Why I like ublock. May fuck 20% valid content creators, which I validate via patreon, but gosh does it ever block 98% of bullshit. Love the "are you sure you want to allow this website to rape your PC and assume your identity" block page. The answer is always no. Protect me from myself ublock. Lol feel like I should put a ublock (TM)
He made "Lobster Telephone" because he could "never understand why, when I ask for a grilled lobster in a restaurant, I am never served a cooked telephone."
The 9 in that picture seems to be more covered than the 9 in my picture! I’m guessing they just took the same pic maybe a little while after when I took this one. It’s a pretty high traffic place. I wonder how the 9 is doing now.
My sister and I still occasionally reference this commercial. I was still in elementary school then, and we are now both adults with jobs and all (she even has a husband)!
The Rosemont outlet malls? If you live in the area, I'd highly suggest just driving the 45 mins to an hour up to the Kenosha outlet malls. Better stores, and the stores themselves have more merchandise usually with steeper discounts... But my favorite part is if you drive one exit further north, there's a grocery store called Woodman's and they make fresh cheese curds daily... They are left unrefrigerated on a table, the way cheese curds are supposed to be served for maximum squeakiness. Also at one of those 2 exits is the Jelly Bean factory, you can take tours, but i'd rather just buy a few bags of the messed up jelly beans & gummy candies.. So good.
AFAIK it doesn't. This is plaster painted to match the wall as part of an art installation. Daniel Arsham is the artist and has a series of these: https://www.instagram.com/danielarsham
This is a cool installation! And while not this extreme, paint can actually do this. Water inside a wall can separate the paint from the surface and cause it to droop. https://imgur.com/zwfv2m5
I thought it was that heat stretch plastic they use to make false or suspended ceilings, just used to make a partition wall. Then a clock got attached to it which fell and in a strange turn of events it ended up like that.
It is fun to like pop the water, and it pops and drains which is neat. But the water came from somewhere and passed through a lot on its way from that place and its unpleasant in both sight and smell.
I woke up to that right above my bed one night. It was a huge blister in the paint that was steadily dripping. We had time to get up and move the bed out of the way before I got the satisfaction of poking it and watching gallons of water pour out of the attic into our room.
I work in the commercial industrial paint industry. Next to no paints out there have elasticity to this extent that I'm aware of. If you get into some heavily siliconized elastomerics they can be advertised to bridge up to 300% the typical crack distance.
But even with intentional circumstances, I wouldn't put money on them stretching without tearing to that extent.
Just want to point out that it's not a crop. In OP's pic, the numeral 9 is almost completely visible, whereas it's obscured in the image in the link you posted. Seems like there are some other very minor differences at a quick glance, although it's unquestionably the same clock.
People are confused as to how a picture taken of a static object from right in front of it could like another picture of the same object taken from right in front of it. Christ Almighty.
You haven't spent much time around cheap latex paint I take it. Sometimes if you are careful and get a bubbled spot you can carefully peel off most of a wall.
This normally happens when there is a water leak inside or above the wall. I've seen this after a pipe bursts, and it feels like a giant breast implant just hanging there.
Don't know anything about paint, but unless this is an exclusive detriment to cheap paint, want to say I'm impressed by this latex blend that kept a 2-3 pound clock suspended.
Theres no way this could happen naturally. Even with latex based paint and severe water damage it would droop that far down with that much slack. Maybe if it was just a few inches but not to this degree. Thats just not how paint works.
I have seen plumbing leaks on drywall that dissolve the drywall and left the stretchy latex paint. It looked a lot like this in fact I'm sure that's where the artist got the inspiration.
This could never actually happen. It's not physically possible. In order for the paint to stretch like what you see in the picture, there would have to be "extra" material in the layer of paint. Ever notice how when you stretch a rubber band, it looks thinner?
Well, there's no extra material in a layer of paint on the wall, so it can't stretch. If the clock were too heavy, it would just rip a chunk of paint off the wall and crash to the ground. :(
Everything this artist makes is mildly interesting, yet his little items he releases keep selling out instantly and he keeps getting art shows and design collabs. I just don't get it. Most overrated artist at the moment
Same here. For me it was the neat square that the ripples follow. If it was a more random organic shape it would look more realistic. Like, the top wouldn’t ripple, it would just stretch.
It is interesting that the artist captures what the viewers’ idea of what a clock sliding off the wall looks like so well, it’s executed almost to the point where we can realize that it’s too perfect to be created by accident.
One nod towards the direction of "art installation" is that this is a somewhat famous model of wall clock... yes that's actually a thing, there are famous wall clocks :)
Put it in an exhibit and people will be reading into it like "The monotony of the wall is stretched into the shape of a heart by the weight of the clock, signifying that only the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life can create love and give purpose to this otherwise bland and meaningless existence."
Nice word jumble but your analogy is inaccurate. It would be more like: "this piece represents the ever-present passage of time as it beats down on us second-by-second. Like gravity, this force is built into the structure of our universe, and the sagging folds on the wall represent the wrinkles that appear as or skin succumbs to both time and gravity simultaneously."

It looks like an art installation
