Android Heads Talking


I've seen these before, but now they made it to a major art show: Art Basel Miami Beach 2009, where they sell for $75,000. To me they look pretty dead in expression and manifestation, however, the possibility of being confronted with one of them (like at a border or something) seems possible in the not so far future. The heads are connected to computers behind the 3D faces.

Liu Bolin (artist)

One of Liu Bolin's art is Human Camouflage. Being Chinese he makes a political statement with being "invisible" as he blends into the pictures. It's done in a time consuming effort by painting the background on his clothes and face.

But he also has other ways of expressing himself, as you can see in the second picture posted.

Desiree Palmen (artist)

Desiree Palmen, a talented Dutch artist, uses camouflage techniques to capture incredible photographs of people blending into their surroundings.

For each photo, the artist designs a new camouflage suit, which again and again has to be made with the greatest precision, or the illusive effect will not work.

Who is Bobbito Garcia?


Kool Bob Love or DJ Cucumberslice: Basketball player, radio host, author, DJ, actor, consultant, TV host... Maybe the more fitting question is, who isn't Bobbito Garcia? One of Hip Hop's true gems, Bobbito paid a visit to the RH offices while in Chicago last month. Here he talks about his history in Hip Hop, favorite memories from the Stretch and Bobbito show, his perspective on life, and much more.
