Lost Marvels of Revolution-Era Russian Theater
Unfortunately, the photographs of the actors are all that remain of this 1908 premiere of Maeterlinck’s Blue Bird, produced by Stanislavsky. A descriptive play-by-play of the performance can be found in the 1920 book The Russian Theater Under the Revolution by Oliver Sayler (thanks, Google book search!), but all other images of this art noveau-inspired production have been lost to time, despite Sayler’s valiant attempts to preserve more for posterity, recounted in the book: I asked Stanislavsky eagerly for photographs of scenes from “The Blue Bird” or else for the original designs of the scenic artist so that I might have them copied… the photographs, I was told, were not available – except those of the players themselves – for the originals had been made by Fischer, a German, and had been destroyed in the pogrom at the beginning of the war in 1914. Yep, 1908 is definitely going to the top of my “If I Had a Time Machine” list. Well, not really!

Le light painting comme on ne l'a jamais vu
Si vous avez déjà tenté de faire du light painting, vous savez à quel point il est difficile de réaliser quelque chose de correct. Maintenant, regardez la vidéo Lightspeed et tentez d'imaginer la complexité de conception que requière une animation de ce type. Lightspeed est l’oeuvre de Darren Pearson et chacune de ses animations comprend pas moins de 1000 photos en light painting. Un défi éffarant que vous pouvez découvrir ci-dessus. Parmi les photos et les stop-motions, on découvre un bestiaire gigantesque, une etude haute en couleurs sur la faune de Californie, allant du chameau au serpent en passant par le scorpion et autres crabes. Chaque photo, chaque frame est photographié, monté, animé et signé par l’artiste. Retrouvez ci-dessus Lightspeed en vidéo et ci-dessous en GIFs et photos. GIFs via, images via
14 Rare Color Photos From the FSA-OWI
Photo by Russell Lee. Jack Whinery and his family, homesteaders, Pie Town, New Mexico, 1940. Even today, many documentary photographers will tell you they are influenced by the works of the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s and 40s. Under the direction of Roy Emerson Stryker, the FSA sent photographers to document the plight of the rural farmer during the Great Depression and the progress of New Deal programs. When the U.S. entered World War II, the photography program continued under the Office of War Information (OWI). The best-known FSA photographs are in black and white.
Drawings under the influence of LSD
These nine drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD – part of test conducted by the US government during it’ s dalliance with psychotomimetic drugs in the late 1950s. The artist was given a dose of LSD 25 and free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. His subject is the medico that jabbed him. ^ First drawing is done 20 minutes after the first dose (50µg). An attending doctor observes – Patient chooses to start drawing with charcoal. The subject of the experiment reports – “Condition normal.. no effect from the drug yet.” ^ 85 minutes after the first dose and 20 minutes after the second dose has been administered (50µg + 50µg). The patient seems euphoric. “I can see you clearly, so clearly. ^ 2 hours and 30 minutes after the first dose. Patient appears very focused on the business of drawing. “Outlines seem normal, but very vivid – everything is changing colour. ^ 2 hours and 32 minutes after first dose. Patient seems gripped by his pad of paper.

Afflicted: 11 Abandoned American Hospitals and Asylums “Open” for Exploration
With some of the most disturbing and tragic histories of any buildings in the US, asylums and hospitals are way beyond creepy . Many of them were built in the late 1800s, when “mental illnesses” (such as masturbation, menopause, and teenage rebellion) were considered dangerous enough to lock someone in an asylum. A pain-inflicting misunderstanding of mental illness combined with a chronic mistreatment of its sufferers meant that many people were never released and spent the remainder of their lives in these horrible institutions. In addition to asylums, many sanatoriums were constructed around this time to care for the poor and very sick. Utilizing radical treatments that were incredibly painful yet ineffective, early hospitals often created more suffering than good for the inflicted. To make matters worse, infectious outbreaks forced patients to be quarantined from the rest of society, further isolating them. If you decide the risk is worth the reward, we didn’t send ya. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
