Guinness Glasses Combine to Form Dynamic Images

Guinness 250 is a spectacular visual ad campaign created by Act Two-Um, a creative agency based in London and New York. The company states that their purpose is to "transform your raw photography or initial creative concepts into dynamic and powerful imagery that can be the driving force behind your next acclaimed campaign," and they have certainly achieved some captivating results for Guinness.

Featuring more than 15,000 glasses, Guinness 250 is a collection of topographical images built within a computer-generated (CGi) environment. To create the artwork, Act Two-Um focused in on every major and minor detail, including lighting, skin texture, and hand poses, and even tailored individual ads to the local markets by changing the types of glasses that are being held. The final results feature the shapes of various continents and countries, a guitar, and even a small submarine in a collective toast to the delicious celebration of Guinness.

This is real bread which is sculpted to look like a corpse. Thai baker Kittiwat Aun-A-Rom created it. He wants to show people that they should not just stick to the usual appearance of food,
When he first baked it, he didn’t think it would be popular and he didn’t think of marketing it. But when foreign media like A.P. Reuter wrote about his idea, many orders start pouring in from around the world such as U.S.A., Germany, Japan, South Korea etc. that
made him earn more than US$1000 per month.

Teenager Handcrafts Submarine Using a Drainage Pipe

Many high school students often consider going into college to major in some form of engineering, but very few have the portfolio that 18-year-old Justin Beckerman has, which now includes a working submarine! Growing up, Justin was always building miniature remote controlled machines out of scrap electronics he would find and, as he grew up, his skills in building and electronics only increased. Now a teenager, Justin is close to completing his most ambitious project to date.

By using a nine-foot long piece of drainage pipe as a body, he has outfitted the make-shift craft with communication systems, lights for underwater exploration, working motors, a breathing system and ballast tanks that allow the sub to submerge in a controlled fashion. So far, the deepest dive he's attempted has only been six feet in depth, however, he believes he can achieve a plunge of 30 feet. To learn more, check out the news report, below, on Justin Beckerman and his submarine.

Sculptural Reveals Ai Weiwei's Incarceration

S.A.C.R.E.D. is a six-part sculptural installation by renowneed Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei presenting stationary scenes from his publicly reported 81-day incarceration in 2011. At the time of his arrest and imprisonment in China, details of the artist's whereabouts were scarce as the public demanded answers. Being an active social media user worked in the artist's advantage. The public's eye on his status and pressures on the Chinese government to release him allowed Weiwei to return to civilization, though he refrained from talking about his confinement on any social platforms.

Now, nearly two years since his release, Ai shares his life in prison through a set of large-scale dioramas that visitors of the 2013 Venice Art Biennale can peer in on through carefully placed windows and doors. The six boxes reveal different scenes of humiliation the artist faced during his detainment. The sculptures include a figure in Ai's resemblance who is constantly accompanied by officers, whether he is sleeping, eating, or even showering.

Though Ai is not allowed to leave China to see his own exhibition, his mother Gao Ying traveled to Venice to represent her son at the opening of S.A.C.R.E.D., which is part of the artist's larger exhibition titled Disposition.

Paper Sculpture Made from a Sheet of Paper

Using just one single sheet of paper, Japanese artist Nahoko Kojima delicately hand-cut this amazing Cloud Leopard Papercutsculpture to mimic the shape of a large spotted animal, whiskers and all. Her steady hands and extreme patience were tested throughout the duration of the cutting process, which took five months to complete. Inspired by humans, animals, forces of nature, and life in general, Kojima focuses on both the positive and negative space to produce her intriguing three dimensional forms.

Suspended from the ceiling, the fragile animal shape is maintained through a careful placement of thin wire. However, as visitors move around and change perspective, the reflections of light and shadow, the rounded curves, and the hollow space become an ever-changing form. Kojima says, "The curiosity of Paper Cut Art for me is that you can express all dimensions of the world by using a single sheet of paper."

The talented artist is part of Solo Kojima—a creative partnership between herself and British designer Shari Solo—which specializes in Japanese papercut art and design. The delicate sculpture was revealed at in 2012 during Craft Council's show at the Saatchi Gallery in London, and has since been exhibited in other cities around the world, including Italy and Paris.

Creative Pop-Up Libraries Promote Literacy Across New York

Created by Stereotank, Little Free LIbrary is a public installation project providing New Yorkers with a spontaneous opportunity to read a book. Just like you might do in a library, the books can be borrowed but need to be returned or exchanged in order to keep each location active.

Located in Nolita, the structure is made out of an upside down plastic yellow tank and a wooden frame. Upon ducking into the space, visitors will find themselves surrounded by a selection of various literature. Small holes cut into the plastic provide a glimpse in before entering the interior space or a lovely view outside while enjoying a good story.

The idea is a joint effort by The Architectural League of New York in partnership with Pen World Voices Festival and Little Free Library, LTD. They selected ten designers to develop one LIttle Free Library in various spots across downtown Manhattan in order to promote literacy across the city. This bright yellow design will remain as a functioning "take a book, leave a book" library until September 1, 2013.
