Abandoning little people on the streets since 2006 by Slinkachu

Someone has been abandoning little people in the streets since 2006. Ahhh, well, Slinkachu's made me think about Gulliver, which was recently release with Jack Black. Maybe I am stepping on little people in the middle of the street. Its time to look closely and check for new criatures.

Rio´s Grafitti - Poem Street Walls

Muros de Giz or Poem Walls is a great carioca streets initiative. People do graffttis on street walls
leaving a chalk part for passersby to write a poem or a phrase.

Later, the walls are photographed and post in FLICKr for backup reference.

The walls is frequently cleared to give space for new writtings.

Wall Phrase:

"O sonho é uma caixa fechada sem paredes"

The dream is a closed box without walls..

 

"O som pertence ao silêncio,

O silêncio imprime o tempo,

e edifica o espaço."

"The sound pertains to the silence,

silence imprints the time,

and edifies the space"

Project 5am the yellow book - by Jason Haye

The Yellow Book

On occasion we have an idea that is so clear and simple and elegant hat we are astonished, as if a rare and precious meteor fragment just landed at our feet. We pick it up and examine it closely. And we ask ourselves, where could this have come from. Looking back to the blue sky we marvel. But we can never figure out what to do with the idea. Some meteors become doorstops or paperweights. The same is true for these special thoughts. We marvel at their novelty for a while and then tend to forget them. But ideas, like a seed crystal, need to be nurtured so the can grow and influence us. An idea with beautiful symmetry must be planted deep in the mind with long and considerate reflection. Then it can be the seed crystal of thought that will grow, reflecting internal beauty and geometry.

Phil Hansen - Twin City Based Artist

Phil Hansen's art is amazing and instigating. He knows how to argument the current social and political moment in his art. Hansen is also doing one of the recent trends in the art world, document his art making in a performance video and post it in Youtube. I have compiled his great videos here along with some interviews to Axioms and CNN.

"He now works as an X-ray technician but spends all of his spare time and money on his art. His work and the way it is presented has given him a large following.

His breakthrough piece was a time-lapse video of a two-day project called Influences. He painted thirty pictures on his torso, one over the other, each picture representing an influence in his life. After it was completed, he peeled the layer off and cut a silhouette of his own profile. The uploaded video was streamed more than a million times on the Web, with process and final piece clearly revealed"

A Moment

He has broadcasted his phone number via the internet and asked people to call him and tell a moment that changed their life. All of these moments were written over the course of 136 hours of
which he didn't leave the work space except for restroom breaks.

Sly Underwear - Australian Underwear

Born amidst a flamboyant and forward thinking youth culture on Australia’s eastern shores, sly underwear is the alternative for those wanting to look and feel good from the bottom up.

While there's virtually no end to the variety that can be found in the world of women's panties, men's underwear has traditionally stayed within the same, limited range. Aiming to encourage fashionable males to begin thinking “outside the jocks,” Australian Sly Underwear has rethought the undergarment with a fresh take on youthfulness and style.

With a wide range of designs including one pair that looks like it's made from denim, Sly Underwear's product line focuses on three styles: the “workhard” version designed for everyday wear without any leg ride-up; the “playharder” model with bold graphics and longer legs; and the “resteasy,” with a generous cut and breathable fabric. All include at least one leg pocket and fabric is a blend of cotton and elastane. Coming soon is a line for women, according to Sly's latest catalogue. Pricing begins at AUD 19.95. In addition to donating 1,500 pairs of underwear to victims of Australia's recent floods, Sly is currently also donating AUD 2 from every garment sold online toward recovery efforts, it says.

Sly Underwear is currently available from the company's online store as well as through select Australian stockists. Retailers around the globe: time to revitalize men's underwear in your part of the world?
