Fabian Oefner, from Switzerland, created these Black Hole photographs using centrifugal force, which basically means he spins a drill really really fast and photographs paint flying off the edges.

Here’s a quote from the artist about the process:

“Various shades of acrylic paint are dripped onto a metallic rod, which is connected to a drill. When switched on, the paint starts to move away from the rod due to the centrifugal force, creating these amazing looking structures.

The motion of the paint happens in a blink of an eye, the images you see are taken only millisecond after the drill was turned on. To capture the moment, where the paint forms that distinctive shape, I connected a sensor to the drill, which sends an impulse to the flashes.

These specialized units are capable of creating flashes as short as a 1/40000 of a second, freezing the motion of the paint.”

It’s a really interesting technique that requires incredible timing.  I especially like the oblique angle shots, amazing expression and color!

Speed Painting Illusion

February 27th, 2013 | Brain

Speed Painting is a little-known niche of the art world.  However, this performance by D. Westry on the Anderson Cooper Show is fantastic!  He has 1 minute and 30 seconds to impress the judges, and it looks to be off to a pretty disappointing start, but as with most activities, it’s all about the finish.

It’s interesting how our brain uses gravitational, up-down reference frames to process images.  Here’s a few optical illusions of upside-down art:

El Cosaco y El Burro

“This reversible optical illusion image on an old matchbox also contains a sly joke. The Spanish word “El Cosaco” means a mounted policeman, but it also refers to an elite Russia cavalry corps, who were thought to be heavy drinkers, so “El Cosaco” means someone who drinks heavily.

When it’s reversed, of course “El Burro” means burro or mule in English, but it’s also someone who’s an ignorant or pompous ass.

So might this be a little satirical dig at stupid drunken Russians or pompous policeman? Ponder that while you take out a match to light up your smoke.

You can find a lot more of the matchbook art here.

Garibaldi and Stalin

This image was part of the Italian Anti-Communist propaganda.

When the face of the politician Garibaldi is turned upside-down, you see that he was devoted to Stalin.

It would be cool to see a speed painting that works just as well right-side-up as upside-down.
