Building Crap With Other Crap

The Mauger Modern Art gallery is hosting an exhibition for artist Robert Bradford, who creates Technicolor-styled creations using an assortment of old plastic crappy gadgets. Kind of like Nathan Sawaya and his Lego creations, except without the user-friendliness of bricks. His creations include an AK-47, a person, and a doggy, all made with various plastic doodads with a great feel ...

Car Bombing Turns Artsy

While we were never under the assumption that car bombing could be demonstrated cinematically as an art form, we have been proven wrong. The “I Want To Believe” exhibition from artist Cai Guo-Qiang at the Guggenheim Museum in New York displays 9 suspended cars, sequencing the movements of a car bombing. Enhanced with a spectacle of lit strands and a ...

And They Say TV Isn’t An Art Form

Just to prove TV critics wrong about the media not being an art form any more, take a look at THIS! The TV Easel puts the TV right back where it should be. As a prominent platform for the art that is TV.

Super Mario Collages Are Super, Mario

Ahh, geek art. Using your game-loving mentality to create a piece of gamer color that can be proudly shown in your humble abode. We imagine long nights, sipping wine by the fire, the sweet smell of leather book binding perfuming the air, as we gaze upon our ultra-classy, and not tacky in the least Super Mario Wall Art Collages, right ...

Art For The Geek Mind

The geek mind is sometimes ignorant to the abstract, such as fine art. Flickr user Paulthewineguy has put together a photo set which translates art into a language geeks can understand. Using emoticons and code, these pieces of art are much easier to admire, being a geek, than ever before. Art snobs beware, as this might make you feel a ...

Photographer Koen Hauser has put up a collection of photos mixing up those science class anatomical models with real human bodies. The photos are a really cool mix of non-living objects representing organic workings with actual living people.

The Church Tank: Not Aerodynamic Enough For Battle

The Church Tank is the brainchild of Russian artist Kris Kuksi, and you probably already guessed that it makes a statement about war in the name of religion. It’s not an actual tank, only a model measuring 8″ h 4″ w x 10″ d, but I have a feeling that a full-size version would generate a little too much drag ...

Jaundice Mario Made From Floppy Discs

Okay, so it’s not perfect. In fact, Mario looks rather sick to his stomach. But this Mario mural made from old floppy discs is really a great effort. You have to at least give them that. Pretty impressive (and we’ve seen some cool Mario mods in our day). The person who created this Mario piece plans to create an entire ...

Optimus Styro: The Weakest Transformer Ever

The 8-foot Transformer “Optiumus Styro” art project was developed by artists Kevin and Tywen Kelly over the course of 2 years using only select pieces of styrofoam. Their geeky hearts were in the right place, but a Transformer like this would prove useless in battle. He’s buoyant, I’ll give him that – but it would only take a stiff breeze ...

Naaitafel: Cool Concept, Bad Name

The Naaitafel holds a few distinctions among other conceptual art pieces. First off, it probably has the most awkwardly pronounced and worst named idea we’ve come across. Second off, it is a vintage mash-up of two old products, that produces something that should have been done a long time ago. A sewing machine and a record player have very similar ...
