Bieber Falls into Black Hole
Yes, we would all like Justin Bieber to fall into a Black Hole, but someone has finally made that dream a reality. Well…they made his music fall into the singularity, anyway. Apparently if you take the annoying little munchkin’s “U Smile” and slow it down 800% (courtesy of Florida artist Shamantis) you get something akin to a Boards of Canada grand opus. Give it a listen, pretty crazy stuff. I’m not going to post the original for comparison because I’m not that evil.
Familiar Strangers
Japanese artist Yoskay Yamamoto fuses inspiration from his heritage and Japanese mythology with the pop iconography from his new Western home in his work. His art has been described as a nostalgic blend of urban pop art and traditional and mythical Japanese elements. Interestingly, Yamamoto comments on the process of discovery that help defines his voice. Speaking of his latest work, Familiar Strangers, he states ”I feel that I am always trying to fit in with others instead of finding or creating an environment that will naturally accept me as who I am. With the attempt and effort to fit in, I feel that we lose a sense of ourselves and become a familiar stranger within our own body.” The series is dedicated to a discovery of identity.
Book Art
Artists are visual people, not wordsmiths. So it was natural for Hawaii-based artist Jacqueline Rush Lee to create art out of discarded books. Shes bakes them in kilns, dyes them and intricately forms them to make sculptures with incredible texture.
