Colorful Examples of Yarn Bombing (29 photo + 1 video)

01 mar 2013 07:30

Nowadays knitting can hardly be called a grandma’s hobby. Since 2004, it’s been developing into a new street art phenomenon – yarn bombing (or yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, graffiti knitting and even grandma graffiti). It employs colorful knitted and crocheted yarn or fiber on different displays, such as hydrants, lampposts, mailboxes, bicycles, cars or any other ordinary urban objects. Though these yarn bombs (or yarnstorms) may last for years, they are considered non-permanent and technically illegal.

Oakland-based artist Chris Fraser has created an impressive set of sight-specific installations that all consist of sharp cracks of light. He strategically creates holes or slits in walls, coaxing light into various formations. His works are often interactive, providing the viewer with a memorable and unique experience. In the Make has a great interview with Fraser where he describes his creative process and what he hopes to accomplish as an artist. "I would like my work to point back into the world. I spend a lot of time crafting specific situations, framing light in such a way that it reveals a portion of the complex order within the ambient environment. But there is nothing particularly special about the light that enters these works. Echoes of this same order can be found in your home, entering your windows, skirting around furniture, slipping through a crack in the door. I want to call attention to a type of beauty that usually goes unnoticed."

Concrete Charm in the Rain by Christophe Jacrot (27 photo)

01 mar 2013 06:44

Photographer Christophe Jacrot says “there are two ways of capturing the world for a photographer; on the one hand grasping its horror, and on the other sublimating it.” Christophe chooses the second option and takes pictures in rainy, snowy or otherwise bad weather as it “awakens a feeling of romantic fiction“, reserving the glimpse of the world through the photo-camera’s lens in an imposing and noble way. Capturing cities in rain might unveil a whole new urban perspective to most of us, as generally we try to hurry and hide away from it, without paying much attention to what the world looks like in bad weather. “This universe escapes most of us, since we are too occupied getting undercover. Man becomes a ghostly silhouette wandering and obeying the hazards of rain or of snow, into the eternity of the climate,” – says Christophe. Christophe Jacrot’s artistic target is mostly various cities. And the background or the surrounding aura, so to say, is always the same – nature’s elements in action. The photographer has traveled the world to unveil the beauty of the biggest concrete cities, such as New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong,Paris, etc. Here you can admire the assorted pictures from Jacrot’s portfolio in the rain.

Japanese painter Hiroshi Senju makes large scale paintings of waterfalls using interesting materials and an age old technique. His method involves creating paints by grinding mineral pigments from natural materials like stone, shell and corals into powder, binding them with animal-hide glue, and then, with extreme delicacy, pouring this paint onto Japanese mulberry paper. This approach takes from the thousand-year-old Nihonga style of painting, which emphasizes natural materials.

New York-based fashion photographer Torkil Gudnason is known for his ability to blur the line between fashion and art. He believes that editorial work "is a process of attrition: if the image outlives its commercial purpose (and what is fashion if not fleeting) then all that is left, for better or worse, is the art." Along with his extensive fashion portfolio, the talented photographer also explores personal projects as an outlet from his many commercial assignments.

People Get Pissed Off When There's Just Too Much French Fries (4 photo)

A very large order of french fries in Korea has caused anger on the internet as well as the McDonald's restaurant where the incident has occured. These kids were either very hungry or simply looking to cause some chaos, and ordered $250 worth of french fries. They soon got kicked out of the restaurant by one of the fed-up workers who told them: "Stop causing trouble, you brats! Get out of here!"

Whatever happened to treating your customer with respect and 'the customer is always right' attitude?. Guess everyone has a limit, and even the internet seemed to support the restaurant in this regard: "I'd cry if this happened in my local store." and "Report this to McDonald's headquarters! Upload those kids' pictures online!" and "Those kids seriously need to leave. How annoying!"

Perhaps there was a deeper purpose to the kids' actions besides simply irritating McDonald's workers and the public. McDonald's french fries has been very low in price, a large-size order costs only $1.63. Although unlikely, perhaps these incidents might trigger McDonalds to raise the price of their fries, thus making it less affordable and lowering its demand. Considering how unhealthy this fast-food snack is, it might not be a negative thing to support making it less affordable to the general public.
