The Vein has a new single out for Magma and while the music doesn’t really do it for me, the video, directed by Dvein pretty much blew me away. Holy crap.

The Clockmakers

This video starts off pretty slow but boy do things pick up along the way.

“In this experimental animated short from Renaud Hallée, we travel inside a mysterious mechanism made up entirely of revolving gearwheels, triangles and lines. In this whirling, hypnotic world, dozens of tiny gymnasts leap, somersault and twist through the air. Their spirited acrobatics trigger both narrative and musical sequences that are mesmerizing and, at times, dizzying. Half-figurative and half-abstract, The Clockmakers is a playful creation that is sure to captivate and dazzle its audience.”

Sometimes we forget just how good we have it. With our iPhones, perpetual internet connection, comfortable homes, easy access to all food groups and more, it’s easy to take our good fortune for granted. Reflect on your blessings for a minute with the help of this collection of first world problem tweets that have been quite hilariously paired with stock photos of griefstricken individuals. I’m sure at least a few will sound familiar…

Assault Rifle Made from Suspended Black Ping Pong Balls

May 10th, 2013  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: art  •   Be the first to comment!

Damage is the title of Michael Murphy’s topical installation made from 1,200 suspended black ping pong balls. Viewed from multiple angles, it just looks like a random pattern of floating spheres, but when seen from the proper perspective it depicts a side view of an assault rifle. The physical arrangement of the project is meant to comment that perspective plays a large role in the matter.

Murphy states: “Guns are fetishized in the U.S. Many, many Americans love guns. I’m creating a giant gun. I just want people to keep talking about guns [and] why we should have guns. Communication is necessary because I don’t see any sort of solution being proposed.”

The installation is on display at AVA in Tennessee until June 29th.
