Basically, things that I find inspiring as well as references and all that sort. Content warning for (fictional, artistic) gore and (artistic, real life) nudity.
There was always something eerie about VHS, wasn’t there. The distortions and horizontal bands, which came and went, were basically horror effects (THE RING would never work with a cursed Blu-ray). Faces would suddenly fall apart and quickly heal again, texts seemed threatening, like they were brimming with anger. It often made you feel you had accidentally tuned into the secret signal of some subversive world.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of DVDs.
Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.
while the stuff in the foreground is dust/ice on the surface of the comet itself, the background is actually stars. i saw a stabilized video where you can really make it out, and it blew my mind.
here’s the stabilized clip, if anyone’s interested
Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??
Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!
(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)
It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.
A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end
Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!
Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.
Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)
Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…
When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes
Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.
But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life
The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing

figurative sculptures evoke movement and intrigue, whether it’s the
artist’s feminine, graceful figures or her otherworldly creatures. The
China-born, Belgium-based artist has received several high honors,
including commissions for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. A statement
talks about the varied influences of the sculptor.
“In Belgium she remains true to her principles,” Art Center HOres
says. “She continues with her work and concentrates on the techniques of
the sculptors of Europe from the Renaissance, Baroque and other
periods. Her sculptures dazzle the viewer with their beauty,
craftsmanship and above all femininity.”
The artist is a graduate of the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts.
“Unappropriated Beauty“ is a poster ad campaign tackling the issue of cultural appropriation in a non-accusatory, educational way. These adverts are size-compatible to fit in different settings, including bus shelters, billboards, mobile devices, and magazines. The goal of this project is to educate the consumers of appropriative media so that they are better equipped to decide for themselves what is and what is not cultural appropriation, and therefore lowering the tolerance for appropriation being applauded in the media.
