And Now For Something Completely Different!

I've been feeling very nostalgic as of late. Today I've been resurrecting fond memories of the days when it was common for one to trade mix tapes with one's friends. The amount of care and consideration that went into each of those tapes is something that is completely lacking from today's correspondence: brief, emotionless e-mails or text messages. So, I decided to take a moment to make an INCONGRUOUS mix tape (via the wondrous world wide web) filled with tracks that have rather hard-to-define genres. The mix includes everything from jazz to french electroclash and even some Balkan folk revival music (certainly surreal)! Try something new: expand your musical horizons!

Michael Ostermann is an Austrian illustrator who modifies photographs typically taken for editorial fashion spreads and creates images that appear to be from another dimension.





He uses various digital photo manipulation techniques to transport his audience to a world where couture pieces evolve in real-time on their android models. If you find the above images as mesmerizing as I do, I encourage you to click the link below and feed your imagination!
