A two-minute animated voyage through nature's life cycle, following the trials and tribulations of a humble apple seed. The film was kindly funded by Adobe, made using their CS4 range of software. It was produced at Nexus Productions and features a soundtrack by Jape. It was made using a mixture of stop motion papercraft and 2D drawn animation. And a "Making Of" to show how it's been done. "I had reservations about making art a business," the famous art collector Mary Boone once said. "But I got over it." Such is the tension within all artistic industries -- film, painting, theater or music, the idea of selling-out dogs them all. Are the high prices that paintings go for at Sotheby's or films sell for at Sundance indicative of their success, or their impurity? And how do you distinguish the "true" art from the art that's just hyped? Do the two have to be mutually exclusive? To read more, click here. The video assures viewers that whatever sticky notes can be reused are, but let’s just hope the notes being used are at least 50 percent post-consumer recycled. Artists should suffer for their art, but trees shouldn’t.
Sometimes you come across some interesting projects on the internet, where people are constantly striving for a new angle on creativity and design, even the things as ordinary as staples…Today, we will present you with some incredible staples art, which use tens of thousands of staples as elements to create portrait or even city. Big thanks to Rayz0r for recommending this ;)

Displayed side by side, the little videos all represent one day (from sunrise to sunset) before being synchronized to show the same time of day in each precious "mini-film."

Check out this breathtaking sculpture by artist Kasey McMahon. Composed of "steel, CAT5 and other data cables," the self-portrait 'Connected' envisions the artist as bound by digital culture, or perhaps by an eccentric cable fetish of which we're not yet aware. We're not sure of the dimensions, but it looks to be about life-size. In case you're wondering, McMahon has some other, less sober-looking works like the Compubeaver (2007) and a handful of pretty spectacular art dresses.
