This is a video of the astronaut sculpture created by ex-physicist (once a physicist, always a physicist in my opinion) and artist Julian Voss-Andreae. It’s constructed of cross section slices of mirrors, and almost seems invisible when viewed directly head-on (or back-on), but appears more solid as you move around
These are several video examples of artist Damien Beneteau’s Spherical Variations, chrome and matte black balls on a pendulum that pass through a lit portal, producing some pretty trippy visuals in the process. And you know how I feel about trippy visuals! “They scare you.” They’re absolutely terrifying. Isn’t life
Inspired by Drogon from Game Of Thrones, this is a video of artist Kevin Stone discussing the 15,000 pound “life size” steel dragon statue he’s welding together. It also breathes fire, because what’s the point if it doesn’t? And while it might not be full grown Drogon size, he was
These are a couple videos of a raven named Odin (of course) at the Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, producing abstract paintings, using her beak to pick up and use a brush. Admittedly, I wouldn’t mind having an Odin original hanging in my home. “That was painted

Could you imagine if you were enjoying a pleasant beach day and a Strandbeest walked by? That would be wild. Even wilder if it tried to
This is a video of artist Howard Lee (previously seen making furniture disappear into their surroundings) making a tree disappear into the New York City Financial District’s skyline along the East River with a well executed perspective painting. Impressive! Now if he could do the same thing with all the
Because innovation is everywhere, this is a video of artist Bond Truluv using a spray paint can he modded to spray five parallel lines simultaneously. The resulting piece he creates is neat looking, although I can’t say with confidence I’d want it on the side of my home. Want to
These are several videos of illusionary artist Howard Lee painting different pieces of furniture to disappear into the background using the power of perspective. That’s neat. Of course the illusions work best from one very specific angle. From other angles it does not look so invisible. But is that going
