Canadian Astronaut tweets from space: what a space oddity
this clip has only been seen by 12 million people, and i wasn’t one of them until now, but i love it. i wish i was there, up there, if not then under the sea… canadian astronaut, chris hadfield, was up there and he has been tweeting everything from how to make a sandwich in space to pictures of earth from strait of dover to london-town. this is his farewell piece on his way back to earth, a cover of bowie’s space oddity in zero g. i wonder what i would have done if i was up there… probably a version of planet claire with pp! by dd

starshift featuring hilary rhoda: piloted by captain santiago and mauricio
daft punk never looked this good. sorry hedi.
the power is in your hands in starshift, a film by our friends the dynamic duo santiago and mauricio. inspired by 8-bit video games and their dad’s all time favorite film, kubrick’s 2001: a space odyssey, the siblings created the interchangeable shorts featuring a helmeted hilary rhoda in four striking looks. her custom made, high-tech headpieces were added in post-production. “we wanted to explore beauty through a playful lens by creating conceptual helmets that would encase facial creations,” says santiago. “they’re a metaphor that makeup can be a shield to combat everyday life with.” and hell, do i need a shield to fend off everyday life… by uh
domplatz
this is my favorite period of richter, the blurred photo paintings and portraits, but this is not one of my favorites in the batch and thank god. this one sold on tuesday for 37 million, that’s ten times the price it sold for just 15 years ago at 3.5. don bryant, founder of napa valley’s bryant family vineyard is the new happy owner. i’m sure he really gets ‘art’ just like his wines. pay him a visit. by dd
