Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever [Video]
So, apart from me, who else here thinks coffee is the greatest addiction of all time? :) My personal favorite coffee spot (in the region of Montreal): Caffรจ Art Java. What’s yours? [Via Neatorama]

The Pen Nib Dress: High Tech Robotic Fashion [Video]
Techย A dress covered in an armor of robotic pen nibs? I’m not gonna lie. I’d try it on, anyway. The Animated Pen Nib Dress is a project by Steven Tai and John Nussey–the 60s mod babydoll dress is plated with a field of 795 gold-colored pen nibs, mounted on tiny motors, which are animated […]
Rebecca Black’s “Friday” in 8-Bit [Video]
For now this is just a chiptune remake of the song set over a few images of what could potentially be the most inane game of all time.

Massive LEGO Barad-Dรปr (LOTR’s Dark Tower)
Kevin Walter made this absolutely amazing LEGO Barad-Dรปr for Brickworld 2011. I’d be curious to know how many pieces he used to make the tower, but the only details I got from his Flickr account is that the construction measures 175cm tall.

Metropolis II: Hot Wheels as Art [Video]
When does playing with toys become an artform? When you stop calling it a Hot Wheels track and instead dub it kinetic sculpture, apparently. Chris Burden has crossed the admittedly hazy line between Hot Wheels fan and Hot Wheels artist with Metropolis II, a super-massive construction that runs 1100 toy cars in constant motion over […]
Everything is a Remix: The Elements of Creativity [Video]

Mission Icefly [Video]
Thousands of blinking LED lights were dropped from an helicoper over the bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee last week. The only indication about what this is all about leads to missionicefly.com, a site that features a countdown and a mention that “test subjects are needed now.” [Mission Icefly]
