(via Pae White Uses computer-assisted loom to weave opera curtain of scanned images of aluminum foil.) I’m not sure how I feel about this. I mean, it’s a really cool novelty. But it’s extremely distracting, and isn’t that the exact opposite of what a curtain is supposed to do?

When a man looks like he has walked out of an old black and white photo you find at a flea market. Favorite.
This man’s trousers are, in my opinion, perfect. Firstly, they sit at his natural waist, creating a highly flattering waistline, and secondly, they are just wide-legged enough to give his figure a weightedness that he couldn’t get with skinny pants.
These ties are from Harvard, from the 50s, and all denote specific sports affiliations. And they are rad. I think I’m going to myself a tie just like this in marled-white and red for CCAD.
Well this looks really awesome.
The game is set in a large museum during a Jeff Koons retrospective. The viewer is given a rocket launcher and the choice to destroy any of the work displayed in the gallery. If nothing is destroyed the player is allowed to look around for a couple of minutes and then the game ends. However, if one or more pieces are destroyed, an animated model of Jeff Koons walks out and chastises the viewer for annihilating his art. He then sends guards to kill the player. If the player survives this round then he or she is afforded the ability to enter a room where waves of curators, lawyers, assistants, and guards spawn until the player is dead. In the end, the game is unwinnable, and acts as a comment on the fine art studio system, museum culture, art and commerce, hierarchical power structures, and the destructive tendencies of gallery goers, to name a few.
