Everybodys Darlehen: No Future Car
1. Metro. Doors are about to close. A civilized person - in a tie, indispensable detail - wants to get in, the doors are closing and his head is already in the subway car and stuck in the doors and the rest of the body is still on the platform. He looks sadly at those who are in and says in the fallen silence - "That’s great! F*** underground!"
10. Radar vehicles driving about the streets and checking videocassette recorders concerning prohibited cassettes.
17. Chinese carpets were glowing in the darkness with a silhouette of Mao Tse-tung lying in a coffin weaved with a special phosphoric thread, … invisible in a daylight.

It was taken by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit one hour before sunrise on the 63rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission.

"Stacks of staples were broken into varying sizes from full stacks about 12cm high down to single staples. These stacks were then stood up and arranged over a period of 40 hours." Peter Root: Ephemicropolis (Fotos und ein Zeitraffer-Video vom Aufbau)Wer eher auf organischen Städtebau steht, kann sich alternativ auch Wasteland anschauen:
"Potatoes are good for building free standing structures as the starchy moisture acts as a type of glue helping to stick the units together. As the potato begins to dry the units bond together [...] As the potatoes dry, harden and sometimes go mouldy this also adds an element of life to the work, meaning that the structures evolve, change shape and colour."

"I am a photographer based in Yorkshire who has built an online reputation on Roundographs: full 360° views displayed in a circle [...] I am currently working on a book called Roundography. In it I will discuss the way I work and how to make a Roundograph, as well as collecting all my favourite and most popular images with notes on locations."

"AIA caught this beautiful prominence eruption only a few days after its doors were opened. Soon after the instruments opened their doors, the Sun began performing for SDO with this beautiful prominence eruption. This AIA data is from March 30, 2010 [...] This extreme ultraviolet emission line is from singly ionized Helium, or He II, and corresponds to a temperature of approx. 50,000 degrees Celsius."
"This movie [...] shows the Sun's magnetic field followed by only four of SDO's 12 imaging wavebands. You'll see an eruption, flare, and dimming (dark regions evacuated by the eruption) by observing the event in several different layers of the atmosphere."
"This movie starts with a magnetogram from HMI and moves on to 7 different wavebands observed by AIA's telescopes. AIA covers a wide range of temperatures and will answer important questions about the temperature and energy structure of the Sun's atmosphere."(via Space Gizmo)
"Landscapes for the People is an ongoing series that looks at the use of romanticized wallpaper landscape photographs found in everyday environments. These wall sized photographic murals seem to serve a psychological function, given their potentially intimidating or banal locations, like dental rooms and laundromats [...] The resulting photographs of these locations document the strange play of the functional environment and the idealized psychological landscape."

"BarRectum, Arsch Bar, Asshole Bar, Bar Anus. While the translations sound different, the form is universally recognizable. The bar takes its shape from the human digestive system: starting with the tongue, continuing to the stomach, moving through the small and the large intestines and exiting through the anus. While BarRectum is anatomically correct, the last part of the large intestine has been inflated to a humongous size to hold as many drinking customers at the bar as possible. The anus itself is part of a large door that doubles as an emergency exit." BarRectum, 2005
