When New Zealand-based artist Henry Hargreaves heard a health professional call soda “the cigarettes of our generation”, he wanted to find a way to represent the risk visually.
He decided to show what happens after the water in a drink is boiled away. Once boiled, he then took the remaining substance, a mixture of sugar, colouring and other byproducts, and poured it into a silicon lollipop mould. “I thought lollipops were the perfect fit because to me that’s what a soft drink is; it’s kind of a lollipop dressed up as a soda, or a kind of adult lollipop.

"H2o architectes designed the Arsenal Flat in Paris for a couple that have two children. The apartment isn’t your typical design. The interior is laid out to include three connected living spaces that are open but slightly partitioned by built-in bookcases with one angled side, which references the building’s sloped roofline."
Check the new motion work directed by Panoply (run by Mark Lindner and Renaud Futterer). "Through a combination of powerful imagery and atmospheric pace Genesis dares us to fleetingly glimpse our own origins, our civilisation and the known universe. Drawing heavily on a visual currency distilled from the subconscious and the psychology of self, we are taken on a stark journey marrying rippling, organic forms with stern, unyielding geometry. Fragile human constructs such as truth, individuality and hope are both recognised and relinquished while dark, billowing fabric reminds us of the shrouded nature of existence."

The Ekomobil company of Minsk has created a pedal-powered replica of Morgan’s trike. Based on drawings of the very first racing models, the cunning Picar lives up to the classic’s riveted retro glory, with a wood veneer dash, leather trim and polished faux exhaust pipes emerging from cylinders of a faux engine.
Powered by your breakfast, the Picar’s chain drivetrain runs through a three-speed Shimano Nexus hub on the rear wheel. An optional battery pack powers an audio player, turn indicators and headlights. There’s even a human-electric hybrid version available, with a 1000-watt motor capable of pushing the car to a brisk 25mph. And rest assured, although a youthful outlook is required to drive the Picar, actual youth is not; the car’s single-seat cockpit easily accommodates drivers as tall as six feet.

"Blue pencil drawings by Canadian artist Zachari Logan depicting a man engulfed by plants, animals, and insects. Logan uses himself as a model for his drawings and paintings, turning his elaborate studies of nature to explore intersections between masculinity, identity, memory and place. His idea of a man entwined with nature, a life unfamiliar to most of us, is his concept of a unified man who Zachari believes has disappeared in the 21st century."
"This is a brilliant street art piece made by wire sculptor Edoardo Tresoldi and muralist Gonzalo Borondo.

"Four years ago, Booooooom creator Jeff Hamada asked the internet to join in on an art challenge to recreate their favourite old master paintings as contemporary photographs.

This collection of original paintings and their contemporary counterparts has now taken the form of a book released through Chronicle Books titled Remake: Master Works of Art Reimagined."
