DIY-Papercraft-Torso with removable Papercraft-Guts
Vor einem Jahr bloggte ich über Heinz Kiechles Papercraft-Torso with removable Papercraft-Guts, jetzt hat er PDF-Templates und genaue Bastel-Anleitungen online gestellt, mit denen man sich selbst Papier-Herzen und -Lebern in einem DIY-Oberkörper bauen kann. Nice! (via Colossal)

More mysterious Paper Sculptures in Edinburgh
Letztes Jahr hatte eine ziemlich belesene Unbekannte in Edinburgh Skulpturen aus Papier in Büchereien und bei Literatur-Events hinterlassen, dann verschwand sie und keiner weiß bis heute, wer das war. (Man weiß nur irgendwoher, dass es eine Frau ist.) Well, guess who’s back. (Bild oben: Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island, Bild recht: Peter Pan.)
Each day [last] week, a clue has been released that leads to one of the sculptures. On Monday, Emma Lister, a teaching assistant at Glasgow University, found a piece inspired by Alasdair Gray’s Lanark at Glasgow School of Art, and on Tuesday Stranraer student Jemma Dornan tracked down a sculpture based on Robert Burns’s poem Tam o’Shanter in the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Alloway. Wednesday saw a class of pupils from Eriskay Primary School find the third sculpture, inspired by Compton Mackenzie’s classic novel Whisky Galore, at the island’s Am Politician Lounge Bar, and on Thursday Stephen Ryan found a Peter Pan book sculpture in the birthplace of his creator JM Barrie, Kirriemuir.

Colorful Papercraft Chef Masks
Schickes neues Projekt von Zim and Zou (hier auf Behance) aus Frankreich, deren Papercraft Retrotech und den Burger aus buntem Papier ich vor ein paar Weilen gebloggt hatte. Jetzt machen sie tolle Papiermasken zum 30sten Geburtstags des Restaurants Au Bon Gîte, inspiriert durch die Geburtstagsmenüs. Sehr schicke Arbeiten.
This year marks the 30th birthday of the gastronomic restaurant Au Bon Gîte. The Chief has prepared special bimonthly menus to showcase unique offerings to celebrate throughout the year. Composed in harmony, as the expert layering of flavors, the elements of each mask will reveal the personality of the Chief’s menu.
Chef’s Mask I represents the various ingredients used to cook the first menu: onions, peas, asparagus, rice, ham on the bone, and strawberries. Chef’s Mask II represents […] the second menu : turnips, poultry, morels, crayfish, lemons, oranges, chocolate. Chef’s Mask III[…]: carots, swiss chards, green beans, squab chops, trout filets, gnocchis, bergamots, ice cream…

Papercraft Nipple Burlesque-Things
Burlesque-Dingsbums für Nippel aus Papier (via Cool Hunting): „FOR MORE FUN THAN YOU THOUGHT POSSIBLE WITH PAPER, SIMPLY CUT ROUND THE DOTTED LINES AND STICK.. An original commission for Coco de Mer, these postcard packs, include everything you need for immediate nipple tassle action.“
Die Dingsbumse heissen eigentlich Quasten oder Bommel oder was weiß ich, beim Googlen bin ich noch auf Nippeldeckel und Nippelhütchen gestoßen, aber das sind alles Worte, die ich nicht mit Nippel in Verbindung bringen will. Bei Nippelquaste denke ich an ‘ne ansteckende Krankheit und nicht an Nippeldingsbums. Nippelbommel ist mir dann auch zu albern, außerdem hat das Wort einen zu gleichmäßigen Silbenrythmus. Nippelschmuck ginge noch, aber das schließt auch Piercings mit ein, der Fachbegriff wäre also Nippeldeckel oder Nippelquaste, was beides eher suboptimal ist. Nippelhütchen ist zu altbacken und das englische Wort Nipple Tassle ist auch nicht wirklich sexy, daher bleibe ich bei einem entschiedenen Nipple Burlesque-Thing. Aus Papier.
Realistic 3D-Papercraft-Heads
Bert Simons macht realistische Büsten aus Papier und ich mag die Foldouts fast noch lieber. Is’ nix neues, die Arbeiten von Bert hatte ich aber noch nicht. Das hier ist übrigens Mr. Ivo Opstelten, Bürgermeister von Rotterdam (1999-2009). (via Creators Project)
Anatomical Cross-Sections in Paper
Lisa Nilsson macht Menschenscheiben aus japanischem Papier und alten Büchern.
These pieces are made of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books. They are constructed by a technique of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper called quilling or paper filigree. Quilling was first practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks who made artistic use of the gilded edges of worn out bibles, and later by 18th century ladies who made artistic use of lots of free time. I find quilling exquisitely satisfying for rendering the densely squished and lovely internal landscape of the human body in cross section.
The mysterious Paper Sculptures of Edinburgh
Die Story verfolge ich bereits das ganze Jahr, jetzt hat sie endlich mal jemand komplett aufgeschrieben. Im März 2011 fand man in der Scottish Poetry Library in Edinburgh eine Skulptur aus Papier zusammen mit einer Nachricht an den Twitter-Account der Bibliothek: „It started with your name @byleaveswelive and became a tree.… … We know that a library is so much more than a building full of books… a book is so much more than pages full of words.… This is for you in support of libraries, books, words, ideas….. a gesture (poetic maybe?)“
Die Skulptur wurde von einem Unbekannten hinterlassen, keiner wusste, woher sie kam. Die Skulptur bestand aus einem Baum und einem aufgebrochenen Ei, das mit Gold ausgelegt und voller Papierschnipsel war, die zusammengelegt das Gedicht „A Trace of Wings“ von Edwin Morgan ergaben. Zwei Monate später fand man in der National Library of Scotland die nächste Skulptur und eine weitere fand man kurz danach in einem Arthouse-Kino mit folgender Nachricht: „For @filmhouse – A gift in support of libraries, books, words, ideas….. and all things *magic*“.
So ging das weiter, bis zum Ende des Jahres. Papierdinosaurier aus Arthur Conan Doyles „The Lost World“, eine Jekyll & Hyde-Skulptur im Robert Louis Stevenson-Raum im Writers Museum, ein Drachennest im Scottish Storytelling Centre. Wahrscheinlich die schönste Story des Jahres, unbedingt komplett lesen und ansehen, hier das Posting mit allen Updates: Mysterious paper sculptures, hier das Flickr-Set. (via Laughing Squid)
Undestructable iCases made from Paper you can draw on

