Euthanasia Coaster 2:32 PM
“Euthanasia Coaster” is a hypothetic euthanasia machine in the form of a roller coaster, engineered to humanely – with elegance and euphoria – take the life of a human being. Riding the coaster’s track, the rider is subjected to a series of intensive motion elements that induce various unique experiences: from euphoria to thrill, and from tunnel vision to loss of consciousness, and, eventually, death. Thanks to the marriage of the advanced cross-disciplinary research in space medicine, mechanical engineering, material technologies and, of course, gravity, the fatal journey is made pleasing, elegant and meaningful. Celebrating the limits of the human body but also the liberation from the horizontal life, this ‘kinetic sculpture’ is in fact the ultimate roller coaster: John Allen, former president of the famed Philadelphia Toboggan Company, once sad that “the ultimate roller coaster is built when you send out twenty-four people and they all come back dead.”

Philip Kwame Apagya 12:15 PM
Philip Kwame Apagya is a Ghanaian artist whose color photographs reflect a contemporary twist on traditional West African portraiture. In Apagya's photos, subjects interact with his brightly painted 2-D backdrops, interiors and exteriors that catalogue the trappings and accoutrement of an affluent international culture. Subjects inhabit faux living rooms showing library shelves or consoles stuffed with expensive electronics, or chat on cell phones standing before home computers, or prepare to board that international flight to happiness. While Apagya's photographs reflect a young and prosperous generation of consumers, one can imagine that for some, the photographs also present a "reality" beyond their means.

Actually Gilad lives and works in New York City, his hybrid objects combine material wit with aesthetic play; they sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional. Gilad is fascinated with philosophizing about the common objects we live with.

Erotic voyeurism 11:14 AM
Just look at this. Even without knowing what is the exact context, the intense directional swift that this composition holds is enough to drive you to conjure up ambivalent meanings and multiple interpretations. But knowing that the White House is watching a video, shot from helmets of special unit soldiers, facing Osama Bin Laden as he’s being killed in a military operation, elevates this moment to erotic vividness. The intensity of the faces as a source of creation, the body language which enhances males' manhood and females' womanhood, and the intimacy that allows into such a moment in the depth of the White House.
Is there any better way to look deep into the blinded moral devotion of a nation?

Al Johnson, illustrator, fine artist, educator and mentor has developed an inclusive vision that captures the Classical, weaves it with the contemporary and refracts it through the prism of his remarkable individuality. While formally trained in the techniques of the Great Masters, Al Johnson’s art, in fact, goes to the essence of jazz in that it brings together many influences while celebrating individuality. Mr. Johnson honed these skills, while attending famed institutions such as Pratt Institute, the Albert Pale School of Commercial Arts and the Arts Student League.
