Hopefully it will provoke some necessity to learn to......read more
As any non-skater attempting to ollie can attest, skateboarding is hard. There's nothing remotely natural about operating a mobile plank with your feet. This two-minute video from Adam Shomsky shows just how truly insane skateboarding really is. Shot with a Redlake N3 high-speed camera at 1,000 frames per second, Shomsky captures skaters throwing down rare flat ground tricks in suuuuuuper......read more
Brooke Baxter and Rolyn Hu are Brooklyn's cultural impresarios. The duo own and operate both Glasslands Gallery and the Manhattan Inn, two of the borough's meccas for music, art and food. They're also way into sustainability. Both spaces are built from salvaged materials and include loads of interesting nuances, such as repurposed doorknobs as tap handles, and school desks as......read more
If you want to feel the experience of base jumping without actually launching yourself off a 6,000 foot cliff, this vid's for you. Coming a few months after the similarly-themed Experience Human Flight, Aussie creative studio Betty Wants In delivers Experience Zero Gravity, which captures the basejumping exploits of some thrillseeking (read: batshit crazy) dudes in Norway, Switzerland and......read more
Wind power may be clean, green, and renewable, but it doesn't come without it's problems. Turbines are noisy as hell and they pose serious risks to flying wildlife and sensitive shoreline habitats. So Cornell University engineers have responded with a brainy new way of drawing electricity from moving air. The prototype technology, called Vibro-Wind, involves oscillating wind pads that......read more
Here's the latest video for Belgian twosome Hermanos Inglesos, for their new single "Wanderland." The fun and fantastical animation was created by the band's compadres Kristof Luyckx and Michele Vanparys. Tight and trippy and there's a nod to nature that made it SHFTy enough for us to put up. The cat shitting pool balls is a high spot. Basically, we just like it....read more
This hypnotizing short from German student Misha Shyukin, which he humbly describes as "my graduation short-art-movie-video-thingy," is a sight to behold. Despite being digitally fabricated, the vast and open landscapes in the film have a totally natural feel, looking like they were shot on a helicopter-mounted camera. Misha requests that viewers watch the video with eyes half closed,......read more
Well, summer's right around the corner. That's great and all, but for those of us that live in the city (i.e. pretty much everyone), summer means heat bouncing off concrete and sweat dripping down our backs. Apart from synthetically cooled buildings and the occasional promise of a cool evening, there's only one real respite from the daily grind: getting the hell out of the city. This animated......read more
There comes a time when we all grow tired of wasting time at work by reading blogs and barely smirking at "I Can Has Cheezburger" pics -- a time when only pure mindless visual joy will suffice. That time is now, good friends. Immerse yourself in "Vanishing Point," an expressionistic piece of 3D abstraction from Takuya Hosogane. The animated clip, made with next-gen software like After Effects,......read more
Berlin-based motion designer Lena Steinkühler pays homage to New York City in this weird video piece that depicts the metropole's infrastructure as living, breathing organisms. In New York Biotopes, Steinkühler envisions the urban environment occupied by "abstract plants and creatures, which change their forms because of insufficient living space and adapt themselves to the surroundings......read more
