Art on Instagram: Images Comparable to Traditional Art

February 2, 2014 by DailyBits

Many Instagram images are art forms themselves. They provide aesthetic value while uplifting the spirit, very much like traditional art. Of course, traditional art will always occupy its own level but fun photo challenges of Instagram users have certainly produced remarkable results.

The Rolling Stones Postcards — How the Stones Roll

The Rolling Stones is one of the most iconic bands in the world of rock and roll, with even the youngsters of today knowing about them, or at least knowing what they stand for. Formed in London in 1962 – when many of us were still particles of energy floating around the universe – the band is also known as the “World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band”, though some may put up an argument. In any case, with more than 200 million album sales worldwide, and with the band celebrating their 50th year last year, the Stones have certainly set the bar high for all other rock bands.

Call Parade Phone Booths Liven Up the Streets of São Paulo

There may be no phone booth more iconic than the blue police call box we all know as the TARDIS, but there is no reason to try and remake phone booths into things that are more interesting than your run-of-the-mill box, is there?

I am not sure if phone booths still exist in all cities of the world, but I am pretty sure that there is still at least one in your area. It may not work. It may look totally worn down. But there should be at least one in the vicinity.

But if you live in the city of São Paulo in Brazil, you will have more than one phone booth. And you will definitely take more than a second look at them. That is, if they are part of the Call Parade phone booths project.

WARNING: If you have a sensitive stomach and are strongly affected visually, then I suggest you take caution as you view this post.

So what’s with the idea of zombiecaplypse-compatible bread? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it’s not really all about providing bread that can help you survive in case the zombiecalypse does happen.

One look at that lead pic, and you get the feeling that it’s more about art applied to breadmaking. The kind of art that will make you go into a zombiecalypse frenzy, or throw up your breakfast. [Read more…] about Zombiecaplypse-Compatible Bread

Ever heard of Kumi Yamashita? Before discovering his shadow art work today, I had never heard of this name, but this is a worthwhile discovery.

Even if you are not all that into art, I think that you will still be able to appreciate this shadow art by Yamashita. Born in Japan, but now a New York resident, the artist takes common place objects and plays around with shadow and light to come up with artwork that can easily blow your mind.

Dry Cleaner Music: Creativity in Music

Diego Stocco Music — Diego Stocco's Dry Cleaner Music

One of the best lines I have heard from a song is “music is my aeroplane“. No doubt you also know what that song is, and I don’t know about you, but I think that line is just brilliant. The importance of music in life cannot be emphasized enough, and I can’t help feeling sorry for those who cannot appreciate it.

In any case, we all have our tastes in music, and one cannot – and should not – judge others because of this. And whatever kind of music may get you going, I think that you will appreciate what sound artist and composer Diego Stocco has created: dry cleaner music.
