Chris Jordan Pictures: Consumer Fractals of America

Massive cellphone spiral wave (world technovortex into itself).
Chris Jordan is an american artist who explores the "vast and bizarre measures of our society" weaving distance into fractal: "near vs far" or the pounding methamorphosis of molecules into mountains. "I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming".

Bizzare city assembled of circuitry-boards as blocks of slumming dystopian urbanity.

Depicts two million plastic beverage bottles, the number used in the US every five minutes.

"Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics".

Depicts 32,000 Barbies, equal to the number of elective breast augmentation surgeries performed monthly in the US in 2006.

Depicts one hundred million toothpicks, equal to the number of trees cut in the U.S. yearly to make the paper for junk mail.

Bansky dizzes Wall Street: Let Them Eat Crack

A blood and money dripping rat runs carefully away with the people's cash. This in Broadway, an artvertisment you can see off the rearview mirror as you head into Wall Street. LET THEM EAT CRACK wss compleetd october 2.

A couple of days before Bansky hung this other sarcastic rat near Soho. Rather coarse and unexciting, lifted in its energy a bit by its sequel. New York, Gotham, the city of Highstreet rats.

Brilliant Noise Magnetic Film

Brilliant Noise from Semiconductor on Vimeo.

Brilliant Noise takes us into the data vaults of solar astronomy. After sifting through hundreds of thousands of computer files, made accessible via open access archives, Semiconductor have brought together some of the sun's finest unseen moments. These images have been kept in their most raw form, revealing the energetic particles and solar wind as a rain of white noise. This grainy black and white quality is routinely cleaned up by NASA, hiding the processes and mechanics in action behind the capturing procedure. Most of the imagery has been collected as single snapshots containing additional information, by satellites orbiting the Earth. They are then reorganised into their spectral groups to create time-lapse sequences. The soundtrack highlights the hidden forces at play upon the solar surface, by directly translating areas of intensity within the image brightness into layers of audio manipulation and radio frequencies.

Some of the coolest Burning Man Festival installations

"Staring at (Schrodinger's) Cat Staring at Cat Staring"

"Staring at cat staring at cat staring" by Steve Bishop

A clay sculpture that plays with deep ideas with great naturality: sort of an infinite loop flowing, like a mirror against a mirror with the river ebbing and flowing through the circuitry of the eyes laser star war light (perhaps the eternal golden braid between Bach, Escher and Godel). And last but not least, playing with the quantum (cat) paradox proposed by Edwin Schrodinger as an image of the undecidable principle in reality, the o,1 nature: cat dead or alive, being both at the same time and only one of the before when perception ("the ray of an other eye") endows it with its function-collapsing reality, an extension of the wave-particle duality. This time the uncertainty (the catch) being which cat will explode first.

Kate Moss as a gold goddess

The British Museum will soon display a gold statue of the super sexy top model Kate Moss. Its creator, Marc Quinn, claims that this could be billed as the biggest gold statue built since ancient Egypt. The "Siren", as its labeled by its author, will weight over 50 kilos. The golden Kate Moss will interact with other ancient sculptures in the Greek Gallery, and visitors will enjoy it starting from next october.

Geostationary Banana over Texas

This "weird but yellow" public space art installation, a project of Montreal artist Cesar Saez, will float soon over Texas' skies between the high atmosphere and the low orbit, and it'll be visible from any point of this southern state. The giant banana with a length of over 300 meters will spy on oil-ranch dark guys from 50 km above. The total cost of the Geostationary Banana is 1.5 million dollars.

Banksy Unveiled?

British tabloid, The Mail on Sunday, published the supposedly real identity of the world famous street artist known as Banksy. Based on a picture of whom might be the urban art maverick whose works have sold for spectacular sums, this newspaper assures that Banksy´s name is Robin Cunningham, a 34 year old citizen from Bristol. 

But the only real question around this buzz is: Who the fuck cares about his identity as long as we can still enjoy his works in the middle of the streets? Is it that maybe contemp pop culture cant´s stand the presence of an anonymous idol because there is no one to interview and the paparazzis can´t chase him.
