‘Beyond Noh’ – a hypnotically rhythmical cycle though 3,745 masks: from ancient painted faces to pop culture mugs and the ubiquitous face-pants of the pandemic.
Created by mask enthusiast Patrick Smith, the sequence combines photos from museum archives, galleries, crowdsourced submissions and Smith’s own private collection. He sez of it:
To me, masks are an interesting way to view humanity. It seems to me that every culture in the history of the world has participated in some form of mask making, whether it’s for performance, ritual, protest, or utility.
An award-winning 2010 short by Léo Verrier set in New York in 1950 where – fascinated by art – Jack skims museums all day long, then steals paintings which he hides at his home.

A 1985 ad for General Electric rightly identified by We Are The Mutants as having the most amount of 80s any ad from the 80s could possibly have. Imagine the film Krull starring Jon Bon Jovi in suede lace-up boots. You’re not even close. To wit:
Only in a decade as contradictory as the 1980s would one of America’s most respectable and historic companies spend nearly a million dollars on a commercial depicting new wave “adventurers” in a post-apocalyptic “third millennium” wasteland as part of a last ditch campaign to save its fatally outmatched consumer electronics line. The company was General Electric, and the commercial was aimed squarely, even obnoxiously, at the nascent MTV generation.
Two and a half very pleasing minutes of macro photography featuring ice crystals forming on the surface of soap bubbles in frigid temperatures – shot over the course of 30 hours by the very patient Jens Heildler.
The late charming country musician and former Hee Haw host Roy Clark performs a lightning-fingered guitar cover of Euday Bowman’s ’12th Street Rag’.
Whether you believe him or not, Snarky Puppy drummer Larnell Lewis maintains he’d never heard Metallica’s ‘Enter Sandman’ before it was played to him by drum lesson channel Drumeo.

Stay for the flawless first time performance.
