How cool is this LEGO machine?


Brazilian designer Arthur Sacek created a delightful LEGO contraption that transforms a sheet of paper into a paper airplane and then shoots it in the air. The machine was all done in the name of a Super Bowl ad for Arrow Electronics, a company which specializes in distribution and value added services relating to electronic components. 


The design seems simple but it took Sacek four days to build the apparatus, using thousands of pieces (including Lego Mindstorms intelligent bricks) and lots of paper. How did he do it? Check out the behind the scenes video here.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
