The Human Camera: Stephen Wiltshire
They say autism is a disability, but he is special. What an amazing gift.
Stephen Wiltshire has been called the “Human Camera.” In this short excerpt from the film Beautiful Minds: A Voyage into the Brain, Wiltshire takes a helicopter journey over Rome and then draws a panoramic view of what he saw, entirely from memory.
Abstract Moving Sculptures Using Microsoft Kinect
I’m amazed that this entire abstract video was made using a simple Microsoft Kinect! Be sure to check out the making of below as well.
The potential of Microsoft’s motion sensing device Kinect is taken to new heights as Daniele Franke (We Are Chopchop) and Cedric Kiefer (onformative) have created a unique abstract artwork reminiscent of The Sandman in Spiderman 3. The artwork, titled unnamed soundsculpture, features a visual interpretation of the song “Kreukeltape” by Machinenfabriek.

Dancing Fluids Look Like A Work Of Art
Fluids that dance in such a way that it leaves you completely hypnotized, especially set to beautiful music.
Like a music video for the scientifically minded, the short film below explores the unusual world of ferrofluid, a liquid which acts a lot like a gelatinous magnet. The second installment in an ongoing series of experiments, the film was made by Singapore based photographer/videographer Afiq Omar, who edited it with a distinctly dark and rhythmic style that’s as intriguing as it is creepy. Omar’s goal was to create something using ‘analog’ effects, so what you see here uses few modifications after shooting, showing the utter weirdness of his subject material and his talent as a videographer.

Redbull: Skydiving From 71,000 Feet Up
Felix Baumgartner joins an elite club of people who have jumped from this height.
Felix:
First Test jump was a total success listen up everybody - I am back on earth:) You already now what happened but I just wanted to post a couple of words in respect to all of you. I know you have been with me - all the way UP and Down!! I am still stoked and can’t find the words to describe what happened today at 7 30 AM. Anyway, I have seen a lot of happy faces on site and nothing else matters. The happiest one is probably my buddy and suit guy Mike Todd, who was the first on in the dessert to pick me up. I stepped of at 21.818 meters and reached 587 km/h. Free fall time was 3 min 33 seconds. There is only 2 more guys who skydived from a higher altitude. No 1 is our friend Joe Kittinger and No 2 is Roger Eugene Andreyev from Russia! Pretty small club, isn’t it. Love you all FELIX, going to bed now before the party start here in Roswell
Here’s the video:
A Mural Of Staples
Cool drawing!
Wait, something looks different here.
No, they can’t be!
It’s staples! (Mind blown)
Aggravure is an ongoing series of large wall installations by Baptiste Debombourg. His latest,Aggravure III, was inspired by drawings from 16th century engravers Hendrick Goltzius, Jan Harmensz, Cherubino Alberti and utilizes nearly a half million metal staples tacked to a wall, taking 340 hours to complete.
It would be incredible to do something like this.

![Plexiglass Light Painting
Light painting is getting a little boring. Now this, this is art.
This made my soul sing.
This unknown artist took plexiglass, arranged and hung, and created a picture with light as his ‘paint’.
How can this not amaze you?

Projection Mapping: Digital Meets Reality
I see so many fascinating videos everyday that nothing really surprises me anymore. This is the exception.
Un-fricking-believable.
A project lines up with the real elements of a car, and re-projects the image of that car onto the same car with a cover (blank canvas), then it manipulates the car by a unique demonstration to the mix.
Confused? Don’t read, watch!
My mind has exploded. I am getting to a point where I can barely keep up with technology anymore. I wish I could accelerate the learning process, I want to know everything.
