What happens when the United States is closed? We asked you to show us—to capture both areas shut down by the government and just random things you found abandoned, rusted, and closed. And from here, the US looks like a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Until now, augmented reality has been mostly used as a way of giving you more information about the world around you, but a new iPhone app uses your surroundings to remix the music you’re listening to.

Video cameras have traditionally been used to document the world in a pretty straightforward manner. But they’ve become so small, and so versatile, that you can do some incredible things with them. Like the crazy world

You missed it. On Saturday, Banksy set up a nondescript stall on the edge of Central Park, where he sold stencilled prints for $60 a pop. The monkey with a sign, the guy with the flowers, the rat with the smirk—all the classics were there. Too bad nobody wanted them.

Petting zoos are fun, but they can also be kind of sketchy. Is that rabbit being attacked by too many five-year-olds? Is that goat depressed? It’s awkward. But if the tactile experience were coming from robots and AI you might really be able to enjoy yourself.

You know what they say about people who live in glass houses—but what about plastic bubbles? For the next ten days, a British artist named Alex Schweder is occupying this teensy inflatable home—that attaches to a van via scissor lift—at the site of Philip Johnson’s famous Glass House in the name of art.

Who knew that making motorcycles out of lobster shells would be so awesome looking? They look like organically grown bikes from an underwater society.
These lobstercycles were made by Huang Mingbo from Taiwan, who presented the collection of miniature bikes at a food art seminar in the Chinese province of Fujian. He completed the collection of intricate models using lobster shells for the vast majority of construction. They even feature wing mirrors and license plates. Pretty cool.
Now I want to see spaceships made from lobster shells. That would be freakin awesome. Someone make a Millenium Falcon from lobster shells right away. Make sure you include a miniature pilot called Prawn Solo. Please do this for me Huang Mingbo.
In a film packed with great costume and set design (Leia’s buns! The AT-ATs! Tauntaun guts!), the Stormtroopers’ glistening white exoskeletons are among the most memorable details from Star Wars. Which is what makes Art Wars a lot of fun: As part of a show at London mega-gallery Saatchi, 19 artists were given a trooper helmet and told to go wild.

Breaking Bad might be over, but that doesn’t mean Walter White’s legacy is. His image, influence, and being lives on in fans of the show who have been mourning at the end of the hit series.
Another medium the show lives on is through fan artwork, such as the one that Belgian artist Adrien Noterdaem did.
He didn’t just re-draw the Breaking Bad characters in a cartoony way. He drew them following Matt Groening’s signature Simpsons style, resulting in an awesome gallery where Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, Saul Goodman, Walter White Jr, and the rest of the Breaking Bad crew get Simpsonized.
Noterdaem also did the same with the characters of Game of Thrones a few months ago.
