In a piece of art certainly not imitating my life, this is a worthwhile video of French artist and dancer Yoann Bourgeois repeatedly falling off a set of stairs and bouncing right back up again. The whole performance is incredibly well orchestrated with such fluidity. And how towards the he
This is a video of godly gourd carver and 2-time Halloween Wars winner James Hall discussing and demonstrating the techniques (and tools) involved with 13 increasingly difficult levels of pumpkin carving. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly, that there’s no f***ing way I’m letting James compete in my
Inspired by several pieces of ‘transparent’ graffiti art that have gone viral on the internets, this is a video of Slovakian street artist DOKE attempting to paint a wall that appears to have his name cut out, allowing the background to be seen through it. He does a great job,
Art: it’s everywhere. Except at my friend’s recent gallery show. I’m not sure what that was, but it wasn’t art. This is a video of musician and artist Yohei Kisanuki creating some trippy zoetropic art using a whiteboard and marker atop a spinning potter’s wheel. It was fun to watch.

Pretty clever. Granted it’s not the most convincing water I’ve ever seen, but we are talking about LEGO here — they’re
This is a video of actor Therese Plummer performing an absolutely award-worthy 1-star Yelp review for Dunkin’ Donuts. She’s good, she’s REALLY good. That bagel the customer got did sound pretty lame though, nobody wants hardly any cream cheese that appears to have been spread with a finger. Well, maybe
This is a video of Studio Drift’s 1,000 drone light show performing at Burning Man. The drones make a bunch of different moving geometric shapes before ending the show with a giant human face. Trippy. I can only imagine what I would have thought if I’d actually been tripping, but
