"Pork fat is one of the most popular food in Ukraine. It is eaten raw, fried, salted, boiled and smoked. Pork fat is used to lard any other meat but pork. Eggs fried on pork fat are a popular fast food ..." Flickr-Set: Ukrainian Cuisine (mit radebrechender Orginal-Beschreibung)
Von den leider nur sechs Fotos sind zwei schon etwas älter, die anderen aber erst vor ein paar Tagen hochgeladen worden: ich habe mir jedenfalls den Album-Feed abonniert und hoffe auf mehr."I work at a museum. We have an XRay machine. I had to test it. These are the results." XRays of Toys
"Gezeigt werden unzusammenhängende Szenen aus aller Welt, die den Zuschauer schockieren, aber auch unterhalten sollen. Bei vielen Szenen geht es um den brutalen Umgang mit Tieren, Schlachtungen und Rituale. Es werden aber auch Bilder mit befremdlichen menschlichen Bräuchen gezeigt, so z. B. stark alkoholisierte Männer auf der Hamburger Reeperbahn."(Neulich beim Kraftfuttermischwerk gesehen, aber vergessen zu bloggen und jetzt vom Cartoonist nochmal erinnert worden)
"In stead of transforming the chair we decided to transform the context. After studying various options the final choice was to upscale the chair a 1000 times and place it in Cape Town, the final destination of the Charity project .. The chair becomes a model of a building with a height of 760m, an urban icon for Cape Town. The transformation lies within our own fantasy. The mental change due to the overwhelming scale, entirely compensates the absence of physical changement of the chair itself . While the ONO chair can be used by a maximum of two people, the OYES chair with a surface of 800.000m² can host about 50.000 people. An extremely generous chair!!"

"Tokyo-based artist Koshi Kawachi recently demonstrated his “Manga Farming” technique — which uses old manga as a growing medium for vegetables — by cultivating a crop of radish sprouts in an installation at the Matsuzakaya department store in Nagoya."

"The other day some colleagues and I [...] went to recall the good old days to 8bit cafe, a very special cafeteria plenty of stuff related to 90’s video games. Soon after entering the cafeteria we saw shelves plenty of video game consoles [...], accessories, video game boxes and tons of really cool stuff capable of evoking nostalgic feelings to a whole generation of gamers from the 90’s ...

"[...] But to come to the conclusion that McQueen’s success was simply the result of a handsome, athletic and naturally suave guy playing too-cool-for-school characters is to miss McQueen’s true cinematic gift: He was devastating in a close-up."

"I was in LA and this guy shows up in a suit from head to toe made of glass. I thought it was pretty cool. I asked him if I could take a picture from below. So this is me laying on the ground with a broken mirror above my head pointing. Pretty Cool!"

"My research interests lie at the intersection of DIY technology cultures, grassroots community practices and innovative methodologies. I am particularly interested in bike making cultures and wireless networking groups. Although their technologies differ, these groups are united by a hands-on engagement with a diverse assemblage of materials and improvised methods in ordinary suburban locations." About MeDenjenigen, die sich für einen fundierten, aber trotzdem kurzweiligen und unterhaltsamen Vortrag zur Kulturgeschichte des Klebebands interessieren, empfehle ich Jungnickels Vortrag "Stickytape!", den sie im Pecha Kucha-Stil im Science Museum’s Dana Centre zum Thema "Technology You Can’t Live Without" gehalten hat.
"Nomadic Plants is a metaphor for the alienated human condition and the impact its activity has on nature [...] The work includes a small automaton robot (nomadic plant) that moves towards water when its bacteria require nourishment. It contains vegetation and microorganisms living symbiotically inside the body of the machine. The robot draws water from a contaminated river, decomposes its elements, helps to create energy to feed its brain circuits and the surplus is then used to create life, maintaining plants that, at once, fulfil their own life cycle."
