  • Creepy and cool art that can melt your face into your phone!

    Creepy and cool art that can melt your face into your phone!

    If you ever saw someone’s face literally melt into their faces, then you will appreciate this artwork from French photographer Antoine Geiger..

    I saw the artwork originally on CREATOR’S PROJECT.. 

    The report,

    “The project came spontaniously,” Geiger tells The Creators Project. “All of a sudden I would be on the metro or in the museum and feel on my own while it’s crowded. I could literaly see people’s faces melting on their screens, like their identity was being lost in the non-space of technology, like the spacial dimension of the present has been outstretched.” A bit of post-processing in Photoshop, and his eerie feeling was visualized. 

    The photos are chillingly weird and actually quite real–you can almost envision the melting of someone’s complete emotional existence into their smart phones..

    HERE IS THE ART WORK .. it’s awesome. 

  • Radio stations are being hacked to play ‘F*ck Donald Trump’ on a loop

    Radio stations are being hacked to play ‘F*ck Donald Trump’ on a loop:

    From the article:

    The hackers are reportedly commandeering the LPFM stations to broadcast “F*ck Donald Trump,” the protest anthem from rappers YG and Nipsey Hussle, on an endless loop.

    The days of old fashioned hacking back?! Just like the days of hijackings in a Max Headroom style..

     

  • The Evolution of High-Tech Horror Movies, From ‘Dot.Kill’ to ‘Rings’

    The Evolution of High-Tech Horror Movies, From ‘Dot.Kill’ to ‘Rings’

    The Evolution of High-Tech Horror Movies, From ‘Dot.Kill’ to ‘Rings’ :

    This is what happens when horror is done right: Modern technology becomes frightening.

    The days of VHS are gone. But they can equally be scary (Such as VHS, the movie) …

    The original RING film was a classic for me.. I brought my entire family and lots of friends to see it in theaters in the early part of this century.. But kids of today? They just don’t get it. They know more about the RING from the SCARY MOVIE parody series than by watching it themselves.. and .. VHS!? A Tape!? What in the world is such an antiquated thing!

    The newest RING is promising to merge the old nostalgia of VHS with modern technology.

    As THE WRAP reports in the aforementioned link, the RING is not alone. UNFRIENDED was one of my favorites..

    Modern era tech can be scary.
    You know why? Because even though technology advances the frightening people who sit behind a computer screen are still the same..

  • Lady Gaga in a bra, a sneak peak of the new Super Bowl Pepsi…

    Lady Gaga in a bra, a sneak peak of the new Super Bowl Pepsi…

    Lady Gaga in a bra, a sneak peak of the new Super Bowl Pepsi commercial .. set to start a stir.
    By the time the halftime show rolls, we will wonder if we are shaken or stirred..

    There is a high degree of attention being paid or the show this year. Hollywood and showbiz has taken to the airwaves to protest every move Donald Trump makes. If things go as some hope, Gags will make a political statement. In that light, there is already online petitions asking her to be BANNED> Because we have become frightened of FREEDOM OF SPEECH in Amurica…?

    Regardless, I am intrigued as well by whether the LADY will make her appearance political in nature.

    I predict this: We will hear some old songs..we will hear Poker Face.. we will see Patriots fans dancing (before and after the game, I predict as well) …and we will get a covert statement. Nothing overt.

    But that’s just me.. and my little zany prediction…
    The game time is coming. We will see soon.

  • Clive Barker Will Develop $300,000 Horror Movie With Winner of Upcoming Contest

    Clive Barker Will Develop $300,000 Horror Movie With Winner of Upcoming Contest

    Clive Barker Will Develop $300,000 Horror Movie With Winner of Upcoming Contest :


    From Feb. 13 to March 17, filmmakers can head projectgreenlight.com to upload a pitch (one to three minutes) of an original horror film concept. Ten semi-finalists will be selected and voted on by the public as well as a judging panel. The winner of the audience vote will advance, along with four chosen by the judges. Those five finalists will receive funding to shoot a short scene to show off their chops.

    In June, the finalists will be invited to the second annual Shudder Labs, a creative retreat where they will receive more guidance on how to enhance their scenes. Then one winner will be selected to develop their film with Barker serving as executive producer.

    Such a good idea.. Inventive.
    And it continues to help in the modern rebirth of horror..
    Will be watching ..

    The End of Employees. The Wall Street JOURNAL reports :

    Robots yes. Technology yes. But another thing workers are facing is the end of employment and the dawn of the age of the contractor .. for better or for worse ..

    The WALL STREET JOURNAL reports on part,

    The contractor model is so prevalent that Google parent Alphabet Inc., ranked by Fortune magazine as the best place to work for seven of the past 10 years, has roughly equal numbers of outsourced workers and full-time employees, according to people familiar with the matter.

    About 70,000 TVCs—an abbreviation for temps, vendors and contractors—test drive Google’s self-driving cars, review legal documents, make products easier and better to use, manage marketing and data projects, and do many other jobs. They wear red badges at work, while regular Alphabet employees wear white ones.
