Naturally, when you stumble upon an abandoned ship from 1979, the given next step is to make it into the largest art piece around. DuDug, an international art collective, has taken such vessel under its wing and is transforming the once-revered cruise liner – but now rusting – Duke of Lancaster into an all-encompassing graffiti […]

Something uniquely special happens when you’re traveling. Lives intersect, cultures collide, adversity happens, and soon you lose count of all the unforgettable moments. But no matter what happens, you’re left with something that will be with you beyond the exploration and adventure — experience. Being globally connected through technology easily causes us to forget how “unconnected” the world could […]

Swimming pools and skateboards have always gone together. It was in empty swimming pools in southern Californian backyards during the 1970’s that the sport was born. Skateboards were created to mimic surfing, so it only made sense to try to carve the curvaceous walls of swimming pools in suburbia. During an iconic scene in the […]

Less is often more and in this case, artist Aakash Nihalani got it right. He creates mind-bending installations that can easily have you second guessing whether they’re real or not. Using tape as his medium and the streets as his canvas, it may seem like his work is the result of photo editing, but the closer […]

Being an avid concert goer, a music enthusiast, and having been to my share of festivals that go from dusk to dawn (I think they call those raves), there’s nothing more exciting to me than innovation in live music experiences. In November, London’s Flat Iron Square was taken over by ML Studio’s Marcus Lyall as he […]

Imaginative, creative, and dynamic aren’t words usually associated with the stagnant-florescent-lit environments of most subway stations—or any mass transit center really. Stockholm is determined to change that. In collaboration with 150 artists, the Swedish Capitol transformed 90 of its 100 subway stations into an evolving art experience. Stretching over 68.3 miles (110 kilometers), it’s easily the largest art exhibit in […]

London-based artist Slinkachu takes cues from everyday situations and, in plain sight, creates a new reality out of it. But without paying close enough attention, the hidden world could remain unseen. It’s easy to tune out our surroundings as we go about this journey called life, but in doing so we potentially miss out on the little […]

Italian artist Paolo Cirio creates figures in the public sphere using Google Street View. You’ll find Paolo’s mark all over the world — from New York to London to Berlin — in a series called Street Ghosts. In an effort to draw attention to Google privacy issues, Paolo started to plaster images on walls in Brooklyn before moving onto other major cities. […]

Darius Twin‘s re-imagination of Los Angeles, CA combines elements of light painting and photography, bringing a new spin to what street art usually looks like. Using long-exposure photography to capture the intricate paintings, he recreates an everyday setting into something that makes you second-guess what is and isn’t real. With the photos’ subjects only existing as the artist creates them and then disappearing […]

In 2011, an artist from France named JR (#nolastname #mysterious) was selected for the Ted Prize and awarded $100,000 for a global art project called The Inside Out Project. JR takes photos of people across the globe in their “true face”, and with the help of wheat paste, posts these photos in bizarre places. Since 2011, […]
