Technology defies the boundaries of human perception. From
photomicrography to astrophotography, size and distance are no longer
barriers, and through slow-mo and timelapse, we are allowed to see time
and humanity in a new light. Through our curiosity and thirst for the
unknown, the beauty of the universe can now be explored beyond the limits of the naked eye. Lego Art.
LEGO blocks are one of the most beloved toys in the world, playing a
role in many a person’s childhood. But for some creators, LEGO has
evolved from toy to art form. In this episode, we talk to three LEGO
artists who have made beautiful mosaics, amazing stop-motion videos,
thoughtful sculptures, and have turned these tiny building blocks into a
true artistic medium. Fan Art: An Explosion of Creativity.
The fan art community is one of the most creative and active online.
Taking pop culture stories and icons as its starting point, the fan
community extends those characters into new adventures, unexpected
relationships, bizarre remixes, and even as the source material for beautiful art. Limited only by the imagination of the artist, the fan art world is full of surprises and brilliance. |
