Note: Keep your volume in check. This is a video demonstration of Mew, an electronic theremin-like instrument created by Emily Groves that purrs when a person approaches it, and meows and growls as they touch or pet it. So…it’s basically a pet cat that doesn’t require a litter box. Of
This is ‘Lost In Motions,’ a fun stop motion video created by Argentinian filmmaker Fernando Livschitz using 800 individually laser-cut dancer silhouettes.

This is a video from the folks at Youtube channel TITANS of CNC: Academy of a single massive block of metal being machined into a 500-pound chessboard. That…damn, that’s going to be tough to flip when I lose.
