Powerful Written Portraits of Congolese Victims of War
12 feb 2013 09:00
For photojournalist Sarah Fretwell, photography is an outlet that goes beyond art—it is a medium through which the world is given insight into the lives of people who would otherwise never be heard. For her powerful The Truth Told Project, the photographer has ventured out to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for 50 days to capture portraits and statements from young girls and women who have suffered unimaginable sexual violence as innocent victims of war.

Flexible Paper Sculptures by Li Hongbo
12 feb 2013 08:56
Li Hongbo’s artwork may look like porcelain or gypsum sculptures at first, but that’s only until he demonstrates how flexible they are. Beijing based artist, book designer and editor creates these busts and sculptures out of thousands of layers of glued thin paper. Hongbo builds the honeycomb-like structures by strategically placing the glue on each sheet of paper, and then gives the desired shape to it.

9 Years on Mars
12 feb 2013 07:45
NASA's Mars rover Opportunity just celebrated its ninth anniversary on Mars - a mission that was originally meant to last just 90 days. Although recently eclipsed in the news by its bigger brother Curiosity, Opportunity is still going strong and making valuable scientific discoveries. Launched into space in 2003, Opportunity bounced to a hole-in-one landing in a small crater on Mars' Meridiani Planum on January 25, 2004. It has since spent 3,212 Martian days, or sols, on the surface, slowly moving from target to target, exploring craters, meteorites, unusual rock formations, and finding evidence of past water activity. Over the past 108 months, Opportunity has driven a total of 35.48 kilometers (22.05 miles) across Mars -- not bad for a mission designed to last only three months.

Chinese Lunar New Year 2013
12 feb 2013 07:32

Yesterday marked the start of the Chinese Lunar New Year 2013, the Year of the Snake. One of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, the snake signifies cleverness and tenacity and is associated with the element of fire. In the larger Chinese astrological cycle, this year is also associated with the element of water, which makes 2013 the Year of the Water Snake. The combination of the water and fire elements may signify turmoil in the months ahead. But people around the world ushered in the new year with displays of fireworks, family get-togethers, temple visits, and street festivals. Collected here are images from several countries where revelers have been welcoming the arrival of the Water Snake.

Commander Chris Hadfield's incredible pictures from space
12 feb 2013 07:29
A snap-happy astronaut captured this incredible shot of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge from his perch hundreds of miles above the earth on board the International Space Station. Commander Chris Hadfield, 53, has posted hundreds of breathtaking images on his Twitter account since joining the crew as part of Expedition 34 just a few weeks ago. As well as San Francisco's famous landmark, Commander Hadfield - who has described the shifting view of the earth from windows of the space station as 'a perpetual magnet' - has snapped the bright lights of Manhattan at night, the 'endless' golden beaches of Australia, a vivid blue river snaking through Brazilian farmland, and 'cauliflower' clouds sitting over the Amazon rainforest.

For Switzerland's high living standards this place was a true marvel, a wonder from another dimension, so the place is booked for months ahead.

Simply Beautiful Floral Skulls Stitched From Leather
11 feb 2013 11:09
Jacky Tasi is already a house-hold name in the UK, best know for designing the timeless floral skull pattern for fashion icon Alexander McQueen. But he’s not rested on his laurels, he’s kept creating, adapting and formulating new ideas around the concept itself. His latest project sees him slicing flower petals out of leather and stitching them together to create these quite magnificent floral skull sculptures. The biggest of all stands an impressive 5ft tall and took 300 days (and countless long nights) to piece together – requiring the work and patience of 15 needlesmiths. But we think the end result utterly justifies the amount of time and work his team put in, they are astounding pieces of work. He’s also created an expanded series titled Floral Skullptures whereby each skull is custom designed with a unique colour pattern and theme, we’ve decided to feature a few of those below as well.

The Inventive Case Of The Disappearing Package
11 feb 2013 11:08
Here’s an alarming statistic. The EPA (Environment Protection Agency) has revealed that we throw away an eye-watering 70,000,000 tonnes of packaging each year and in fact the numbers keep rising year on year. Do you really need a pair of headphones vacumn-sealed in more plastic or an entire box with fold out wings to house a small USB key? Probably not. But it’s not down to the consumer to reduce waste, they’re just buying the product – it’s down to the designers, the creators of that packaging to start thinking smarter to help reduce that 70 million tonnes of landfill. Graphic designer Aaron Mickelson was asked a simple yet poingnat question “Can we eliminate that waste entirely? “ He took that concept applying the functions of packaging to the product itself, we can create a package that has completely disappeared by the time you’re done using the product.

Elegant Animal Sculptures Made From Broken Glass
11 feb 2013 11:02
You’ve rarely seen animals so elegantly recreated as those by Polish sculptor Marta Klonowska. From across the room, her creations look like little furry transparent animals, but upon closer inspection you’ll see that they are painstakingly created from individual shards of broken glass. She creates the outline of the animal using dense metal frames covered in wire mesh, it’s into this mesh that she then slots and places each individual shard of glass. The net effect is a magnificent combination of beauty, poise and finesse – themes which run through all her work.

Infinite Building blocks!
11 feb 2013 10:58
After a successful launch last year on Kickstarter, the "drinking straw construction game," Linx, is finally available for purchase. The minimalistic and sustainably-made connectors consist of flat four-sided stars that fit into the ends of standard drinking straws, allowing gamers to build infinite plastic structures. The easily manipulated Linx connector points can be bent in all directions, allowing the user—regardless of age or tactile skill level—to make both geometric shapes and free-form patterns. From airy constructions the size of an entire room to small desktop sculptures, the possibilities are endless, and the stars are as lightweight and harmless as the straws themselves. Made out of 100% post-consumer plastic, Linx are shipped in flat, modular grids, making it almost an entirely zero-waste form of entertainment.

Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge, Japan
11 feb 2013 10:41
How do you build a bridge on a mountainside when the grade is so steep that a linear ramp isn’t possible? Build a loop, and if one is not enough, build two. This is what engineers did when the built the Kawazu-Nanadaru Loop Bridge, also known as the Japanese Double loop spiral, in Kawazu, Japan. This double spiral brings cars up and down a full 45 meters while being seemingly suspended in a valley between two mountainsides. The spirals measure 80m in diameter and the whole ramp section is 1.1km long. The bridge on Highway 414 between Tokyo and the Izu peninsular was finished in 1982 and has become a well known landmark since.
