Would a Pink ‘NaziSexyMouse’ Upset Poland Any Less?

via ANIMAL by Marina Galperina on 7/12/10

A swastika art show banner in western Poland is causing controversy. Public display of swastikas is illegal in Poland, punishable by 8 years in prison, but the curators insist on the banner’s allowed artistic context.

Already, vandals tore a gaping hole in the banner and it had to be replaced by the gallery. Because of the context, no legal action will be taken against the gallery.

The original work by Italian digital artist Max Papeschi has a pink background. The art show banner is red, which makes it look more like the original Nazi flags that once hung in occupied Poland. Does that mean that the intentionally shocking body of work wasn’t shocking enough for the curators and they needed some extra PR? Judge for yourself.

Apparently, Curb Your Enthusiasm has been filming in NYC and one fan tried to get Larry David to take a quick photo with him, which, as you can imagine, didn’t go over too well. But we urge the public to try again: this week they’re shooting near Times Square.

via ANIMAL by Marina Galperina on 7/15/10

David LaChapelle’s newly opened solo exhibit at Paul Kasmin Gallery features the divine adventures of Michael Jackson, conveniently shot just a year before the death of the “modern martyr.” Also: a critique of the Catholic Church’s corruption with vague bondage and much bling and Rape of Africa, a spin of glamorized politics over Botticelli’s Venus & Mars (the possible “acid trippers”). Preview the work below.

After almost three months, BP says it has finally stopped the oil flood, prompting one of their vice presidents to get a little ahead of himself with this quote considering the 184 million or so gallons that have spewed since the incident: “I am very excited that there’s no oil in the Gulf of Mexico.” Evidently, they figured out how to get one of their caps to fit over the damn thing, but still need to permanently seal it before we all start celebrating. |NYT|

Audi's Sound Concept cabin defines auditory excess: 62 speaker surround-sound

via Engadget by Tim Stevens on 6/18/10

If you've been bragging about your all-encompassing 7.2 surround-sound system to of your friends, prepare for a mighty dose of humble pie. Audi has hand-crafted what it calls the Sound Concept, an in-car sound system so excessive it should be able to cause your soft, fleshy bits to pulsate in new and exciting ways. There are five tweeters scattered across the dash and the doors, five woofers (four in the doors and a monster in the back), and then a whopping 52 mid-range speakers encircling the entire enclosure, creating a package that's not likely to show up in the options catalog anytime soon. All these have been wedged into the interior of a Q7 SUV in the interests of Wave Field Synthesis, minimizing a user's ability to hear specific speakers -- and blowing Audyssey's paltry 11-speaker DSX system right out of the water.
