Magic Restroom Cafe — America's First Bathroom Themed Restaurant

Magic Restroom Cafe, America's first bathroom-themed eatery, soft opened October 11 in City of Industry, one day ahead of schedule. As soon as doors parted, the tomfoolery began. The cafe lobby is adorned with both urinals and toilets, and the prime tables have showerheads fitted on the adjoining wall. Restaurant staff encourages diners to pose with all bathroom facilities.

If the imported miniature toilet bowl ceramicware used extensively by the restaurant doesn't offend you, imagine it filled with goopy brown curry. If diarrhea-looking food swimming in a toilet bowl still doesn't offend, understand the dish is named signature "golden poop" rice. Order correctly (chicken wings, Taiwanese sausage, fried tofu), and the food arrives in a miniature floor commode which was the stuff of nightmares for Western backpackers in Asia in the past.

Extraordinary Photographs of Animals Inside the Womb

The experience of most detailed embryonic animal photographs ever taken. Using revolutionary four-dimensional scanning technology, scientists have shed light on the world of animals inside the womb, including that of dolphins, sharks, dogs, penguins, and elephants. The images are from a National Geographic Documentary called “Extraordinary Animals in the Womb” and were captured by using a combination of three-dimensional ultrasound scans, computer graphics and small cameras to document the animals’ development from conception to birth. The documentary serves as “testimony to the strong relatedness of all mammals.”

The documentary specifically explores the Shark and how its cannibalistic embryos must eat their own brothers to survive; the Emperor Penguin and its egg-bound chicks that must battle the coldest weather on the planet; the Kangaroo and its underdeveloped young who will undergo an exceptionally premature birth; and the Parasitic Wasp whose larvae must hijack and exploit the body of another creature to survive.

Floating Wooden Exbury Egg House

The association of SPUD Group, PAD Studio and Stephen Turner developed the project of a floating wooden house Exbury Egg. The tiny home offers the space designed to be a temporary laboratory. There is only the minimum necessary: a shower, a stove, a seat, small storage systems and a hammock bed. The Exbury Egg uses only the sun as a source of energy. The nice wooden color creates an atmosphere of relaxation and harmony with nature. The form of the house attracts attention, and, at the same time, it is perfectly adapted to the natural landscape of the riverbanks.

Portraits of Musicians from their own CD

What better way to recreate the likeness of greats such as Jim Morrison, Michael Jackson, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, James Brown, Freddie Mercury, and Elvis than to depict them using their music as a medium Mirco Pagano and Moreno De Turco used an array of the musicians’ own albums to create portraits that stunningly capture the facial expressions and body language of each icon. But the project is more than just a tribute to thee stars. It’s part of Piracy, a campaign against illegal file sharing by the advertising agency TBWA based on the idea that these deceased musicians were cheated out of their success and ultimately brought down by music piracy. The theme is underscored in an accompany video, which shows Michael Jackson literally withering away as CDs swallow him up. 

Though the images are visually stunning, like Visual News, we’re not sure the campaign entirely adds up. Why was TBWA moved to illustrate the ill effects of Internet piracy using this particular set of musicians, most of whom worked during a time that predates file sharing and were extremely successful during their lives Let us know what you think. Are these images an interesting way to use art for a relevant cause or an aesthetically cool campaign whose politics andor execution bother you Click through to see images and video from Piracy, and head over to Behance to learn more

Interesting Hardcore Van Art!

You only have to watch shows like Pimp My Ride to see how utterly over-the-top people can go in order to make their 4 wheeled machines stand out from the crowd. So with that in mind, we’ve picked 14 vans which have been pimped out, souped up and sprayed painted to within an inch of their lives. We’re going to reserve judgement on the designs themselves, but we have to admit there are certainly more than few “interesting” artworks on display!

Bicycle Chain Sculptures of Meditative Faces

Korean artist Young-Deok Seo never ceases to amaze us with his skilled ability to turn ordinary bicycle chains into extraordinary figurative sculptures. Through his construction the artist continues to comment on man's disintegration into a mechanical universe by using a cold, hard material. Using the human form as his template, the accomplished sculptor mimics the intricate shape and curves of the human face, deep in thought, for his Meditation series.

Each of his figurative creations for this collection depicts a unique face in a moment of serene meditation. The intricately detailed visage of each large-scale structure is both meticulously sculpted and intriguingly fragmented. The disembodied heads are visually perceived as one entity despite the spaces purposely left between each chain link. From a distance, one sees only the perfect silhouette of the faces, but upon closer inspection the viewer is able to notice the textured and fragmented imperfections.
