and has transformed images from fried cameras into tasteful home furnishings, but for his latest project called High Voltage, Stearns is experimenting with electricity and chemistry. Each image in this series is created by zapping Fujifilm instant color film with electricity produced by a transformer used to power neon signs. Stearns' process isn't exposing the film per se. The light from the sparks accounts for some of the bluish colors in the background of the shots, but the electrical "tree" structures, technically called Lichtenberg figures, are created when the electricity vaporizes the silver halides embedded in the film. He adds to the image by pouring liquids—bleach, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol—onto the film and arcing electricity through them which which adds chemical coloration. "Plasma.

There are plenty of GSV photo projects out there, but Hobson’s heavily ‘shopped Cinemascapes are a refreshing departure from the usual documentary reality. “GSV is a fantasy world,” says Hobson. Hobson estimates that 95% of his time on GSV yields nothing of interest, but an accidental benefit is an increased geographical knowledge. “Patience is key. Once he’s got a shot he likes, it’s time to add some fantasy. Hobson came to surfing GSV when he was location scouting for a movie to be directed in Los Angeles.
