The Urban Cave is the powerful documentation of homeless men and women in West Harlem by Andrea Star Reese. Formerly a filmmaker, Reese began this project when she enrolled in the photojournalism documentary photo program at ICP. One of her assignments was to capture “New York Underground”, which consequently led her to a train tunnel nicknamed the Batcave. There she discovered a complex community of people; Chuck, Lisa, Krissy, Snow White and Country, that operated much like a family. Reese was allowed to witness their stories as a mutual trust was formed.

5 Wacky Condoms Considered For The Gates ‘Next Generation Condom’
05 apr 2013 14:25
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced this week that they will award a $100,000 grant to anyone who can create the “next generation condom.” When used correctly male condoms are effective, inexpensive, and easy to use. Unfortunately, they still have a stigma associated with them, mainly that they reduce sensitivity, and thus sexual pleasure. To combat this stigma, the Gates Initiative is asking participants to create a new condom which preserves or even enhances sexual pleasure, in order to encourage more people around the world to use them regularly. This is good news for everyone! Over the years many efforts have been made to improve the condom; below are a few of the wackier attempts that have been made, which we’re pretty sure the Gates Foundation will not be considering.

4 Craziest Strip Club Moments in History
05 apr 2013 14:13
What we know as the modern day strip club really started to gain popularity at the end of World War II, and ever since then the combination of booze and strippers has sort of become synonymous with post-Babylonian culture; a sexual haven for the common man who’s looking for cheap thrills, a dollar at a time. The reputation strip clubs have earned is due in part to their tendency toward controversy; they are often the target of litigation, a haven for organized crime and a plethora of other scandal. Drama breeds rapidly in whiskey conditions, and spawns both heretics and lunatics under strobe lights. Don’t get us wrong, this is great; it provides us with a steady stream of seedy, bizzaro folklore. Here are 4 of the craziest strip bar stories we’ve heard:

12 Popular Websites & Apps Brilliantly Redesigned
05 apr 2013 13:07
One of the cornerstones of graphic design and UX (user experience) is the ability to constantly evolve, de-clutter and streamline a design. There are exceptions likes Craigslist / FARk that will always remain the same for the sheer novelty and retro factor, but by and large brands, logos and websites get reimagined and reinvented constantly. It doesn’t always goes to plan (remember what happened to Digg?) but most brands get it right. We all know the biggest website in the world, Facebook, continuously changes its features, design and layout. As our needs, requirements, perceptions and expectations shift, brands have to adapt. Today we thought we’d show you 12 popular websites and apps that have been utterly reworked, tweaked and reimagined by 12 individual, masterful and visionary designers. We should note that sadly these are only concepts, but personally, we wish a few of them would actually get commissioned and turned into reality. Do let us know which ones impressed you the most, for us they are all a major improvement on their real-life counterparts.

Astonishing Images Let You Follow The Footsteps Of History
05 apr 2013 13:03
Here’s a fascinating project we found, which was first released back in 2004. It was designed to promote and compel individuals to subscribe to the History Channel on cable television. The tagline for the campaign was “Know Where You Stand” and it was up to travel photographer Seth Taras to bring that concept to life. He did so, quite spectacularly we think. He traveled to famous historical landmarks around the world, photographing them in the present day and then superimposing the original photos shot in the same location all those years ago. He visited the Berlin Wall, the beaches of Normandy, retraced Hitlers steps and even went to the field where the fateful Hindenberg disaster occurred back in 1937. The past merging with the present as it were.

In southern Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, between the Atlantic in the west and the Mediterranean in the east, lies some of the prettiest towns in Spain - perfectly whitewashed with red and brown tiled roofs, narrow, winding, cobblestone streets, and ornate churches atop cliffs and river gorges, and all offering rolling views of the hills below.

Model of a Virginia Dining Room, c. 1800
05 apr 2013 10:47

In a special wing at the Art Institute of Chicago, and in the Phoenix Art Museum, are several exhibits of incredibly detailed miniature rooms. Painstakingly constructed on a scale of one inch to one foot, these rooms faithfully depict the architecture and interior design of actual rooms found in the United States, Asia and Europe during the late 13th century to the early 20th century. The rooms were conceived, designed, and in large part created by Narcissa Niblack Thorne (1882-1966). An Indiana native, Thorne began to collect miniature furniture and household accessories during her travels to Europe and the Far East. Impressed with the period rooms she encountered in major museums, beginning in 1930, Thorne began commissioning master craftsmen and artisans to build interiors to hold her growing collection of miniature objects. Many of the rooms even contain period-style rugs Thorne had woven specifically for each space.
