This is a video of artist Todd Moyer Designs’ ‘Illoominated II’, a pun on loom and a projection mapped installation of projectors and lasers that appears to weave a colorful rug. There isn’t really a rug though, it’s all just A PROJECTION. Like our reality. I’ve seen The Matrix like
In actual plastic food news, this is a stop motion video of Youtuber Andrew of Hypno Motion preparing a LEGO double cheeseburger (that would be $18 at Five Guys), complete with bacon, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño and onion on a sesame seed bun. Yum! I mean except that it’s plastic. Plastic
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this horror movie and it gave me nightmares. This is a clip of artist and metalworker Ulysses (Oolie) Secrest sitting in the shower wearing a mask he made and setting it on fire. He says the metal frame of the mask took about 10 hours

Further proof there’s nothing you can’t build with LEGO, this is a video of Youtuber Banana Gear Studios constructing and demonstrating a small omnidirectional treadmill. It’s crazy the way the pieces just seem to float around the rotating spindle floor. How people come up with stuff like this is beyond
