it’s dublab’s spring . if you love great music and art, consider making a donation. your contributions keep a really positive operation going strong. plus, depending on the size of your donation, you can get cool premiums like a limited edition t-shirt and mix cd’s by some of the dublab dj’s.

artist chris hansen created an installation last year of collected images that are pretty amazing. depressing and beautiful and very insightful. i’ll let chris describe them:

This series looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 410,000 paper cups used every fifteen minutes. This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. The underlying desire is to emphasize the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.

look

(thanks zac)

just saw these pics. apparently, suge knight got in a fight with a club patron and got himself .

if you need me, i’ll be on the internet finding out everything i can about this new development.

the trailer for this movie is weird and great.

(thanks, frankie.)

they say one of the hardest things to do in the art world is designing fonts.

try it for yourself online with . create, download, share your font creations.
not sure how detailed they get (can you add little lines to make gothic/old english style fonts? from the gallery, it looks like you can get pretty advanced). Looks awesome no matter what.

check these things out: they left out no details, although i’m glad they didn’t put real blades on it.

i like them more than the .

i’m pretty darn tired of the you/my/i naming convention for websites, apps, and gadgets. despite that, this thing looks cool. they describe like so:

miShare is a smart little gadget for sharing files and playlists between iPods. No computer or cable is needed, and it’s super easy to use. Just attach the source and target iPods and press miShare’s big button to start the transfer.

(thanks, frankie.)

apparently is pretty well-known, but it’s new to me. it’s a song search engine and flash music playing site. so, you can search for anything and it’s probably on there. then just click to listen immediately.
