This Exists

Portland-based inventor Chris Hoffmann created it on a whim. Four years after getting the idea for a one-wheeled electric bike, he started building it just to get it out of his head. He figured he'd stop if he hit a roadblock. But he didn't. Check out the story here. —Lonnie

The MTA as a string instrument

Conductor: www.mta.me from Alexander Chen on Vimeo.

"Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA's actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli's 1972 diagram."

Awesome idea, also incredibly important to use Vignelli's version to ensure direct contact. There's also a live feed at the MTA.me website.

six flags new orleans, defunct amusement park

This is a series of images of Six Flags New Orleans.

Located in the Ninth Ward, the park closed down in 2005 on the eve of Hurricane Katrina. Today, the sign outside of the Six still reads, "CL SED FOR STORM." The park is too expensive to rebuild and too expensive to abandon, so it sits and waits for decay to claim it.

The Creative Space

This website is quickly becoming a favorite of mine, it shows the creative in their natural environment; and the pictures are shot beautifully. I dream of what my studio will look like in the future when I live in a loft in SoHo...

Jeff Wall & Fabricating Photography.

Below is the piece "After 'Invisible Man'" which is based on a scene written about in a novel when a man falls into a hidden room and experiences what it is like to live without light. Jeff Wall pain-stakingly creates these scenes from the ground up, then photographs them and displays them backlit. All his work is amazing, but this particular piece is my favorite because the scene tells such an unmistakeable story.
