3D Street Art 

Street artist Kurt Wenner has displayed a collection of amazing 3D pavement art. Known for his three-dimensional art forms that consist of street painting, pavement art, chalk art, or sidewalk art, Wenner has enticed crowds with these forms of ‘anamorphic perspective’. Wenner also spends his life creating new art forms and educational programs through different mediums.











“My paintings invite rediscovery of many artistic traditions, and I enjoy incorporating mythology, allegory, literature, and theatre into the compositions… I particularly like to challenge my audience with a wealth of allusions — historical, stylistic, and perceptual. While some viewers recognize and appreciate the content, others admire the richly embellished surfaces or technical ability. I especially enjoy working on large pieces that “encompass’” the viewer,” shares Wenner.

“By combining painting with sculpture and architecture, I force them to interact in new ways that often blurs the distinction between them. The traditional appearance of my work is my strongest illusion, as it obscures the bold and original use of perspective I employ.”

How does it work? The brain works out our 3D experience of the world from the 2D light patterns that fall onto our retina at the back of the eye. This process takes advantage of many of our implicit assumptions of the world, such as the fact that textures will fade as they go farther away, parallel lines will tend to converge in the distance and that objects will seem larger the closer they are. When seen from a certain angle, the pictures fool the visual system’s inbuilt processes to produce a false sense of depth.

Rumors in Technology
***TECH WATCH*** 

 (no really, it's a physical watch)

Rumor has it that a new product is brewing in Apple’s pipeline—and it is not an even longer iPhone or an Apple TV. Sources have have told Tech163 in China that Apple is working with Intel to develop a Bluetooth-enabled, iOS watch with a 1.5 inch screen—or in this case, face. Considering that the iPhone is facing stiff competition from smart phones of other brands, this may be Apple’s way of diversifying its product line.

Besides, a wearable “smart” watch is kind of cool—but would you buy one?

Can Art Really Be Just ONE LINE?

Self-taught French artist Pierre Emmanuel Godet painstakingly etch out complex and intricate portraits of pop culture icons with one continuous line. Using only a pen and paper, he completes each portrait in a single, long stroke—looking closely, one would also find that each portrait is made up of objects, shapes and stories that relates to the subject. Starting his unique series in 2010, the artist has already drawn quite a number of famous faces, including Andy Warhol, Mozart, Marilyn Monroe and even Batman and The Joker.

An Artistic Science Experiment -- or maybe a Scientific Art Experient?


While most of us prefer to buy our Christmas trees, a group of scientists from the J.Craig Venture Institute (JCVI) rather grow theirs with the use of mold. Using different types of mold, the scientists have combined science and art to create colored images of Christmas trees and a snowman.Instead of seeing it as gross and disgusting, these scientists hope to show the underlying beauty that mold possesses.
