Intermission: Sick Beats Made From Paper and Scissors
- Pete(r) Karinen wrote in Creativity and Video
Musician-slash-beatmaker-slash-innovator-slash-artist-slash-all-around-badass Andrew Huang gets inventive and makes a hip-hop beat out of a giant piece of paper. And the beat is fly like a paper airplane. He should call it “hip-pulp music.” Now all he needs is a “wrapper.” Okay, I’ll stop.

People Are Awesome: Teen Ballerina Shames Seventeen Magazine To Stop Photoshopping
Julia Bluhm of tiny Waterville, Maine was fed up with opening the pages of Seventeen Magazine to find pixel perfect images of girls touched up and thinned down with the magic wand of Photoshop. So she did what any social media savvy young person would—she ascended her digital soapbox. Nearly 86,000 Change.org petition signatures later, her digital organizing has rattled the windows of a 17th floor Manhattan office.

This is not a fluffy mass of cotton strung up in a room. It’s an actual, man-made cloud.
That’s not photoshop; that’s an actual cloud hovering inside an actual room. Artist Berndnaut Smilde merges art and science to create small man-made clouds that exist — albeit for just a moment — indoors.

Intermission: Acrobatic Ballet
Acrobatic ballet is a relatively new concept, and no one has mastered it like the Chinese. Dancing in pointe shoes seems hard enough, but imagine doing it on someone’s head. These dancers combine the grace of ballerinas and the strength of gymnasts to create something truly spectacular.
