Giant Vending Machine From 1948 (10 pics)

At one point Kedoozle was supposed to be the grocery store of the future. As you can see customers could select what they wanted through a series of windows and the items would then be dispensed to them via a vending machine. Pretty far our stuff and we're glad it didn't catch on.

Photographer Recreates Famous Portraits With John Malkovich

Renowned photographer Sandro Miller has worked together with legendary Hollywood A-Lister John Malkovich many times, but when Miller wanted to celebrate the photography greats that had inspired and guided him, he had to do something special. So he, with Malkovich as his dashing unisex model, recreated some of those influential photographers’ most important portraits in a photo series called “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters.”

The series puts both Miller’s exceptional photography and Malkovich’s masterful acting talents front and center. Miller gets each amazing portrait’s lighting, mood and composition down perfectly, while Malkovich replicates the subject’s emotions and expressions so perfectly that the photos become nearly indistinguishable, regardless of the age or gender of the original subject. And it was all done without Photoshop!

Bees and bombs blows minds. A doctoral student in Dublin, Dave Whyte has been crafting beautiful looping mathematical worlds through code. We love his work, not just for the silky smooth play but also because Dave continues to be incredibly generous with his process, often tweeting the source code for his various gifs.

The Photograph Art of Thorsten Brinckmann: “Serial Collector”


We have seen images of German-based Thorsten Brinkmann’s work in the past, but we hadn’t fully understood how big his body of work was. The element of old mastery style portraits is what initially makes the work familiar, but of course, what is going on in the photographs is something conceptual and not typical in the least.



The still-life portraits contain objects from Brinkmann’s collection, from which he calls himself a “serial collector.” A here is the kicker: Thorsten Brinkmann photographs himself in these scenes and costumes. And of course, the absence of the face is a powerful characteristic in all of these photographs.
