Martha Stewart, Architecture-Inspired Wedding Cake

“In this cake, the cantilevered tiers are a tribute to Frank Lloyd Wright. Styrofoam separators supporting the tiers are hidden behind undulating walls of fondant inspired by the work of the contemporary architect Frank Gehry.”

zero-inch:

Mika Vainio - Rasputin 3000 (comfortzone)

Mika Vainio’s second single for Viennese imprint comfortzone continues in the doomtronica fashion that defined his 2011 album, ‘Life (…it Eats You Up)’: Distorted, grumbling synth assaults over lo-fi drum computer patterns. Intense!

EP and single tracks now available for download (MP3 / 320 kb/s)

Waking up hardcore.

Nietzsche Typescript, written on his writing ball: A Poem. Copyright: The Goethe and Schiller Archive, Weimar, Germany

The poem in English translation:

“THE WRITING BALL IS A THING LIKE ME: MADE OF IRON
YET EASILY TWISTED ON JOURNEYS.
PATIENCE AND TACT ARE REQUIRED IN ABUNDANCE
AS WELL AS FINE FINGERS TO USE US.”

(Friedrich Nietzsche, on February 16th 1882)

Amazing.

Hat tip to Burke from Bleak Theology for alerting me to its existence.

Of course this was Nietzsche’s typewriter. I mean, of course it was.

Japanese Artist - Ryoji Ikeda

Visual Art Through Large Data.

Using the entire data set of a Honda Civic, Ikeda created an audiovisual composition on a three-screen projection where the car is broken down and transformed into a series of data visualizations and sound pieces—generative blueprints—where numbers and images cascade across the screens. “It’s like a human, the many organs in it, and that inspired me,” says Ikeda in the video when talking about the car.

“I can’t figure out his hair. From the point of view of someone who is into art and form-making, I can’t figure out the structure of it: where it’s coming and where it’s going. And then I also wonder, what does he think this object on his head achieves? It’s just a great mystery.”

- Milton Glaser, to New York Magazine’s Daily Intel, on Donald Trump. Priceless.

Anita Ekberg warming up on the set of La Dolce Vita after wading in the Trevi Fountain (1959) (via)

“Anita Ekberg was a glorious apparition! She was like phosphorus, an extraterrestrial with a lunar pallor in her face and hair. It’s been a long time since I saw Anita. Watching her weather so many seasons as she has…I particularly appreciate her because in one of my films, a filmetto called Intervista, I narrated a visit with Mastroianni to her villa in the country. She’s a woman of a certain age who’s put on weight, who lives with her dogs and ducks, like a happy peasant.

And I saw she’d aged gracefully, a tranquil aging, sober, wise…She’s no longer the glorious diva, the Olympian she once was but she seems to me a beautiful example of serenity.”

-Federico Fellini, 1993 (via)