Our products are made of organic materials. Their skin is our patented paper composite which consists of several alyers of paper and bio-polymers. The other ingredients are cotton, sheep wool produced by happy Australian sheep and a pull-strap made from hemp fibers.
Have a look around and ask yourself: why are most sleeves or covers for mobile elctronic devices made from plastic? You may find that plastic lasts for a long time – in most cases it lasts a lot longer than desired and therefore becomes a problem to dispose of. If most electronic devices are designed to last just a couple of years, why do you need a sleeve that lasts for eternity? Paper is a soothingly analogue material – the perfect counterbalance to the metal and plastic world that surrounds us. Paper ages in grace, it becomes increasingly valuable as it collects marks and traces and by doing that it becomes a canvas for your own memories: it begins to tell your story. That’s why we use paper.

Mac ‘n’ Cheese on Vimeo: Mac 'n' Cheese is an animated short directed and created by four students at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. This roughly two minute animation took about five months to make, and about a bajillion peanut butter sandwiches.Synopsis: When you find yourself running scared and running out of energy, there's only a few options left to outrun your opponent through the southern desert. Stopping at nothing, watch these two guys wear each other out and rip through boundaries hitherto unbroken.

Hofmann’s Potion (LSD documentary) – YouTube: The documentary delves into the little known early history of the world's most notorious psychedelic.Long before Timothy Leary urged a generation to "turn on, tune in and drop out," lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, was being used by researchers trying to understand the human mind. This documentary is a fascinating look at the story of "acid" before it hit the streets.Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hofmann's Potion is much more than a simple chronicle of the drug's early days. <br />
With thoughtful interviews, beautiful music and stunning cinematography, it is an invitation to look at LSD, and our world, with a more open, compassionate mind.
The Bible of Western War, Now Featuring Cartoon Animals | Danger Room | Wired.com: On War is Clausewitz’s attempt to distill warfare down to its enduring essentials. Its only equal is Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. If you’ve heard the phrase, “war is politics by other means,” you know the nickel version. If you want to go for the jackpot, stroll over to one of the war colleges or onto any military listserv to hear people debate Clausewitz’s relevance to their pet issue or dispute what he really said like he was Marshall McLuhan in Annie Hall.But if you’d like something in between, Fitzgerald’s Clausewitz for Kids blog is slowly recasting On War, section by section, into a lecture series in the Prussian forest, conducted by Hare Clausewitz (get it?), the intense-looking rabbit officer pictured above in Napoleonic-era regalia.
CINEMETRICS: cinemetrics is about measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.
Christian Groß — SMS to Paper Airplanes: The text messages were filtered and analyzed using PROCESSING. The sender was encoded by the direction of the paper airplane, the length of the message with its size and the amount of positive emotional words with the amounts of folds. Additionally the paper airplanes were divided in two types depending on the length of their text. Finally, the paper airplanes resulting from this construction plan were placed in the room depending on the time when they were sent, as well as their emotional value.
Chicago: The Ferris Bueller high school – YouTube: You can make a strong case for The Blues Brothers as the definitive Chicago film, but Ferris Bueller's Day Off almost seems like a 103-minute commercial from the Chicago Office Of Tourism. That was no accident. Director (and Chicagoan) John Hughes described the film as his "love letter" to the city. He wanted to capture "not just the architecture, but the spirit."

Tom Gallants Porn-Papercuts
Tom Gallant macht florale Scherenschnitte und Origami aus alten Pornomagazinen. Hier noch ein altes Video von Cool Hunting über seine Arbeiten:
Living and working in Brussels, Belgium, Tom Gallant creates hand-cut floral prints out of archived pornographic magazines. Using a surgical blade, he cuts into the imagery, layering extremely delicate cut-outs on top of one another to assemble a dramatic visual experience that almost blurs your vision. If you look closely you can see hints of hair, lips, neck and genitalia, but it’s the paper’s flesh tones and curvature that stand out.
Soft spoken and a self-proclaimed compulsive collector, he describes his work as a visual language “dealing with a private matter in a very public way.”
Dead Wood from Newspapers made into a Lamp
Mieke Meijers Holz aus alten Zeitungen hatte ich schonmal vor einem Jahr, jetzt haben sie auf der Ventura Lambrate 2011 in Mailand erste Einrichtungsgegenstände aus dem Material vorgestellt, die Leselampe oben ist gleichzeitig ein Zeitungsständer. Das Zeug ist zwar insgesamt ziemlich hässlich, die Idee allerdings grandios.
Every day, piles of newspapers are discarded and recycled into new paper. Mieke Meijer has devised a solution to use this surplus of paper into a renewed material. When a NewspaperWood log is cut, the layers of paper appear like lines of a wood grain or the rings of a tree and therefore resembles the aesthetic of real wood. The material can be cut, milled and sanded and generally treated like any other type of wood.
In april 2011 the first prototypes have been presented in Milan of which a selection will be included in the Vij5 collection.
