Que Houxo is a Japanese artist who does live paintings. His style is quite colorful, he uses fluorescent paints with black lights. These photos are from The Paint Players event and were made by Evan Roth. The video below is from another event, but it shows what you can espect when you go to one of his live sessions. I would definitely go if I had the chance.
Work No. 990 by Martin Creed is a curtain opening and closing. Nothing more and nothing less. Just watch this video if you don’t believe me.

Gijs Gieskens is a Dutch VJ and musician who likes to make his own tools, both on the hardware and the software side. Browser Jockey is one of his projects, he wrote a set of browser scripts which he uses to generate visuals to live music. Gijs developed another tool to use with Browser Jockey: the Beat Converter. This is a little piece of hardware which translates live mucis to key presses and trigger the Browser Jockey scripts. This video explains it all.
I’m not really sure if these 2 artworks by Stéphane Dafflon, are paintings or sculptures. You can see his work till November 21st at the Galerie Francesca Pia in Zürich, Switzerland. If like these, you might want to have a look at the work of Jan Maarten Voskuil too.

This is a photo from 1976 of the Waldemarstrasse in Berlin. The wall was still white because they had just rebuild it. A few years later it was full with the typical wall paintings. This Flickr set shows you an artist in action a little further down the street.
I’m currently living in that street but I’ll soon move to a new place exactly between those 2 white walls. Weird.

No, these aren’t some abstract paintings or some generative art, but photos from the surface of Mars. The NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been orbiting Mars since 2006 at a height approximately 300 km. The MRO has a very good camera on board: the HiRISE, the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment camera, which has a resolution of a few inches per pixel. You can find more stunning photos at The Big Picture.
Levi van Veluw is a Dutch artist who uses his head as a canvas. His first pieces that I discovered were his Ballpoint series. I was also quite impressed by his Light series, where he covered his head with light generating foil. But this time he didn’t use his real head for these Veneer pieces. He used a cast of his head in almost exactly the same position as in his previous work. I’m curious to see how his work will evolve.
