An animatronic collaboration between artist Jordan Wolfson and Hollywood SFX studio Spectral Motion currently on show at the David Zwimmer gallery in New York.
Why yes it is a curvaceous, scantily-clad woman covered in smut dancing in front of a mirror wearing a witch mask.
Since you ask.

Behold the BAT (Bouyant Air Turbine) – a helium filled dirigible that deploys 300m (1000ft) above ground, generating low-cost energy for microgrids (ie. remote/island communities, disaster relief areas and military bases.)
A modern cousin of the blimp, the BAT, created by MIT founded company Altaeros Energies, is an aerostat – a heavy duty inflatable designed to withstand hurricane winds. High tensile tethers hold the BAT steady at high altitudes where winds are stronger, feeding power down to the ground.

A Big Think video of US astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson answering the question’ Who’s The Greatest Physicist In History?’.
Slowed down slightly, the great man just so happens to look, sound and behave as if utterly baked.
Brilliant. But baked.

On 23rd August 1994, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty (a.k.a. The K Foundation, The KLF, The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The JAMS, The Timelords, etc.) traveled to a disused boathouse on the Scottish island of Jura with a million pounds of their own money and burnt the lot.
They recorded the event on Hi-8 video and subsequently toured the UK and elsewehere engaging in debates with audiences about what they did and why they did it.
Bobby writes:
20 years ago from when the Late Late was actually vital TV. The KLF have burnt a million £. Would love to know what the audience members who give their opinions are up to now and what they do.
Were you in that Late Late audience?
