这个在flickr上的Then and Now摄影小组,开始它是专门寻找在旧照片上伦敦的街道,建筑等,再拍下目前原地的照片,把它们搭配起来,让人们领略这个城市角落的过去与现在,创意很不错,照片拍摄的也很细腻。现在小组还加入了许多来自Montreal和Chicago的照片。
用自己的视线回顾历史,有兴趣的朋友也不妨试试,感觉这种照片的纪念性应该很强。

FIRE BUG 这可不是firefox的插件啊,这是George Barris在70年代中期设计的消防车。
Built in the mid 70’s, designed by George Barris built by Dick Dean the Fire Bug went through a variety of skillful and imaginative customizing work. The front cowl was chopped down and a V windshield was installed, flanked by dual spotlights. The grille moved forward 4 inches utilizes a Continental radiator with one inch grille bars. An original Mack Truck bull emblem with two American Flags behind it sits atop the grille. After cutting down the front bumper and adding vertical bumper guards, the word “Mack” from Mack Truck was stamped in the center.

这是来自knudzich的微型洗手间幻想贴纸装置,目前出现在挪威卑尔根附近的挪威经济学院,除了Toilet Fantasies,还有 Bedroom Fantasies系列,比较有意思,是恶搞艺术,还出于一种变相的教育?
From the Wooster Collective:
Knudzich's tiny Toilet Fantasies installations have appeared on doors at the Norwegian School of Economics and around Bergen, Noway.

在阿富汗,有一混血的蒙古部族,自称是成吉思汗的后代,当地人称他们为哈之拉“Hazara”人。语言是接近于塔吉克语的一种波斯语,语言中包括了大量的蒙古语词汇,可以看出,这是突厥化的蒙古人。
在较为封闭的环境中,他们保持了原有的蒙古族特点。在山地环境中居住的村庄有土堡垒,(和陕西的窑洞很相似),是人们永久性居住的村庄,(Hazara)部落处于半游牧和农业状态。游牧特点仍然是夏季游牧包游牧,冬季住在永久性的村庄内,住圆顶的土房子。他们的畜群是绵羊、山羊和牛。嗜好也与原来的蒙古草原上的蒙古族一样,喜好喝茶。

艺术家Victoria Reynolds的这个肉类雕塑作品,完美地结合了印象与抽象。从布局它有一种神秘色彩,画中犹如布满了粉红肤色的机关,用白色的脂肪鲜艳的肌肉笼罩出鬼魅一样逼真的二维画幻想.
From the website:
Victoria Reynolds's clever, meticulously rendered paintings of uncooked meat go beyond the representational concerns of still life to address our refusal to acknowledge what we put in our mouths.
As the L.A.-based painter makes staggeringly evident, meat is raw organic matter, streaked with stringy sinew and mottled with roseate fat. Her close-up perspectives draw attention to both the grotesquerie of meat eating and the strangely beautiful textures of uncooked flesh. Painstakingly detailed, with impressive old-masterly technique, her slabs of loin and clusters of animal organs are seemingly found compositions and surrogate biomorphic abstractions.........
