POKEMONES →
The Pokemones call their public orgies ponceo. On a typical Friday afternoon in the Chilean capital of Santiago, hundreds gather in a leafy urban park for a few hours of sexual experimentation. Surrounded by passing strollers, they trade partners multiple times—mostly engaging in anonymous rounds of oral sex. When the party is over, no contact information is exchanged. Same-gender interactions are...
SKULLPHONE'S "HACKED" BILLBOARDS →
AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT SKULLPHONE HAD ACCOMPLISHED ONE OF THE GREATEST BILLBOARD LIBERATIONS OF ALL TIME… BUT APPARENTLY HE JUST PAID CLEAR CHANNEL TO RUN THE ADS AS PART OF AN “ART PROJECT.”

PUBLIC FARM 1 @ P.S. 1 THIS SUMMER →
Public Farm 1 calls for a sun shelter constructed as a butterfly roof of linked planters, a container garden in the air. Intended to be a working farm, the structure is an effort “to create a neighborhood-based ecological infrastructure,” said principal Dan Wood. Heavy-duty cardboard tubes, some as wide as yard in diameter, will be bolted together to form the pavilion. Some will be filled with...

RETROSABOTAGE →
Retrosabotage makes subversive (and often hilarious) remixes of classic video-games, including short mockumentaries explaining their backstories. For example, Pac-Man is explained as a political tool designed to stimulate consumption in Japan.
THIS JUST BLEW MY MIND →
Modernista’s new site is essentially siteless. It rests fully within Web 2.0 with a little nav bar at the top left. For example, Google their name and click on the first entry (Modernista!), and you are brought to the same results page but with that added nav bar. Click on “About” and you can go to either the Wikipedia entry for “Modernista” (which gets cookied as your default homepage) or...
ALARMISM →
A group of people who set their alarms for the 11th hour of the 11th day of every month. Not sure why i like this, but i do. I guess I just give points for creative activism.

WHAT DID WE DO TO PISS OFF THE STINGRAY'S? →
FIRST STEVE IRWIN, NOW SOME POOR LADY FROM MICHIGAN: “A Michigan woman died today after a stingray jumped out of the water and struck her in the upper body in the Florida Keys.”
UPDATE: Apparently it was a “Spotted Eagle Ray.” Sorry Stingrays, didn’t mean to jump to any conclusions there.

PHANTOM KEYSTROKER →
The Phantom Keystroker may look like a harmless circuit board, but it’s actually a devious contraption of unlimited office-based torture. Simply discreetly attach the Phantom Keystroker to any extra USB port on your victim’s computer, no drivers needed. The Keystroker emulates a keyboard and mouse and periodically makes random mouse movements and types out odd garbage text and...

SPEAKING OF BAD ADVERTISING →
AN ARTICLE ABOUT DR. ZIZMOR’S SUBWAY AD IN THE NEW YORK TIMES
“The ads also seem to celebrate typographical errors, which contribute to a look of having been cobbled together by someone who doesn’t work in graphics or advertising - which, it turns out, is the case. That someone is Dr. Zizmor.”
DESIGN POLICE →
Download and print on sticker paper, then start talking back to those poorly designed ads.
REDDIT MIGHT BE WORTH READING AGAIN →

We did this to give the smaller reddits that you are subscribed to a fair chance of getting displayed. If a particular link is very hot within its own...

"I IN THE SKY" - ART INSTALLATION IN TIMES SQUARE →
WOW. A REASON TO VISIT TIMES SQUARE: “The 50-foot-high faces that flash and twitch on a massive LED screen 48 stories above Times Square are all different. Some smile. Some scowl. Some try to look sexy. Some look like they’re ready to brawl. Unlike all the other faces in the advertising-saturated sky above midtown Manhattan, the ones in Raul Vincent Enriquez’s latest art...
