Paco Pomet

in , ,

"The art of Paco Pomet is highly iconoclastic. He possesses a wonderfully bizarre sense of humor that manifests itself in his oil paintings which contain a strange or humorous visual twist. His subverted landscapes and portraits often borrow from sepia-toned photographs that look like historical documents or vintage photos. There is a parallel to traditional Western Art, mixed with a monochrome effect that restates the documentary character of the original piece." via Ignant

Pay Per Laugh

in , ,

Last year the Spanish government decided to raise the tax for theatrical shows from 8% to 21%, resulting in a fall in audience attendance of 30% in one year. In response to this, Teatreneu, a comedy club in Barcelona has partnered with advertising agency The Cyranos McCann and came up with an ingenious new way to get people back through the door.

payperlaugh

"Pay per Laugh is a new project that charges audience members according to how much they laugh at a show. Using facial-recognition technology installed in iPads attached to the back of seats, a count is made of how often each person laughs. This data is then sent to a server which creates and monitors the statistics. Audience members are offered free admittance but are charged €0.30 per laugh. However, the price for laughter is capped at €24."

Artworks by Antonio Mora

in , ,

"Spain-based artist Antonio Mora describes his artwork as "cocktails," amalgams of images found on blogs, databases, and magazines, fused seamlessly into the types of imagery that could only come from a serious lucid dreamer. Whether it's a forest melting into a woman's face, or someone's hair exploding into a slash of water, the dreamy portraits are tough to get out of your head." via
