cool things of the week #16

Happy almost Friday!

1. "Autonomous Machines" by Echo Yang

If you've ever thought about what would happen if you gave a windup toy a paintbrush, this project is for you. It is literally windup toys given the chance to make art with their movements. So cool!

2. The Mini Museum

This little project (now on Kickstarter) is a really neat idea—it's literally a desktop size museum of all the important historical artifacts you would think of: fossils, mummy wraps, coal from the Titanic, and a piece of Apollo 11 (among others). It would be so cool if this got funded and was available for purchase!

3. Old Paintings of London Inserted Into Modern Photos

The only credit for this project is to a Redditor named Shystone, but it's a really interesting project—old paintings inserted into modern photos of the same place, and done so seamlessly. This makes me want to go back to London!

4. Famous Artists as Cats by Elly Liyana

Art & cats are literally two of my most favorite things so I loved this project just from the headline. But it's also so well done! Andy Warhol is my favorite. Each cat incorporates the artists' style so nicely.

Have a great end of the week!
