Giant Pink Bunny
Retweet
A gigantic knitted rabbit is part of an art installation on a Mountain Hill (Colletto Fava, 1600m), above the Village of Artesina in Piemonte, Italy. The artists Gelitin (a team of four creatives) took five years to hand-sew the pink bunny, and they state it will be on display for the next 20 years.
Notes from Gelitin:
'After almost 5 years of knitting the rabbit found its final place in the italian alps (close to Cuneo). It waits there to be visited by you. You might even take your time or check back every now and then as the rabbit will wait for you 20 years from now on.'

The 11th Dimension
Retweet
Julian Casablancas's lead single "11th Dimension," has Rebel Rebel keyboard chord progressions, electronic beats and an instantly memorable chorus and all in all is weird piece of music from the Strokes lead singer...weird in a good way. Its like the Strokes if they were an electronic pop band with fresh ideas. A lot of the sound is very classically in its construction, but catchy in everyway. Monday, 21 September 2009
