Metal Wires Growing From Human Body.
2008-08-21 19:12:00
Metal Wires Growing From Human Body .In the past we have seen some Unique People but here is one person who is more different than anyone we came across. Her name is Noorsyaidah. A 40 years old kindergarten teacher from Sangatta, East Kutai. It started in 1991 when metal wires grew out of her chest and her stomach. Metal wires about 10-20 cm long. During the first week, they kept falling off and were gone, but a month later, they grew back again and from then on the wires never fell. They kept on growing. Its now 17 years and still she found no solution. Initial professional consultations revealed that the wires are also inside her body. There are more than 40 metal wires inside her and some of them are pushing out of her skin. They look like a living phenomenon. The wires are able, mobile and can change location at will. What would you think this could be?Watch the "Metal Wires Growing From Human Body" Video on YoutubeOther Posts:Bubble Gum Walls.Upside Down Houses.Creativity With...

Lilypad - A Floating Ecopolis.
2008-08-20 18:15:00
Lilypad - A Floating Ecopolis.The planet is warming, ice caps are melting, and water levels are rising and the international scientific community predicts that a temperature elevation of 1°C will lead to a water rise of 1 meter, resulting in massive land reduction and more than 50 million people will be affected by this change; imagine what would happen when it goes to 2 meters. Vincent Callebaut, a visionary Belgian architect has come up with his proposal 'Lilypad, A Floating Ecopolis' as a solution. Lilypad, a prototype of auto-sufficient amphibious city is a true amphibian - half aquatic and half terrestrial city. It will be able to accommodate 50,000 inhabitants. The floating structure of the Ecopolis is directly inspired by the highly ribbed leaf of the great lilypad of Amazonia Victoria Regia. The goal is to create a harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, exploring new modes of crosscultural aquatic living. Source: 1, 2, 3, 4.Other Posts:Glass Floor.Face Painting.Toot...

Dripping Logos ' By Zevs. Here are a few of the artwork of Logos series by Zevs which were shown at the exhibition held at the Lazarides Gallery in London. This was his work with famous logos, plexiglass boards and his trademark paint. A beautiful illusion created by the dripping paint from the logos giving it an appearance of dissolving. This is the work of the same person who in the early '90s was known for spraying the abandoned railway tracks, and the streets of Paris with a can and later was one among the prominent figures who pioneered the French street art scene.Logo Chanel.(Image credit: mocoloco).'Apple' and 'Coca Cola'.(Image credit: kaboodle).MC Donald logo.Louis Vuitton? elegantly dripping.

Crop Circle: Pizza In The Wheat Fields.
2008-08-19 17:13:00
Crop Circle : Pizza In The Wheat Fields. If you recollect, we have seen these field art designs in the past which were quite interesting. And here we have promotional field art design by pizza maker Papa John's to promote its whole-wheat crust pizza made from Colorado-milled grain in the wheat fields near Denver International Airport runways. Artist Stan Herd (with over 20 years of experience in "crop art") was the choice of the company to create this promotional field art design. Stan came up with a pizza- based design on 6 acres near Denver International Airport 's east and west runways and the choice of location was apt, with planes coming in on two strips over it. Passengers flying in and out of Denver International Airport will be greeted by this 'crop design' promoting the new whole-wheat crust pizza and this design will remain visible until the first snowfall, which would include the week of the Democratic National Convention.

Maho Beach And Its Low Flying Planes.
2008-08-18 18:18:00
Maho Beach And Its Low Flying Planes.Maho Beach is known worldwide because of Princess Juliana International Airport that is situated adjacent to the beach. The Princess Juliana airport (the second busiest airport in the Eastern Caribbean) has a short runway - at only 2,180 meters which barely long enough for heavy jets to land. And hence the incoming airplanes approach the island on short final for Runway 09 and have to fly extremely low, resulting in very low altitudes on their final approach over the beach and passing only 10-20 meters (30-60 ft.) over relaxing tourists on the Maho Beach. And the low flying airplanes include large passenger airliners such as the Boeing 747, which in turn made the location very popular with plane spotters. And a matter of fact, when an airplane takes off from the runway 09, people standing on the beach can feel the pressure created by the jet and even can observe it on the water. It is one of the few places in the world as of 2008 where one can v...

Wilkinson Residence.
2008-08-18 18:15:00
Wilkinson Residence. Architect Robert Harvey Oshatz came up with this design keeping in view the requirements of the client: the client wanted a house that not only became a part of the natural landscape but also addressed the flow of music. The Wilkinson Residence is located in Portland, Oregon. Douglas fir beams are used as expressed structural elements within the home. The design uses a natural wood ceiling that floats on curving laminated wood beams and pass through glass walls which wraps around the main living room. Private spaces such as bedrooms and bathrooms are located downstairs while the upper floor of the home accommodates the more public functions of the home.'The steep slope of the site provided an opportunity to bring the building out into the forest canopy. Entry to the house is made through a small courtyard after walking down a steep driveway. The floor then continues out over the slope as the ground rapidly drops away. By the time the cantilevered deck reaches o...

Flower Carpet.

Flower Carpet .Grand-Place considered one of Europe's most beautiful squares, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, the area larger than a football field, surrounded by ornate 17th-century buildings is carpeted every two years and the carpet is a floral carpet made entirely of fresh flowers. It's a major event for locals and tourists alike. The event only lasts for three days and this year's floral creation will be on show from Aug. 15-17, with workers arranging it on Aug. 14. According to the organizers, this year's design is "inspired from a real carpet from the 18th century made by the French factories la Savonnerie", a design which is expected to require a million begonias to complete and about 1000 people to create this impressive display of floral art.

Blanket Covered Gas Station.

Blanket Covered Gas Station .The aspiring artist Jennifer Marsh (who is finishing her masters of fine arts degree at Syracuse University) along with an inspired activist came up with an idea that in a way would bring greater attention to the world's dependency on oil. To conclude the task, they had a perfect candidate. She would see on the drive to her studio each day: this old gas station, which was covered in 5,000 square feet of fabric (colossal handmade blanket).'With the help of professional and amateur artists from 15 countries and more than 2,500 grade-school students in 29 states, Marsh covered the 50-year-old former Citgo station -- pumps, light stands, signs and all -- with more than 3,000 fiber panels that are crocheted, knitted, quilted or stitched together.'Watch the "Blanket Covered Gas Station" Video on YoutubeOther Posts:Amazing Hand Art.Nature's Ice Show.Artistic Water Tanks.Creative Business Cards.Women In Armed Forces.

Extra-Wide Contact Lenses.

Extra-Wide Contact Lenses .It's really hard for anyone not to notice the big-eyed girls in Japanese comics, cartoon videos or anime art. They look cute and those eyes add a touch of innocence to their faces. As physically it isn't possible to make actual human eyes larger, but there seems to be an interesting development to get that effect: extra-wide contact lenses.Now girls can get the anime look with these extra-wide contact lenses. These aren't the regular contacts, these are tinted prominently in the extra-wide outer ring and the result is the appearance of a wider and bigger iris. Set of these can cost about $35-$50 per pair and are made by a variety of companies like Geo and Dueba. Just one other thing, these are custom made and aren't just cosmetic and can last up to an year if proper care is taken.
