Serpent d'Océan - Huang Yong Ping

A gigantic aluminum serpent was completed in 2012 by artist Huang Yong Ping. It lays along the shore of the Loire River near Nantes, France. It is nearly 425 feet and mirrors the curves of the Saint Nazaire bridge nearby.

Huang Yong Ping (Chinese: 黄永砯; born 1954) is a French contemporary artist and one of the most famous Chinese Avant-garde artists. Born in Xiamen, he was recognized as the most controversial and provocative artist of the Chinese art scene in the 1980s.[1]

Huang was one of the first artists to consider that art was a strategy.[1] He was a self-taught student educating himself under three well-known men. Joseph Beuys well known German artist and art theorist, John Cage an American music theorist and philosopher, and Marcel Duchamp a French artist that’s associated with Dadaist and Surrealist. He then graduated in 1982 from CAFA in Hangzhoue. In 1986 he formed Xiamen Dada. Huang Yong Ping has four periods associated with himself, anti-artistic affectation (fan jiaoshi zhuyi), anti-self-expression (fan ziwo biaoxian he xingshi zhuyi), anti-art (fan yishu), and anti-history (fanyishushi). In 1989 at the age of 35 Huang Yong Ping went to Paris for the Magiciens de la terre exhibit. He then ended up immigrating to France and living there ever since. Many of his pieces today are on a large scale, making them not auction-compatible.

Huang Yong Ping represented France at the 1999 Venice Biennale.

The Department of Awesome Automata seldom gets an opportunity to show off, but today they’re pulling out all the stops with this breathtaking Silver Swan automaton. Housed at the Bowes Museum in North East England, this exquisite 18th century clockwork bird was designed by designed and built by John Joseph Merlin along with London inventor James Cox.

The life-size swan automaton swims in a stream made of moving glass rods along with small silver fish. When it’s clockwork is wound up, a music box plays as the swan turns its head from side to side, preening her silver feathers, eventually spotting a fish in the water and then bending down to catch it.

In effort to preserve this extraordinary creation, the Silver Swan is only operated once each day. But we can watch it as many times as we like thanks to this video:

Proposal:  Bring back “rustled jimmies” and use that instead of making shitty “triggered” jokes

[chieftx]

I still use rustled jimmies IRL. My folks love it, though much to my sadistic glee, my sister finds that joke invokes the thought of a lightly scratched nutsack.

It really rustles her Jimmies so to speak.

Reef fish sing a ‘dawn chorus’ like songbirds

Scientists in Australia have recorded new audio of fish choruses, which are often performed in reef habitats around dusk and dawn.

Today the Department of Awesome Anamorphic Artwork is admiring these outstanding murals created all over the world by Italian artist Manuel Di Rita, aka Peeta. He’s a master of using color gradients and shadows to make his paintings look as thought they’re coming out of the walls, hovering in midair, or even make it seek like the buildings he’s painted have instead been wildly sculpted into impossible shapes.

Visit Peeta’s website or follow him on Instagram or Facebook to check out lots more of his stunning 3D murals.

somebody could literally make the funniest joke in the universe, expertly crafted and hand made like a fine artisan cheese, but it’ll never make me laugh as much as that one fucking comic where goofy steals a hat from himself in a different panel and defies all logic and starts crying

I finished my Undertale cross stitch. It’s annoying that you can’t nudge the type like in photoshop, lol

I’m really excited about the amount of notes this has :D

I am mostly convinced this was kind of a happy accident rather than intentional worldbuilding, but this here’s a thing I get a kick out of regarding Gerudo fashion;

In Gerudo society, this is women’s armour that armoured warriors would wear;

When you crack even the regular not-Nabooru Iron Kuckles open there’s a unique, not-Nabooru Gerudo lady inside of them, Iron Knuckles are covered in Gerudo motifs, this is all around a pretty Gerudo construct.

BUT, this is Ganondorf’s armour when he was young and functioning as their king;

We got a skin tight black leather catsuit under sculpted muscle leather armour topped off with thigh-high boots. Ganondorf comparatively wears the masculine equivalent to form-fitting titty breastplates. I’d go so far as to say this is like the Gerudo saying “But if they can’t see his sweet abs and manly, narrow hips how will they know he’s a guy? Better hammer some pecs into that chest plate just to be sure. Put some weird beads on his big bulgy biceps, it’ll draw people’s attention and he’ll get the upper hand while they’re distracted.”

The in-universe implications of of the character with the most aggressively on-display masculine secondary sex characteristics also being the character who was most likely dressed by women are kind of interesting to consider. It’s kind of taking “male power fantasy” and looping it around into some kind of “strong male character”  situation, like some Gerudo fashion designer is standing there all “okay, so the fabric might not breathe at all and you’ll probably get your sternum crushed by the first guy who tries to punch you in the chest, but just get a load of how masculine and empowered you look!”

[coelasquid]

Also on this subject, there are no hinges on the little shoulder armour bolero thing he wears. it’s got meticulously sculpted delts and traps and no way to efficiently lift his arms. This piece of armour exists for no reason other than to accentuate his big broad hunky child-rearing shoulders.

[drunkcyclonus]

They would want Ganondorf to be recognize as a man, a King, so while wearing the armor is awesome, the armor is also heavy, not very mobile for stealth (they are a thief clan) and metal is VERY hot in the Gerudo desert. 

All I keep seeing is that Ganondorf was raised in a all female clan so I just keep imagining that Ganondorf has to be send back into the “dressing room” because their king should not be caught dead in “such outfits”

[coelasquid]

A full bodyskin-tight leather catsuit with more leather armour on top of it is about the most impractical thing you could wear for desert life or sneaking. the fact that leather doesn’t breathe and let sweat escape aside, he would squeak every time he moved. Other Gerudo wear loose, light, airy fabrics with a lot of draping and ventilation, Ganondorf is vacuum sealed from the neck down dark, heavy, unbreathable material.

Ganondorf just limping through the desert, chafing and squeaking like a new pair of shoes. No wonder he went crazy coveting Hyrule’s pleasant breeze.
