Amazing and outstanding idea. Nick Gentry made human faces with old floppy discs (and you wonder now where the floppy disks are? :D).
About Artist:
Since graduating from Central St Martins in 2006, the focus has been to explore how technological advancement is affecting society. Throughout history, information has always been recorded on physical objects. Important documents, favourite songs, videos and more were stored on mountains of tapes, polaroids, cassettes and disks. As media is rapidly absorbed into the World Wide Web the rich variety of formats of the past are becoming obsolete.
This represents a big shift away from physical, real world objects, driving towards a human existence that is ultimately governed by billions of intangible data files. This release of information from the physical form allows personal data and identities to now be revealed and infinitely shared online. At the same time many of us consider individuality and privacy to be more precious than ever. Will humans be forever compatible with our own technology?
Each floppy disk used in the paintings has a history and story of its own. It represents the increasing pace of the modern life cycle, where objects are created, used and disposed of quicker than ever. To challenge this notion, as these personal artefacts of life are cast aside, the obsolete are now given new life and a renewed purpose by using them as a medium for art.

When you look at these insects or animals from the normal distance, they look pretty (or at least not ugly), but if you have good photo camera with some macro, you can make some photos of them and they wont be so cool for your guts.

The world and the nature sooth the eye when you look at them from a close distance. Colorful and vivid insects and flowers with all of the interesting details that one might find inspiring.

First i thought that some of them are photoshoped but then i found some YouTube clips about them and find very interesting facts. I can believe that live being can climb on some crazy rock and be in very risky situation. Crazy goats!!!
It is better when you are sitting at home and watching these photos rather than be there and feel the horror and black side of these streets. Photos are edited (not real colors) but they are still outstanding. Thanks to Xavier Nuez you can enjoy in dark streets.

Nature can be so beautiful when you present it in black and white colors. If you don’t believe what i think, check these photos and say that i am wrong!
Photos of bicycles and bicycle moments from all around the world. Some of them are very happy and cool photos but there is some sad and strange moments, poor countries, and people trying to use their bicycles to avoid danger. There is even one photos where is bicycle under the water, so don’t miss this gallery.
