unconsumption: Artist Guy Laramee sculpts incredible detailed landscapes by carving into old books. So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills. Then they flatten and become fields where apparently nothing is happening. Piles of obsolete encyclopedias return to that which does not need to say anything, that which simply IS. Fogs and clouds erase everything we know, everything we think we are. [via This Is Colossal]

Stress by Yoan Capote

“Stress” depicts the constant metaphorical weight we feel in our daily lives, in this case under very real weight of 17 tons of concrete, compacting the molds of several people’s actual toofs. It looks like this sculpture may need a mouth guard.

The Tom Sachs Studio just released a video explaining their studio color code.  If you saw the video introducing everyone to their studio protocol then you know what you are in for. 

Just in case I didn’t fill you guys in, I work in one of the coolest offices in NYC.  Business Insider just listed Creative Time on their short list, proud to be there in all our futuristic glory.  See the story and photos here.

who needs trials??  who needs rights??  innocent until proven guilty?  nope.

Fuck us all.

inothernews: think-progress: Student loan debt has ballooned since the 1990s. Note: This graphic is the corrected version of an earlier tumblr post, which had misleading proportions. With a graphic like this, it’s hard to imagine how much worse the one with misleading proportions could have been. Sigh.

This is one of my favorite views of downtown. Interestingly, artist Tom Sachs has his studio in the row of buildings to the right. absurdlakefront: Some pictures cause me to really want to visit New York again.  This is an example.

Saw this from my bike last night- absurd!  inothernews: Hahahahahahahahahaha. I hope the producers at least got some footage of this going on.  I imagine that kid in Super 8 who, upon seeing that a train was about to barrel through his scene, yells “PRODUCTION VALUE!!!” at his cast and crew and orders them into positions to get the train into the shot. Also: it’s kind of insulting that the City of New York would grant a film permit to the Law & Order folks allowing them to construct an OWS-style “camp” so close to the actual Zuccotti Park site.  Of course, I understand that L&O aims for NYC authenticity.  But seriously, they should’ve thought this through a little more.
