New Sony Bravia ad just posted, I love these.
The third TV commercial for BRAVIA is the most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation ever undertaken. Devised by Fallon and shot over three weeks in New York, the commercial employed 40 animators from Passion and used 2.5 tonnes of modeling material.

This is my response to an image recently promoted to the top of social image bookmarking site, FFFFOUND!.

FFFFOUND! is a new-ish image bookmarking site, kind of like del.icio.us for whatever badass photography/art/design/etc. you find around the internet. Not only that though, the website itself is an aggregate cornucopia of beautiful, stimulating, cortex-crunching imagery taken from everyone else’s submissions.
Due to the incredible response to Brian Dettmer’s work, I have information courtesy the artist himself regarding some upcoming events where you can see his work in person (…)
Brian Dettmer carves into books revealing the artwork inside, creating complex layered three-dimensional sculptures.
Update: see Brian’s response in the comments.
If you didn’t go or if you’re just now getting back, there’s a lot of digital remnants from this year’s Burn. I’ve been following it all fairly closely and am posting the best of what I’ve seen. Please let me know if I’m missing anything cool.

Walter Tschinkel, entomology professer at Florida State University, has been making plaster casts of ant nests since 1982.
Kenneth Huff’s digital work combines complex geometric forms with intricately rendered texture, giving it a tangible, organic quality. He also makes 3D animations and sculpture that adhere to a similar style.
For CN’s 100th entry, and especially for new readers via 9rules or otherwise, I’ve compiled a list of my √100 favorite posts thus far, excluding the more recent ones. I’ve updated a lot of these with new content since they were first published, so even if you’ve seen them before, you might find something new.
“Adrian Ocneanu, professor of mathematics at Penn State, has designed a stainless steel sculpture depicting a 3-dimensional projection of a 4-dimensional ‘octacube’. The massive sculpture was fabricated by Penn State’s Engineering Services Shop.”
During my visit to LA this summer, I made a trip out to M&A to see Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues’s sculptural/architectural rendition of a celestial black hole, entitled Maximilan’s Schell. (…) Bails of hay underneath the structure served as a welcome place to seek refuge from the blazing LA sun/atomsphere, as the golden mylar filters out a nice chunk of the ultraviolet spectrum, creating an oasis of cool. After my rest I took some pictures (which just got props on Cool Hunting) and shot some low quality video with my digital camera.
