What do art, boats, and radio noise have to do with each other? If you’re the fine folks at Soundwalk Collective, the answer is everything! Their new composition, Medea, was recorded over a two-month crossing of the Black Sea, cutting together captured sounds and radio signals from all across the region. This otherworldy installation will be premiering at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France on May 4th.

The Art of Flipflop
Here at MYOO, we like to spotlight those who are doing good and making something beautiful. Case in point, the FlipFlop Recycling Company. FFRC travels the world’s coastlines collecting flipflops that were lost at sea and left behind. Local artists and craftsmen then use the discarded footwear to create beautiful works of art, household items, and fashionable accessories. Learn more at the link below!

Tiny Grub
Artist Jessica Hlavac cooks up food that’s more than a little unique. You see, all her “dishes” are miniature; tacos, pizza, sushi and pie, all smaller than a dime. Don’t expect to eat these delicious looking creations however, as they’re made from clay, pastels, and varnish. Not as tasty as they look–though probably pretty low on calories.

Ingrid Nelson’s Pavement Trees
Over the past year, professional photographer Ingrid Nelson has been working on a series of remarkable photos using her camera phone. This series of images, called Pavement Trees, was created between November 2010 and May 2011 in the parking lots of local supermarkets in Nevada County. “My ultimate goal as a photographer is to take something mundane or otherwise unnoticed and celebrate it’s beauty” Ingrid says. The results of her efforts are these stunning images which transform cement and reflection into something truly celestial.

A Living Art Village
1000 cans of paint. 8 artists. 2 weeks. 1 Village. This past October, a group of world class street artists from Wide Open Walls traveled to The Gambia on a special mission: to participate in an art safari that would transform rural Africa into a living art village, and in the process bring focus and money into the African heartland. From life-size giraffes to slumbering elephants, the results are stunning. Take our safari tour of photos from the front line.
