Bassoforte by Diego Stocco

Diego Stocco re-purposed the keyboard of a dismantled piano that was in his garden, he built a new instrument by combining it with some other parts he had laying around. He ended up with a mechanical hybrid thing he calls "Bassoforte" (bass + pianoforte). The neck is from a broken electric bass, the bridge is a cabinet handle, the pickups are from a guitar, and the part at the top where the strings are attached is a chimney cap, which works as resonator as well as percussive sound. The track he created is a tribute to his Dad who is a big fan of Western comic books and "spaghetti western" films.

Steve Bialik

When making Star Wars George Lucas was influenced by Akira Kurosawa's samurai movies. In this series of Japanese woodblock prints, artist Steve Bialik reimagines Star Wars characters as if Star Wars was actually set in feudal Japan.

Adam Connelly

Adam Connelly is an American artist and designer. His work examines where the borders of the digital and the analog world meet, and how social, cultural, and ideological trends are shaped by technology and art.

Taking inspiration from both the tradition of the painted nude and popular pornography, his work addresses the role that porn has in advancing technology and the subsequent impact on culture and ideology.
Drawing its subjects from the vast pool of freely-available Internet porn, his work delves into issues of public and private identity, privacy, censorship, information sharing, and information awareness.

These paintings are like pixelated digital images, try looking at them from a distance or through squinted eyes.

Shadow Art

I found this shadow art amazing. Arranging objects in such a way that, when a light is shone at a certain angle, a shadow is cast, creating an silhouette image.

I particularly like the one of the peices of paper creating profile images of faces.

The song is also very good.
