The Oddmusic Gallery

Oddmusic opens a window to the world of odd, unique, experimental and unusual music and musical instruments. Have you ever heard of a Bikelophone, a Clackamore, a Jomama, or a Tamburitza?
Shown above is a 'serpent,' an ancient musical wind instrument, related to the modern tuba, euphonium, and baritone. It is blown with a cup shaped mouthpiece which is very similar to that of a trombone. When played loudly it can produce unpleasant noises reminiscent of large animals in distress.

30 Most Incredible Abstract Satellite Images Of Earth

At ground level, one can only imagine the sheer beauty of mountain ranges, deserts and deltas seen high up from NASA's satellites.
One can imagine however, they wouldn't be quite prepared for the fact that from 400 miles away, the earth transforms into abstract art. The global landscape is impressionist, cubist and pointillist. Mother Nature is an abstract artist. LINK

Satellite Imagery as Art

Satellites take pictures of the earth for mapping, weather, science, and security. Art is a low priority when you’ve spend this much money to launch the camera! But the earth is a beautiful place, and the pictures sometimes are works of art. See Environmental Graffiti’s 30 Most Incredible Abstract Satellite Images of Earth.
The images you see below were taken at the turn of the Millennium, when NASA’s scientists had a brilliant idea: to scan through 400,000 images taken by the Landsat 7 satellite and display only the most the most beautiful. A handful of the best were painstakingly chosen and then displayed at the Library of Congress in 2000.

Buzzball

The Buzzball delivers a thrill like no other interactive ride can. At the heart of the Buzzball is a dual motor configuration, enabling the pilot to control the motion and direction of travel via left and right control triggers, which provides power to the driving wheels.
Once the Buzzball is in motion the pod maintains an upright position until the pilot turns, causing the pod to rotate inside the ball against the direction of travel, which applies a braking force and the pod to lock with the ball. This causes the pod to rotate with the ball until the weight of the pilot and pod overcomes the inertia forces and causes the Buzzball to change direction. LINK

10 Of The World's Most Amazing 3D Street Artists

3D graffiti, whether it's in chalk or paint, on walls or the street, represents a new way of combining the mastery of Renaissance art techniques with the gritty, ephemeral qualities of amazing street art.
These 3D street artists give graffiti a whole new meaning – one that departs from the conventional interpretation of graffiti as vandalism in the form of images and letters scrawled on public property. Street art that's so incredible it is almost impossible to pass by without being sucked in to the worlds they create on asphalt and concrete surfaces. LINK

Tooth "tattoos"

The Heward Dental Lab in Salt Lake City specializes in "dental tattoos," which are actually custom hand-painted crowns. Owner and main artist Steve Heward is a traditional oil painter too. The artwork on a crown costs between $75 and $500. I don't think I'd want a painted crown in my mouth but I'd love to have a collection of them in my wunderkammer. Link, Via: Boing boing
