Over the past year, I’ve run into or been referred to some remarkable pieces of interesting art. 6 are here linked for your pleasure.<\/p>\n

-The Helsinki Complaints Choir<\/a> with a song by Esko Grundstr\u00f6m, Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen. (thanks Carl<\/a> for sending this to me)<\/p>\n

–Billboard Top Song Timelapse<\/a> by R. Luke DuBois. Dubois fed 857 songs between 1958 and 2000 into his laptop and gave every week 1 second where he crunched the top song of that week. <\/p>\n

–Single-Paper Art<\/a> by Peter Callesen. Magnificent and often meaningful paper sculptures cut from one piece of paper and completely connected. (thanks Kevin<\/a>)<\/p>\n

–Animatus<\/a> by Hyungkoo Lee. Look at classic cartoon characters’ skeletons. Brilliant! (thanks again to Kevin)<\/p>\n

-The Honda Choir<\/a>. A vocal rendition of automobile sounds. (thanks to Kevin again for this one)<\/p>\n

-Rick Mercer’s Photoshop Challenges: Harper vs. Martin<\/a>, Gilles Duceppe and Jack Layton<\/a>, Peter MacKay and Stephen Harper<\/a>, Michael Ignatieff and George W. Bush<\/a>, Paul Martin<\/a>, Ralph Klein<\/a>, Jean Chretien<\/a>, and most recently Jason Kenney<\/a>. (thanks April<\/a> for telling me about Mercer’s blog)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
