I am generally not one to obsess over much in life. But when it comes to music or any related manifestation of it, I can be a maniac. Few things move me like music does – so it is no surprise that these three music-related art projects have got me [...]

Big words for a vandal. That’s what I think, at least. Urban prankster Peter Gibson, also known as “Roadsworth,” takes the relationship between philosophy and art to a whole new level. Often coined as Canada’s answer to Banksy, this established activist has been causing visually appealing mischief since 2001. Initially [...]
A few weeks ago I discovered this surreal 10th anniversary music video for independent French label Record Makers. I found the piece oddly inspiring – let’s just say it got my wheels spinning in all kinds of ways. One of my favorite aspects of the video was the theme of transformation from the inside out. It’s [...]
No one said love comes easily – especially in New York City. Photographer Michaela Dalzell learned that the hard way. She moved to New York City to get a Masters in Digital Photography at the School of Visual Arts, with hopes of eventually becoming a commercial photographer. Thankfully, Dalzell’s desire [...]
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the music related content on Aliveasart – mostly because I’ve been holding out for something truly awesome. If you are one of the unfortunate few who hasn’t heard of the British music duo, Massive Attack, please do yourself a favor and get informed [...]
Greetings Aliveasart readers! It’s been a while since we’ve posted, and even longer since we’ve updated our collection of experimental motion graphics. We have some great short films for your viewing pleasure today. Enjoy them, and have a great Friday! Reulf by Charlesque In a black and white Parisian backdrop, [...]
It has been a while since an artist has left me speechless, but Nicolas Evariste has done just that. Based in Normandy, France, this 23-year-old has mastered the art of animal imagery like no other photographer I have seen thus far. I discovered Evariste this morning, and haven’t been able to close [...]
![Thinking Outside the [Cardboard] Box (Berni Valenta)](http://www.aliveasart.com/wp-content/themes/invictus/timthumb.php?src=http://www.aliveasart.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/3bb057249bb5a29d445c7b27c4f2036e.jpg&&h=220&w=660&a=c&q=100 "Thinking Outside the [Cardboard] Box (Berni Valenta)")
Forget thinking outside the box – Berni Valenta makes art with the actual box. The Munich-based artist just closed an exhibit featuring 100 pieces of cardboard box art. It is such a shame that I just found out about it. I am always amazed when artists take everyday objects – and [...]
Everyone knows that we love love love street art at Aliveasart. Whether it’s painted graffiti, stills in animation, or wacky window installations, street art makes us happy, and we know it makes you happy, too. Today we are putting a spin on our traditional definition of this genre, and paying homage [...]
A few weeks ago I started a series of articles that focus on stop motion film and animation. It has been a while since I have posted a follow-up, but that is because I’m pretty picky with my selections. I had so much fun digging up these new videos for you. [...]
If you saw our post on TrustArt a few weeks ago, then you have probably figured out that we are big fans of socially conscious projects here at Aliveasart. Starting an impactful, art-based social movement like TrustArt takes a little creativity and a lot of risk and patience. Luckily we [...]
If you have seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire, then you are probably familiar with the vibrant colors of India. Though much of India is desolate and impoverished, there is a subtle beauty about the country that is truly undeniable. Though I have yet to visit India, I imagine bustling streets [...]
It has been a while since I have posted anything fashion related, but I think that this should more than make up for the time lag. I recently stumbled upon the incredible work of Julia Galdo. I haven’t been able to shut up about her since, and after reading this, you probably [...]
Have you ever seen anything more freaky than an enormous sculpture made from millions of pigeon feathers? I haven’t. Can you imagine anything more mind numbing than the act of assembling that sculpture? I can’t. Lucky for us, Kate MccGwire has a lot of patience and a great imagination. Her [...]
Most of my favorite artists lead very non-traditional lives, and, consequently, they go through frequent artistic phases. If you have ever taken an art history course, or are at the very least a fan of Van Gogh or Picasso, then you can probably sympathize with my fascination with creative stages. [...]
This might not be the best thing for a visual and performing arts enthusiast like myself to admit, but I am really not a huge fan of watching the Oscars. There are just too many awards bestowed upon the film community in one sitting, and very little time is spent [...]
