In these videos Japanese artist/programmer Daito Manabe experiments with sound triggered electric stimulus. While we’re not sure how safe this is, it’s awesome to watch. Maybe there’s hope for the most uncoordinated of us to finally pop lock. Sign us up.
Some amazing work from Colombian photographer Basilio Silva. He is currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he has created ESTUDIOMOD, together with the Fashion Stylist and Producer Josefina Pérez Larsen and Art Director Gaston Cardozo.
Silva began his career as a documentary photographer and later entered the world of fashion photography and advertising. We’d say he made the right call. More beautiful images after the jump.

C E R A S O L I Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of extraordinary works by Roy Nachum on view in Gallery 1 & 2 at the Cerasoli Gallery.
Exhibition opens August 22, 2009, and remains on view through September 16, 2009. Opening reception For the public is Saturday, August 22, from 6pm – 9pm.
At first glance the paintings by Roy Nachum can easily be confused with digital art. However, his works are actually oil paintings on canvas that are painted in a way that spurs the viewer to investigate further. Nachum creates his images by utilizing the idea of pixels. Each ‘pixel’ is painted one-by-one. The end result is a painting that comes together in a unique manner. Nachum describes this as creating micro worlds that come together in order to form the pattern of a single reality or of a dream.
This different technique also creates the desire of a physical approach to the piece, inviting people to feel and touch every pixel, experience the virtual and physical coming together in one unique moment. Influenced by everything that surrounds Nachum examines daily behaviors of different people, what makes them do the things they do and why– what they take for granted and why they do so. Thought, making and results – this is the origin of Nachum’s inspiration.
