Quilted ’flesh suits’ by London-based artist Daisy Collingridge: a blend of human anatomy and flights of blobby fantasy.
The wearable, hand-dyed, pellet-filled, pastel-colored body suits have names like Burt, Clive, and Lippy.

An artist’s impression of the new IKEA store at Vienna’s Westbahnhof station, where construction has just begun
Set for completion in early 2021, (though there’ll probably be a bunch of screws and a weird plastic thing left over), the store, with its green facade of 160 integrated trees and roof terrace, has no car parking spaces – a nod to Vienna’s first rate public transport system.
IKEA promises 24 hour delivery for any items that can’t be carried out by hand.
Saturday. Sandycove, Co. Dublin.
Colum Cronin tweets:
What an incredible day in Dublin! Blue skies, sunshine, it was like springtime in January!
In fairness.
There are more known volcanoes on Venus that there are on Earth but, until now, it’s not been clear which ones, if any, are active. To wit:
Evidence bolstering very recent volcanism on Venus has recently been uncovered, though, right here on Earth. Lab results showed that images of surface lava would become dim in the infrared in only months in the dense Venusian atmosphere, a dimming not seen in ESA’s Venus Express images. Venus Express entered orbit around Venus in 2006 and remained in contact with Earth until 2014. Therefore, the infrared glow (shown in false-color red) recorded by Venus Express for Idunn Mons and featured here on a NASA Magellan image indicates that this volcano erupted very recently — and is still active today. Understanding the volcanics of Venus might lead to insight about the volcanics on Earth, as well as elsewhere in our Solar System.

A film noir style CGI graduation short by students of Supinfocom Valenciennes in France. To wit:
After a heist that goes wrong, a frail robot who was the driver of a robot mafia ends up being in possession of some loot he shouldn’t have, a human heart. Tempted by the opportunity of being like his bosses, he grafts the heart to himself and discovers the feeling of being alive. But those brief instants of life have a price.

An anamorphic sculpture by Austrian artist Thomas Medicus featuring a cube composed of 144 glass strips painted in acrylic with four scenes which reveal themselves with each 90 turn.
The piece was inspired by a 1974 paper by American philosopher Thomas Nagel entitled ‘What Is It Like To Be A Bat?’
tldr: we can never really know.
