“A month ago I took a photo I had the idea the night before. I imagined a girl being held up by her incredibly long hair—like ridiculously long. Doubtful I’d find a model with hair as long as I envisioned so I just altered the idea to fit the photo shoot I was already doing.
I uploaded the photo and within 5 minutes can tell it was going to do really well. Just not 130,000 likes and 2,000 comments really well. I don’t know what I did or how it happened, but I’m glad.”

Mass is a site specific installation project by Carson Davis Brown about creating visual disruptions in places of mass (to date: big-box stores, super-centers, etcetera.).

Phygital - a new word in describing real world materia crawling into the digital existence and vice versa. This is the best way to describe what Anny Wang and Tim Söderström do on a daily basis by creating an unexpected digital experiences through materiality and technology taken from the real world. "For example, one series, Treasures amalgamates objects which you know are created on screen, but each element uses an analogue perspective. Marble and stone materials, or even a giant wobbly creature-like ball, appear so realistically that initially you think the image is a highly stylised still life shoot."
"Surreal and hyper-realistic, these seemingly contradictory traits have become the signature aesthetic of Xooang Choi‘s sculptures. His approach of incorporating anatomically correct human features – which have all been crafted with excruciating attention to detail – onto his nightmarish creations make each sculpture that much more harrowing. From the head of a Great Dane sewn onto the neck of a life-sized man to a pair of wings formed by disembodied hands, the South Korean artist seems to know no bounds in deforming and contorting familiar human bodies and body parts into deeply disturbing works of art. But through invoking discomfort, Choi’s goal is to draw attention to important societal issues such as human rights, discrimination, and isolation. Scroll down and see more of Choi’s haunting sculptures below."
