Street art photography takes many forms. Photographers enjoy capturing magnificent beauty of urban areas of cities from around the world. This fine photo art has produced some wonderful series of images such as this amazing series here. The main motive of these images are Urban Mirrors that can be find in the city at night and low light conditions. A really nice usage of long exposure photography, I’d have to add.
Banksy – Street Graffiti Artist That Makes You Wonder

A girl who is flying over the wall between Palestine and Israel.
It makes one stop and think about the two sides of the conflict and how the other is perceived by each side. This image seems to suggest that Palestinians believe that life on the other side of the wall is more peaceful and fruitful, without considering their own stance in life.
Banksy, as a example of both a contemporary artist and a street artists, makes one wonder about how art can influence society. Do spray-painted images such as the one above really make people stop and reflect on the issues it addresses? In terms of a topic, I may want to learn more about contemporary street art and it’s impact on society. It would also be interesting to focus on Banksy as an example of an activist who is trying to bring about change through a medium we have not looked at yet-art.
Here are some of Banksy’s his sayings:
We can’t do anything to change the world until capitalism crumbles. In the meantime we should all go shopping to console ourselves.
When you go to an art gallery you are simply a tourist looking at the trophy cabinet of a few millionaires.
Sometimes I feel so sick at the state of the world I can’t even finish my second apple pie.
Think from outside the box, collapse the box and take a f***ing knife to it.
Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.
If you want someone to be ignored, then build a life-size bronze statue of them and stick it in the middle of town.

Artist Scott Campbell has effectively displayed us that with dozens on one dollar bills and some precise cutting you can create some amazing One Dollar Art which is a series of laser-cut etchings, each on a stack of $1 bills. Kind of a crime against the nature, to ruin your dollar bills. Although, everything goes when it comes to art. We hope that his investment pays off in the end.

Body Part Bread – Sold at a bakery in Thailand
November 10, 2009 by admin
Filed under Art and Design, Featured
Artist Kittiwat Unarrom’s father owns a bakery in Ratchaburi. To attract attention for the business he creates some of the world’s more unusual breads! All of Kittiwat’s creations are of human parts of the body in various stages of, shall we say, disrepair! The results are unnervingly realistic with eyes, lips and other details constructed out of cashews, raisins and the like. A lack of hair and blood-like glazes make the work all the more creepy.
Sold at his family’s bakery, Thailand, he displays the parts wrapped like food in plastic and hung from meat hooks. Apparently, the art is in fact edible and tastes like regular bread.
Kittiwat says that the bread heads are not designed for human consumption, but mainly to place in the window of the bakery to attract attention. The shop is in a small town in Thailand about 65 miles east of Bangcock.
It’s not just head. You can buy a wide assortment of parts to, we suppose, temporarily decorate your home.
Eeewwww. I’m not even sure Tony Montana would enjoy a loaf of theis bread.

Human and Robots: Visions of the Future
September 17, 2009 by admin
Filed under Art and Design, Featured
The future is not written yet and who knows weather robots are dangerous or not. What is for sure is that humans, being the curious beings, will develop new advanced generations of robots. Robots and other high-performance inventions have always been of a vast interest for humanity. A great number of scientists have spent the whole life in their laboratories with one aim – to work out innovative schemes, develop them and create some highest qualitative ranking robot. This engrossing process has reached its peak with the technical push that took place due to the endeavors of a number of brilliant and clear intellects of scientists all over the world.
The most striking fantasies in this sphere are brought successfully into reality and a great number of robots are in service of people in order to make the process of work or manufacturing automatic. It happens so that people and robots go together in this life side by side, in some spheres of life they are even interchangeable and who knows into what this opposition “Human and Robots†will translate.
There are two perceivable outcomes:
Robots and humans that live and prosper together…Or robots realize they don’t need as that much…

Who will win in this game of chess? When there is the opposition of the mechanical creature and the human intellect it is not easy to predict the outcome of the game. You can make books, but you will never be sure about the results, they are unpredictable.
