Darkened Cities

Ever wondered what night skies would look like without all that artificial light we create? Photographer Thierry Cohen gives us an idea by photographing cities, removing all traces of light, then dropping in incredible photos of night skies, albeit from deserted places such as Mojave Desert and the Amazon. They might not be true to life, but they're beautiful photos nonetheless.

Painting with Sound

"Like a 3-D take on Jackson Pollock, the latest work by the artist Martin Klimas begins with splatters of paint in fuchsia, teal and lime green, positioned on a scrim over the diaphragm of a speaker. Then the volume is turned up. For each image, Klimas selects music — typically something dynamic and percussive, like Karlheinz Stockhausen, Miles Davis or Kraftwerk — and the vibration of the speaker sends the paint aloft in patterns that reveal themselves through the lens of his Hasselblad."
