This is a video of fun/speed lover Robert ‘Crazy Rocketman’ Maddox taking The Beast out for a spin at full throttle, hitting speeds over 60MPH in the jet-powered go-kart, all with a shit-eating grin on his face. My God does that look like a good time. Plus there are no
This is a video of the train station (modeled after the Etchū-Daimon Station in Toyama, Japan) created by 3D environment artist Lorenzo Drago at ArtStation using Unreal Engine 5, which allows creators to scan real-world objects and turn them into assets, unrestricted by polygon count.

I’m sure by now you’re all familiar with Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests, right? Giant kinetic moving sculptures that convert wind energy into movement, usually in the form of tens of walking legs? Well now Theo has introduced Strandbeest Evolution 2021, a new line of beests, some of which can take to
Because I’m not really sure why, but there’s definitely no excuse for it, this is a video of ‘The Prayer’, a robotic mouth developed by conceptual scientist Diemut Strebe at MIT’s Center for Art, Science & Technology that endlessly sings AI-generated prayers. It was developed “to explore the possibilities of
