The Sound of Taste

"A recently released one-minute video called "The Sound of Taste" gives new meaning to the catchphrase "flavor explosion." This slow-motion video by director Chris Cairns (Grey London) was made as a commercial for a U.K. product called Flavour Shots. Rhythmic pyrotechnics send several colorful tons of black peppercorns, cardamom, turmeric, paprika, cumin seeds, coriander, and more soaring upward in great clouds of spicy fireworks." via

#StoriesInMyHands with Ibrahim Hammada

Via Instagram Blog: For Ibrahim Hammada (@ibrsoul), hands have unique powers of expression. “I used to hold my mother’s hands tightly when I felt anxious, and that always helped me relax,” says Ibrahim, a Syrian doctor who now lives in Koblenz, Germany. “Growing up, I realized that the power of our hands is not limited to touch but has something visual, too.” Ibrahim has always been drawn to art and architecture and he began the #StoriesInMyHands project as a way to do what he loves in his spare time. “When it is difficult for me to find words to express, my photos can do the job.”

Melancholy Rooms by Anna Radchenko

"Anna Radchenko is one of the new exciting talented breed of Russian artists that are now using London as their creative base. Originally from Moscow, Anna creates visual works on human emotions and observations of the modern world, working with installations and photography." via

She "has brought the Melancholy Rooms to London; at the Hoxton gallery, she creates an ambient where worldwide cultural behaviours are exposed, leading the audience to see, hear, feel and ultimately think about these certain issues. The total installation, or mixed media art, is the first Anna has ever done in London and it is a breach of her own boundaries as an artist as she creates more than just images. The exhibition mixes her well-known photographic work with sculptures, installation, music and video." via

Since the project has started, I shot more than 40 different concepts/characters. of course, for the exhibition I have chosen the ones I liked the most and the strongest ones. All the “sculptural” items (body parts) were produced in Moscow by a team called Zolotaya Staya, the rest has all been sourced, produced and put together in London by an amazing team of professionals leaded by Frederica Hodgkinson.

The core of the exhibition consists of four room installations: mothers love: when it gets hard to breathe disorder: life from like to like consumerism: I consume therefore I exist information wars: what is true and what is fake

Antrum Installation by Matrioshka

Antrum Spatio-Graphical Interactive Installation looks like a grotto of the membrane, the surface of which is inhabited by strange creatures. It’s complex structure causes association with living creatures, space objects and architectural constructions. In this frontier word pure mathematical abstractions are mixed with natural shapes, resulting in formation of new entities. Viewers can push the membrane and try to contact with them.

Watch Classical Sculptures Spring To Life Through The Magic Of Projection Mapping

Walk through any good art classical museum, and the statues can seem so real, it's almost as if they'll come to life if turn your back on them. At France's Lyon Museum of Fine Arts, for at least one night, that's exactly what happened.

The museum asked artist Arnaud Pottier to bring sculptures, including Laurent Honore Marqueste's Perseus Slaying Medusa, James Pradier's Odalisque, and Barrias' Les Premières Funérailles, to life. His method was pretty simple: He used projection mapping, which can turn anything—including statues—into a display.

Alain Cornu’s Roofs of Paris

If you have been to Paris you might remember its mythical nights full of love and unknown. Photographer Alain Cornu focus on the second topic - unknown for the common eye, and that is Paris roofs.

"I couldn’t sleep that night. My body was resting but images were dancing in my head: artificial lights, anarchic buildings, unattainable people… It was an incomprehensible world depriving me of sleep. After a while, I decided to get up, get dressed and leave the house. It would have been the perfect opportunity for a nighttime walk, but I didn’t go outside. Having lived for many years on the ground floor of a Parisian building, it had never occurred to me to go upstairs. I turned on the light and started climbing the stairs..."

The first landing was a surprise. Although I was familiar with the decorations—the Persian patterns, the corniche, the color of the doors and the texture of the walls, this place seemed foreign to me. With a mixture of fear and excitement, I climbed up the next flight of stairs. There’s no law that says you can’t wander around your own building at night, but I still felt like I was doing something wrong. I kept climbing and my intuition told me that I was doing something whose logic would only become clear later on.

The only light came from the skylight, ran along the wall , spilled onto the floor and up the service ladder hanging there. It was used by roofing workers, chimney sweep and antenna salesmen to get on the roof.

The lock had been left undone. I saw a sign inviting me to go up further .I dragged the ladder to reach the openning and went out taking the ladder wit me and closing the window,

I stood up slowly and felt a great calm.
