I’ve had a Big Cartel shop for many years, but it has been seen by very few people and I’ve never had a sale there. In fact, it’s been on maintenance mode most of the time. However, I’ve recently been debating a switch from Etsy to another platform and Big Cartel is one that works for many artists

Over the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the white-hot center of a flurry of activity. The IoT may well be The Next Big Thing, but maybe the attention around sensors is misplaced… What if we didn’t even need embedded sensors to allow things to gather data about their surrounding environment? What if material could be a sensor in and of itself?

A strange reverse “human centipede” style playground sculpture. Many of the images in this nightmare-fueled post were taken in playgrounds around Russia, and they are about as bleak as a vodka shortage in Moscow in the middle of winter. The “peeing rainbow kids” of Kiev, Ukraine. Some of the other perplexing playground structures that you’ll see, such as a rock climbing “thing” that looks like a giant dick, and the reverse human centipede sculpture (pictured at the top of this post) were photographed in China, Tokyo and some European locations. Each of them has one thing in common: they appear to have been created by people who don’t like children at all. Of course there are plenty of demented looking clowns as well as depressed looking bears (because, Russia), and other odd animal-themed slides and such that are just too inexplicably odd for words. Unless those words consist of the triple-threat known as “WTF.” Tons of images of strange playground structures that appear to be begging to be put out of their misery, follow. If you need me, I’ll be under the bed. Moscow. Tokyo. ‘Goblin’ merry-go-round. Russia. ...

Hailing from fifteen countries, the individuals participating in Eyes as Big as Plates have backgrounds as varied as their surroundings: there are zoologists, academics, and librarians; fishermen, wild boar hunters, and Sami reindeer herders; and opera singers, kantele players, and artists. They’re tethered by the ongoing project, which dresses each figure in sculptural wearables made of organic materials that allow them to blend in with the surrounding landscape. Launched in 2011 by Norwegian-Finnish artist duo Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen (previously), Eyes as Big as Plates hinges on the idea that it’s essential to explore how humans exist within nature.

며칠 전 중국의 포크레인이라면서 소개된 사진입니다. 합성이 아닐까 할 정도로 기괴한 모습인데요. 실제 이런게 가능한가 봅니다. 포크레인 팔뚝힘이 대단하네요. 저런 행동을 하게 만드는 포크레인 기사는 누구일까 궁금할 정도 입니다. 하지만 이런 모습은 실제 공사현장에서도 만날 수 잇습니다. 절벽에 가까운 경사도를 올라가는 모습. 특수 포크레인인가요? 트랜스포머 같다는 느낌마져 듭니다. 위험스러워 보이기도 하는데 뒤에 있는 받침대가 딱 버티고 있습니다 생활의 달인에서 가끔 포크레인 끝에 칼을 달고 두부를 써는 모습을 봤지만 그 보다 더 달인 같은 모습입니다 안양천을 달리고 있었습니다. 자전거를 타고 달리는데 왼쪽에 이상한 풍경이 보입니다. 경사가 아주 급한데 거기에 포크레인이 올라가서 공사를 하고 있습니다. ..
