“Making something out of nothing“. Isn’t it the secret of true creativity? In the video below you can see sound artist Yuri Suzuki (he’s one of the coolest media artists around, be sure to check his other works too) together with various musicians and DJs, making a huge sound music sculpture out of… trash! Dozens of beer cans, partly collected at this year’s Notting Hill carnival, have been used to build the red sound machine, and the result is simply stunning. The can machine has been then used to entertain the crowd with some good dubstep beats…
The video is part of an ad campaign launched by the beer brand Red Stripe. Make with a Red Stripe, this is the title, is a series of cultural projects cel­ebrating the DIY culture of the brand’s Jamaican roots.

Skeleton Typogram by graphic designer Aaron Kuehn:

“Exo… Endo… Typo! Your life, your organism, your soft tissues but a puddle on the ground, if not for the ancient segmental structure of the Vertebrates. The original hard core is evolving for 400 million years now. Hominids, like you, are using the latest upright technology originating only 4 million years prior. Here it is, updated, and reconstructed in a 2 dimensional static representation of long-stride locomotion for your screen or paper! The component bones, ordinarily constructed with rigid mineralized tissues, have been entirely typo-grammatically replaced with 676 free and fused glyphs, together forming a complete skeletal diagram in Latin. A radically literal graphic abstraction of anatomy…”
