You, mister, should perhaps become an internet sensations bounty hunter! ;D How about this guy's art: Chris Jordan, photographer. Warning: The Running the Numbers, An American Self-Portrait page contains nudity and controversial images, not suitable for all. He does pictures to try to help visualize things and numbers that are often somehow too abstract for our minds to really portray, while drawing a sometimes shocking portrait of his society and more global phenomenons. It doesn't seem to be indicated where he took his numbers, so no real way to tell their accuracy offhand, but each of the projects has stunning pictures and a great motivation so I would recommend checking them all.  |

The sheep LED trick was pretty awesome, I hope the sheep had as much fun as the guys did ;D
The photographs of Chris Jordan were great as well! Amazing what you can do with garbage and numbers

Chris Jordan's art is interesting! Though how about a warning 'cos of the Abu Grahib pictures he used in 1 of his art pieces? And yes, his art is very thought-provoking in terms of environmentalism: though I do economise use of water, paper and many other things, I think I'm fairly guilty of waste 'cos my entire family uses the computers a lot everyday. |

You're right about the warning; I've added it, thanks.
We're probably all very guilty of overconsumption... I know I am too, so things like that are good eye-openers and reminders.

Patricia Piccinni creates some weird and creepy sculptures of animal/human hybrids and other stuff. Warning: some nudity (I guess?)

Woah, that's cool and somewhat disturbing stuff... The humanoid-apelike creatures are cute and ugly at the same time.
The site is a pain to browse through though, not very friendly navigation and it's a shame.

Olympus's The PEN Story, made for the release of their new PEN camera (and its 50th anniversary), is an amazing piece of work... I post the vid below, but the link leads to the YouTube page for it to be seen in higher resolution. |
