Great little animation by Cormac Kelly that could actually be a visual metaphor for the banking industry.

I love these weird pod sculptures from Colin Christian. If the films 2001 Space Odyssey vs. Alien were to be made into a movie, these would definitely be the new creature eggs and instead of a cave, they would be incubating in a Eero Saarinen building.

Now showing at SFMOMA, a total dystopian love fest. With the current crop of awful science fiction movies over the past few years. It’s time to revisit the good old days of tomorrow. And not that I’m suggesting taking mind altering substances for viewing of these films, but one has to wander what was in the water back then and where can I get some now, and does it come bottled? There are some fantastic worlds of despair that have a viscerally visual pleasure that seduces you into watching a grim forecast of the future today. Read more »
