If only the world of Willy Wonka were real, with skyscrapers made from caramels, chocolate rivers and cities built of shortcake and whipped cream.

Researchers have discovered an important element for making night vision possible in nocturnal mammals: the DNA within the photoreceptor rod cells responsible for low light vision is packaged in a very unconventional way.

"The Nazis, who dismissed much of the customary decoration and used only the raw, muscular elements, exaggerated the classical Roman style, which portrayed their ideal image of a strong, warlike state." picked by IlliterateMook 9 months ago 4 comments edit related share plime.com |
Game developers are unconstrained in their designs for the enemy. Such designers will be punished with poor sales, not death in the gulag, if their designs for the overlord are unpopular.

What happens when art and architecture converge, and artists are left to their own devices to transform a structure inside and out? A wild and bizarre display of works for one of the world’s most architecturally unique exhibitions, creating habitat-like structures and architectural environments that are mental and perceptual spaces as much they are physical. picked by AutumnLotus 12 months ago 3 comments edit related share arts |
