Using cutting-edge 3d printing technology, Professor Neri Oxman and the Mediated Matter Group at MIT have designed a series of five death masks that explore the formulation of cultural heritage and speculate about the perpetuation of life, both culturally and biologically. With high-resolution material modeling, multi-material 3D printing, and synthetic biology, they bridge the gap between the digital and physical world and create the death mask’s deeper meanings through modern toolsets, thus bringing it back to life. Here, we unveil the second series.

Hey! I added these guys to my INPRNT shop today! Feel free to check em out. I hope to one day obtain a printer of my own so that I can make more affordable prints for all my friends.. but for now, INPRNT has been pretty reliable so far. Thanks for looking!

Der Bamberger Totentanz

This fantastic rococo take on mortality and the Danse Macabre can be found in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. It is a grave in the Abbey’s church, created in the 1730′s by an unknown artist.

The Death blowing soap bubbles and chasing cherubs, all done in lovely pastel hues of cream and light blue? Can’t get any more rococo than that! 

Happy Halloween!

Paper Waves

Italian artist Daniele Papuli uses paper with brio that perfectly reproduces the visual effect of waves, with their reflections and their shades. A surprising art form that requires numerous hours of concentration and an impressive sense of detail.

JOIN ME IN THE HORROR THAT IS THIS HOUSE LISTING

Was someone murdered in the kitchen?

“Unique one of a kind finishing completed by a professional!”

Unique is one way to put it. Cursed is probably more accurate.

WHAT EVEN IS THIS??

I can’t even see some of these rooms. I literally can’t see them.

Oh my god

If Elly Kedward were the editor of Better Homes and Gardens.

Tumblr…what the hell is this?

oh my god

oh. my god.

what is happening

why is it happening

how long did this take because it seems like there should have been plenty of opportunities to stop this from happening

my great-grandparents lived on forty acres in the woods and they had a big green building that they used for storage, it was the size of a house but it was just a warehouse of every piece of furniture or book or appliance they’d ever owned for like a hundred years because they were too poor to throw anything out. i mean that in the sense that they always needed replacements on hand in case something broke but i also mean in the sense that they could not afford the price of admission to the landfill because they were too rural for trash pickup. anyway that creepy rotting old building full of creepy rotting old things, and the various small animals that lived there, that is the vibe that i’m getting from all this.

oh my god his website has a poetry section i

i turned off noscript but it still looks like this

that page goes on for like a mile this is like the timecube of houses

Alright, after a tiny bit of digging, I have an explanation…sorta.

They’re individual art pieces based on poems written by said professional.  

And there’s a lot of historical research involved

A Site-Specific Installations by SOFTlab

SOFTlab is a design studio based in New York City. The studio was created by Michael Szivos shortly after receiving a graduate degree in architecture from the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia University. The studio has since been involved in the design and production of projects across almost every medium, from digitally fabricated large-scale sculpture, to interactive design, to immersive digital video installations. As the studio adjusted to a wide range of projects, we began to focus less on the medium and style and more on ideas. Stay updated by following SOFTlab on Facebook and Instagram.
