Richard Wiseman of Quirkology recently placed three segmented images on a brick wall and a couple of beams that come together to form an outlined cube. After lining up the images on his camera, he made the cube spin around without the use of video editing or CGI. The projected cube was one of many illusions that Richard will be presenting at the 2016 Hidden Door Festival that takes place from May 27th to June 4th, 2016 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Disconcerting GIFs Depicting the Various Ways a Human Head Can Be Digitally Deconstructed
Czech graphic artist Adam Pizurny has created a disconcerting series of GIFs that depict a human head undergoing some all sorts of digital manipulation and deconstruction in such ways as dissolving, deflating, duplicating, expanding and even sprouting a bit. According to Pizurny, his inspiration came from a childhood love of art and a need to create.
When I was a kid, I wanted to become an inventor. I fulfilled my dream but in a slightly different way. Throughout my childhood I drew on paper until I discovered graffiti and fell in love with it. Graffiti has opened doors to a wonderful world of discovering type, colors and shapes. Because I grew up alongside a computer, I have started to combine everything I love digitally, and one day someone told me it is called graphic design.

A Beautiful Long Haired Blind Cat Lives the Good Life After Being Rescued From a Life of Neglect
Moet is a beautiful longhaired champagne-colored cat who went blind due to neglect. But neither her history nor her blindness has dampened her playful spirit. Rescued and adopted by the benevolent Dr. Emily Shotter, Moet now lives a really great life in Muscat, Oman with Emily, Luna, Lily and Cosmo. Moet is also a columnist, writing for The Daily Mews.
It’s now been more than a year since I was in my “forever home”. My mum is just the best and loves me lots (I think maybe I’m her favourite, which annoys sisfurs and brofur – two of whom arrived after me – mum rescued Lily from a tiny birdcage in a horrible local market and Cosmo came from another country where he was abandoned!). We are a happy family, but sometimes I have to tease Luna to play with me. I like to play a lot. Sometimes mum says I never sit still. But I do, I like sleeping too, because there are so many nice places to curl up – my mum’s bed, three cat trees (one of which is like a real tree) and two comfy sofas. My mum also has a nice balcony, which she says she made ‘safe’ by enclosing it. We are allowed to go out whenever we like!

The Backyard Scientist and Mark Rober recently teamed up to test the strength of oobleck (a combination of corn starch and water) and give viewers tips on surviving a grenade blast. The pair put oobleck through some extreme tests by attacking it with a chainsaw, bb gun, and a propane-powered golf ball canon to see if it would behave as a liquid or solid.
For their grenade video, they test whether a person would be safer from a grenade blast on land or under water using balloons filled with a combination of air and water to stand in for humans.
