Boring still life objects turned into intriguing erotic images
Amsterdam-based photographers Blommers and Niels Schumm both studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and started working together in 1998. They operate in a zone between fashion, art and photography, with shifting perspectives, where images move back and forth between different meanings. In this shoot for Baron Magazine, Blommers and Schumm made normal objects appear erotic. ‘It’s nice that people think they are perverts, looking at these boring still lifes,’ they say.

I am prescribed Marinol for HIV/AIDS here in New York state but not allowed medical marihauna (I would be breaking the law). Marinol is a pharmaceutical made drug (synthetic) and is pure THC mixed with some sesame seed oil (I find a tea from natural pot plants is much gentler). Why am allowed THC this way, but not allowed to grow my own plants to harvest THC for cooking from plant material? Marinol is like $1,200.00 a month for my script, I could grow my own THC equivalent for $25/month (free if grown in back yard garden)! This is not fair, its forcing me to overpay for my medicine!
Salicylic acid can be obtained from the Willow tree (bark contains ). Am I not allowed to grow a Willow tree (to make tea from) as it may interfere with Aspirin’s business? Think of all the hard drugs made from poppies, yet my neighbor grows them in her fron yard (very pretty). It just does not make any sense I am allowed to have have expensive synthetic THC, but not allowed to have almost free natural THC I can grow myself.
Natural THC found in pot I find works better for me than the fake manmade stuff. I make tea to drink, butters (used for baking) and other edible products from marijuana. In the morning when I am feeling most sick, a hemp tea goes down easier than a big gelatin cap that tends to get soggy and can make me gag.

This is the kind of art that would drive my dad insane. Scott Wade uses filthy windscreens as a canvas and draws the most amazing paintings on them. Fantastic! I knew there must be a benefit in never getting your car washed. Read more
3fram.es is a website made by Eyebeam fellow Aaron Meyers. It uses your computer’s webcam to take a series of pictures and uploads them into the site’s always-growing gallery of animated gifs. There’s an iPhone app for it, too, which we used to document moments of our last tour. Gifs are great because they’re way smaller than movie files, and they’re more exciting than still images.

Man, I remember shaking my tail to Come on Eileen many moons ago — when rat-tails were a right of passage and Molly Ringwald held both the lock and the key to my tiny pitter pattering heart. Back then it was all ice-skating and fairy floss; skateboards and trading cards. It was bags of chips by the rusty school fence and sunburnt faces on crackling summer days. Read more
