Because I was just thinking the real world should be more like the music video for A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’, these are a handful of videos from California artist Joshua Vides, who wraps vehicles and paints them to look like they’re pen and ink drawings reminiscent of pop-art comics. The

These are a couple videos from Hormuz Island off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf, where heavy rainfall causes the iron ochre-rich soil and sand (the result of ancient volcanic activity) to ‘bleed’ into the sea. Mother Nature, am I right? “What about her?” Totally nuts. Now —

Because percussion makes everything better (besides a headache), this is a video of musician Joe Porter (previously) performing the iconic guitar lick from Weezer’s ‘Buddy Holly’ on 31 unusual instruments. “In a row?” IN A ROW. It was a fun watch. Personally, I’m only master of one instrument: my voice.

Because I’m fascinated with skeletons (we all have one) this is ‘Shredding Light’, a stop-motion light painting video created by artist Darren Pearson (aka DariusTwin, previous work seen here) of skeletons riding skateboards.

Because the oceans are probably the best thing that ever happened to earth (humanity ranks dead last), this is a beautiful visualization of the earth’s ocean currents according to NASA’s ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) model, developed using data from spacecraft, buoys, and other measurements.

This is a timelapse of a 3D printer platform built by Youtuber multipoleguy that adds an additional two axes (not golden though) to a typical 3-axis printer’s movement, allowing prints “with up to a 70º overhang in all directions, reducing the need for support structures.” That’s something. Something perfect for

This is a video of Fingerbirgit, an automaton built by Hknssn, who describes himself as “creator, inventor and slightly insane.” I trust him. The automaton is powered via hand crank or lowering weight, and uses 1,170 pieces to delicately spin a globe in its five talons while the fingers take

This is a video of Justin Flom (previously: creating a carry-your-own-head Halloween costume for his daughter) using some water and freezing cold temperatures to make a roll of toilet paper stand on its own, supported only by its unrolled sheets. That’s something. Something he and his wife think is the
