Artist Uses Architecture To Explain Mental Illnesses

If you had to imagine your mental illness or disorder as a house, what would it look like?

Federico Babina has just released a new project called Archiatric, which depicts 16 different conditions as works of architecture in various states of repair. The designs are chillingly abstract, but for anyone living with the agony of mental illness, they’re all too accurate. An animated video posted to the Barcelona-based digital artist’s YouTube page further intensifies the effect of the images.

Babina is known for architecture-inspired work, using a unique geometric style that takes clear notes from cubism. His designs are often surreal, yet underlined with cheeky humour. [via]

How Movies Get Their Background Sounds

Have you ever thought about all the sounds that go into a movie? The sound of feet crunching gravel as the main character walks up a driveway, or a car door opening and closing, even the sound of plastic bags crinkling. It may seem like the sounds are recorded as the scenes are recorded, but that is not the case. If the movie’s main microphone was intended to catch the subtle sounds of footsteps or crinkling bags, they would also catch unnecessary background noise- like the sound of the breeze or producers talking behind the camera. Instead, all of those sounds are added in a post processing production.

Foley is the craft of making all the minute sounds that make a movie great. These artists use everyday materials, or even the exact same items the movie is portraying, and make each and every sound to match the actions of the actors. This short film has been making the rounds on social media, and for good reason, it is from the award winning short film “The Secret World of Foley,” and follows the journey of two incredible Foley artists, Sue Harding, and Peter Burgis, as they create perfect sound effects to transform a film from usual to amazing.

Vintage Photos Show A Pregnant Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe’s friend Frieda Hull took these pictures which appear to show a pregnant Marilyn Monroe, but she kept them hidden for many years.

The pictures were taken in 1960 and Frieda later told a friend that Marilyn lost the baby. The pictures sold at an auction last year and they have since caught the attention of people all over the world.

This can happen when you blink faster than the shutter on your camera

In this trippy photograph we see what happens when you blink faster than the shutter on your camera. The cause of this optical illusion is due to the camera using a “rolling shutter” in which:

A still picture is captured not by taking a snapshot of the entire scene at single instant in time but rather by scanning across the scene rapidly, either vertically or horizontally. In other words, not all parts of the image of the scene are recorded at exactly the same instant. [source]

WIM HOF "Iceman" Method: How to Never Get Sick Again

He’s nicknamed “The Iceman” for his ability to withstand extreme cold which he assigns to exposure to cold, meditation and breathing techniques. Hof has set out to spread the potential health benefits of his breathing techniques, working closely with scientists around the world to prove that the Wim Hof Method works.

It is thought from current studies that by consciously hyperventilating Wim can increase his heart rate, adrenalin levels and blood alkalinity.

Warning!!

The breathing exercise has a profound effect and should be practiced in the way it is explained. Always do the breathing exercise in a safe environment (e.g. sitting on a couch/floor) and unforced. Never practice the exercises before or during diving, driving, swimming, taking a bath or in any other environment/place where, should you pass out, a serious injury could occur.

Wim Hof breathing may cause tingling sensations and/or lightheadedness. If you’ve fainted, it means that you went to far. Take a step back next time.The cold is a powerful force.

We strongly advise to gradually build up exposing yourself to the cold. Always train without force and listen to your body carefully. If it is not practiced responsible, there is a risk of hypothermia.

Do not practice the method during pregnancy or when having epilepsy. Persons with cardiovascular health issues, or any other (serious) health conditions, should always consult a medical doctor before starting with the Wim Hof Method.

Bullet Got Stuck In A Tree

One of the World's Oldest Reading Rooms at the University of Oxford

Built in 1487, Duke Humfrey’s Library is the oldest reading room in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.

Duke Humfrey’s Library is named after Humphrey of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Gloucester, a younger son of Henry IV of England. He was a connoisseur of literature and commissioned translations of classical works from Greek into Latin. When he died in 1447, he donated his collection of 281 manuscripts to the University of Oxford.

Photographer David Iliff, who took this incredible series of images and shared them on Wikipedia adds:

This collection of images of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, while not of the most impressive library interior, are actually extremely rare, and most likely the best images of the interior available anywhere online.

Photography of this library, which dates as far back as 1487 during the Medieval period, is usually completely prohibited as it contains many priceless original books, including manuscripts of the gospels of the Bible from the 3rd century, a Shakespeare First Folio and a copy of the Gutenberg Bible (one of 42 left in the world).

I was only allowed to publish these images on the condition that they be limited to 4 megapixels in resolution so unfortunately this is as detailed as they get. Although I do have 40 megapixel images on my hard drive, that’s where they will have to remain. [source]

The Myth Behind The Chinese Zodiac

What’s your sign? In Western astrology, it’s a constellation determined by when your birthday falls in the calendar. But according to the Chinese zodiac (生肖), it’s your shuxiang, meaning the animal assigned to your birth year. Of the many myths explaining these animal signs and their arrangement, the most enduring one is that of The Great Race.

Megan Campisi and Pen-Pen Chen recounts this classic myth.
