15 Funny, Witty, Sad GMO Cartoons

There's something to be said for saying it with sketch. In honor of No-To-GMO Month (October), here are fourteen politically poignant cartoons about Genetically Modified Organisms and the hands that spin the wheel. 



This one's just plain sad.

Back Off Weirdo Glow Stick Dancers, There're Cooler Kids Of The Night

Check out more amazing photographs from this and other projects on the FTL website

Neon Luminescence

Illuminating waterfalls across Northern California with thousands of Cyalume glow sticks cascading like neon rainbows through the darkness into the pools below, Neon Luminescence, the new artistic endeavor by the boys at From The Lenz, aims to displace reality--or, at least, viewers' surety of real.

Anamorphic Art: The Art of Arrangement

I honestly feel there is nothing cooler, more beautiful or inspiring, and certainly more difficult, than art. Incidentally, there are many forms of art--much of which defies beauty; much more defies modern conceptions of "art." (Which is good; it breaks down current conception, opening the door to new modern conceptions). 

The Mona Lisa is considered art by everybody and is revered by everybody, most often because everybody has grown up able to identify The Mona Lisa, and told to revere it, without actually revering it, and often less impressed by its petite size. Conversely, the apartment building across the street may appear as art to few, and revered as art by few--indeed, perhaps only revered by a handful of tenants, impressive only to an architect. Two different examples of art, and the conceptual differences surrounding them. But, periodically, a piece emerges that only most convulsive contradictors could deny as art, and not revere or be impressed by as art.

Text-Free Internet Browsing

A Less-Than-Better Way To Browse

(but still worth its weight in art)


Imagine reading a book with no words, yet gathering from it an entire story. It would literally be a tale of nothing; unless it was a picture book; but that's regardless of what I'm trying to say.



What I'm trying to say is that last week I brought you a post about lookingatsomething, the briefly amusing weather website-artpiece from 33-year-old Dutch-Brazilian creator/designer/artist Rafaël Rozendaal. This go round, it's a little more interesting than rain makin'.

The Best Weather Website

A Digital Artist's Interactive Art(ish)


Look at something.

Okay.

Well, more specifically, look at this: www.lookingatsomething.com. It's the best weather website out there on the internet, simply because you can control it; the website and the weather. Well, you can make it rain, anyway.

It's the most recent project from visual artist, Rafëal Rozendall
