A very satisfying short in which master printmaker Keiji Shinohara demonstrates the fine art of Japanese woodblock printing (ukiyo-e), at several points using oil from his face to help the pressing tool grip the paper.
Reads wouldn’t do that for you.

A mesmerising, undulating kinetic artwork by Scale Collective created for the Constellations Festival in Metz, northeast France.
A ring of forty eight 1.5m long light rods, 40cm apart, each connected to a single motorised mechanism controlled by a viewer interface that spins the rods to create synchronised patterns.
But you knew that.

That’s you, that is.

The work of Russian ’xeno-urbanist’ Vadim Soloviev, who sez of the last one:
..recently, all of Moscow was covered in snow. And the giant ultra-foxes dozed peacefully in the courtyards of their so beloved “round houses”. But now it’s spring. This means that foxes will soon go away from the city, from civilization, to equip their summer ultra-burrows.

Behold: an epic one-off Lego model of the Land Rover Defender 110 Camel Trophy by master block-builder Manuel Nascimento, complete with roll cage, bull bars, winch, tow hitches, snorkel, roof rack, fuel canisters, working lights, blinkers, and a deployable rooftop tent.
The build won him “Best in Show” at the 2017 Paredes de Coura LEGO Fan Weekend in Portugal.

The absurd, whimsical wooden sculptures of Italian artist Willy Verginer – lifelike subjects bisected by strips of monochrome paint, exuding bubbles from their heads and fingertips.
Most of these figures are from his recent series, ‘Rayuela’, Spanish for hopscotch and the title of Julio Cortázar’s counter-novel that can be read from front to back or vice versa – a stream-of-consciousness style, producing varying endings and meanings depending on the reader’s sequence.
