"On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting."

Micheline Pitt and photographer Rick Miller did a great job with this pin-up style superhero shoot. We are so used to seeing the typical shoots that get so boring. This is exciting and totally has a vintage edge! Too bad there aren't that many pictures on the web for this. The one above I don't even think is apart of the set since it appears more grainy. We are looking forward to seeing more.
The Museum of Contemporary Arts of Elvas (MACE), Portugal, recently invited several artists to take part on the exhibition “Museum in ruins”.
Alexandre Farto aka Vhils and ±MaisMenos are two of the selected artists to be part of the collection of António Cachola.

The future ends up quite different then our childhood expectations. Back when we were kids we all wanted friendships with robots. If they told us back then that one day we would all own androids in the future; we would of expected something far different.

REAL DEAD ALIEN?
Here's some bizarre footage that is going extremely viral of what seems to be a dead alien. The camera man who seems to be Russian or Serbian pans the camera over the lifeless skinny wet body. I guess the alien is hanging out in the snow from an apparent UFO crash.
Is it a hoax? Is it real? If so, this kid is awfully brave to get so close to Kermit from Mars. Who knows how many diseases that thing has?
KERMIT FROM MARS?
Damn, remember the days when you had to video tape your favorite shows? Sometimes you wouldn't set up the timer correctly and completely missed the show. How about having to fast forward past all the commericals holding the stupid button? The worst was when you didn't have enough tape left...and you would have to record over something you weren't ready just yet to get rid of. As much as we miss the past, we can admit how much it sucked. LOL

SALVADOR DALI + ALICE COOPER
Alice Cooper set up his stage shows like a surrealist art performance piece and it captured the attention from Dali who later added Cooper into his own work.
It turned out that Dali and Alice were mutual fans of each other. Alice had always been into surrealism in his own art and Dali appreciated the chaos and confusion of Alice's work. There was talk of using Dali`s painting - Geopoliticus Child -as an album sleeve (for `Pretties For You`), but it didn't suit the records of the time and so was not used.
In March 1973 Dali produced the first three dimensional hologram which was of Alice, wearing a million dollars [something like $2 million - Renfield April '96] worth of jewellery including a tiara and necklace. Alice sat cross legged on a rotating base, wearing the jewels, holding a statuette of the Venus De Milo as if it was a microphone. A Dali sculpture of Alice`s brain with a Chocolate Eclair covered in ants (a Dali trademark) was placed behind him and the Hologram was taken from this set up.
At it's launch, Alice said that he loved the confusion that Dali portrayed in his work to which Dali said that "confusion was the perfect form of communication!"
The Hologram, actually called 'First Cylndric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper's Brain', can been seen at the Dali museum in Figueras, Spain and a replica is at the Dali museum in St Petersburgh, Florida. Unfortunatly, the St Petersburg museum rotates their collection every three months so check that the hologram is on display before travelling.
Footage exists of Dali and Alice together at a press conference and of the hologram shoot clips of which are featured in 'Prime Cuts'.
The cover of "Dada" is also based on a detail from a Dali painting.
