Here is an image from a new collection by artist/designer Mate Steinforth. His website, beautifully made, is called Mate Universe and shows off his brilliant eye for color, design, and proportion.

Del Kolve just passed this video on to me — 500 Years of Female Portraits in Western Art. Keep watching her eyes (I watched her left eye) and experience the magical morphing that occurs. The music is from an inner movement of a Bach cello suite (not sure which). The director is not credited here but he is called eggman913 on YouTube. Hypnotically beautiful.

Check out the amazing photography of Irene Müller. I’ve always loved watching cream as it pours into rich, dark coffee, and the patterns it creates. But Irene brings a whole new realm of symmetry that was too fast for my feeble eyes to catch. Holy moly!

This just in from the brilliant Robert, at flight404 ALL MANNER OF DISTRACTIONS, a fascinating interplay between matter, magneticism, and sound. Here is a description of the process, and here is part two.
