Notte Sento

Notte Sento (English subtitles) from napdan on Vimeo

Check this out. It's a film that was created using a still camera for all it's footage. The story is pretty cool too.

From Vimeo:
SYNOPSIS
A girl misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome until dawn. However, a chance encounter with a guy changes her plans and the night lights of the capital turn into the background to a tender love story. An extraordinary chemistry made of knowing glances and small gestures fills the few instants that separate them both from the sunrise.

Short film made with 4500+ still photographs. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera.

Intelligent Siftable Blocks

Siftables Music Sequencer from Jeevan Kalanithi on Vimeo

from nerdwithswag:
This intuitive concept could very well usher in the future of music production as we know it. Created by David Merrill (an MIT graduate student), his intentions are to utilize computerized tiles to initiate learning and allow us to “Interact with information and media in physical, natural ways that approach interactions with physical objects in our everyday lives.”

From Hypebeast:

Originally hinted at a few days ago, NIGO pops the top off of his latest and greatest toy, an iconic Mercedes Benz SL300 Gullwing with a transplanted AMG 6.0L V8 engine. Enthusiasts alike will probably already feel that the modernized powerplant is in itself sacrilegious but Nigo goes one-step further with the trademark Bape camo. The car is set to make a debut at tonight’s Bape Hong Kong 3 Year Anniversary Party.

Justine Lai "Join or Die"

Provocative, to say the least. Justine Lai, an artist out of San Francisco, CA painted a series depicting her having sex with each of the first 18 Presidents of the United States.

From her site:
"In Join Or Die, I paint myself having sex with the Presidents of the United States in chronological order. I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives. The presidency itself is a seemingly immortal and impenetrable institution; by inserting myself in its timeline, I attempt to locate something intimate and mortal. I use this intimacy to subvert authority, but it demands that I make myself vulnerable along with the Presidents. A power lies in rendering these patriarchal figures the possible object of shame, ridicule and desire, but it is a power that is constantly negotiated.

I approach the spectacle of sex and politics with a certain playfulness. It would be easy to let the images slide into territory that's strictly pornographic—the lurid and hardcore, the predictably "controversial." One could also imagine a series preoccupied with wearing its "Fuck the Man" symbolism on its sleeve. But I wish to move beyond these things and make something playful and tender and maybe a little ambiguous, but exuberantly so. This, I feel, is the most humanizing act I can do."

Clever way to make art or ruse to collect DNA and finger prints from the general public? THE ANSWER IS UP TO YOU!!!

For those of us that aren't conspiracy theorists, these make some pretty damn cool art pieces that are one of a kind (unless you're a clone). And they require no blood! You just place an order and send a cheek swab in the package they send you. After a couple weeks, voila! You're DNA all over the wall.
