Gold Laptop?

I was doing some research on laptops for a project that I am working on when I found this. A 24-carat gold MacBook Pro. The case of the MacBook Pro is 24-carat Gold, including the keyboard, with the Apple logo filled with diamonds





Now this is putting on my Christmas list

inspiration.

THIS article from the NY Times, (of course, it IS my favorite post subject apparently) was really simple, but not without good lines, and really inspiring--"a testament to the tenacity of far-fetched ideas."

It's about a new art space in Brooklyn started up pretty randomly by a french man named Lucian Zayan, within an old factory once pumping out various novelties, such as the invisible dog leash...



"Serendipity can strike at any time."

You can see the actual space's site HERE

I just read that there is a graduate from CCA's curatorial practice program running a gallery there in KC....One I've never heard of, Cara and Cabezas.

http://www.caraandcabezas.com/about.html

I know you kids have LOTS to do, but if anyone has the time or curiosity to check it out, I would love to hear about it.....Because I'm nosey....

Hope your new year is off to a wonderful beginning!!

Olivier Valsecchi

Olivier Valsecchi is a french photographer I stumbled upon on 500 Photographers. I'm just in love with the images, the lighting is phenomenal; the subjects seem to be submerged in water. The effect the dust is an ephemeral disintegration of the performers (after all, isn't anyone who poses for a camera a performer?).
