Since 2009, German street artist 1010 has been creating these mysterious, portal-like street art illusions on walls around the world. While at first glance it looks like he’s layering colored paper, upon closer inspection you realize that you’re actually looking at paint on a wall.

Hey Buzzfeed. I like a lot of the stuff you guys do, but I've noticed something lately that makes me (and I assume a lot of other people) question whether or not to read your website. It seems like a disproportionate number of your articles and videos cater to women and so-called "feminists". This very blog recently posted a picture that mocked the new and popular #Meninist activist movement. Do you REALLY want your readers to think you support so-called "feminist" ideology?

Yes. Unequivocally yes.

CIA admits they’re behind UFO sightings Anyone remember how UFO mad the world was in the 1950’s and 1960’s? Well the CIA has admitted that it was mostly their doing. Sorry true believers. Two days ago, the CIA Tweeted a report linking many of the reported UFO sightings in the 1950’s and 1960’s to one of their own secret aircrafts. At least half of all UFO reporting by nervous citizens in the 50’s and 60’s can actually be attributed to their U-2 spy planes that were being tested during those decades. "Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the ’50s? It was us," they tweeted. While the CIA kept a data log of all reports that matched their aircrafts, they were unable to give explanations due to the secrecy of the operation. According to the agency, the report was released this year and is the number 1 most read document released from their database in 2014. It could also explain why the USA has always seemed a little more UFO crazy than other countries.

UnMask

Theoretical art project from Simone Rebaudengo places an LED matrix onto a pollution mask to visualize expressions of the wearer - video embedded below:

For environmental and social reasons, mask are more and more common in many parts of our world.

As we believe in the value of some random emotional exchange in the streets, How would you read someone else’s subtle facial reaction to your words? How would you have a conversation when you barley can see each other?  How would the simple act of exchanging a smile happen between two people crossing paths? 

The Unmask is a possible answer to this. It’s a mask that allows to read your facial expressions and unmask your “emotion” hidden underneath.
