The exhibition not only presents artifacts and information about tattoos in Japan, Pacific Ocean and in the South East of Asia through history but it also makes them dialogue with bikers, Russian and Italian criminals, the skin-heads, the Hollywood movies and Delvoye’s tattooed pigs

Photographer Peter Li uses panoramic photography to introduce a new perspective to the already breathtaking architecture of churches from around the world. By capturing the entirety of the ceiling and supporting columns, Li allows the viewer to get the chance to feel what it is like to stand at the center of these grand buildings, while also achieving a viewpoint that is impossible to get without digital intervention.
One of the many stand-out aspects of the photographs is the symmetry that is highlighted when a chapel’s interior is stretched. More

Yuichi Ikehata combines photography, sculpture, and digital editing to create hybrid works that meld together reality and his own fictionalized interpretation. The eerie humanoid forms are pierced with holes that reveal rudimentary structures below their plaster-like skin, making each appear to be in varying states of decay. To create these digital manipulations, Ikehata first photographs his own body in different poses. Using wire, he then three-dimensionally recreates its form in simple structures. Finally, the artist adds parts of his original image onto the sculpture through digital editing, reintroducing a fractured reality to the wire imitation. More

Pete Mauney has been interested in observing the dizzying patterns of planes at night since high school. As a teenager the photographer would watch airplanes has they circled Manhattan, imagining their trajectories and how they might intersect. Although he has worked with night imaging for the few decades since, it wasn’t until he began to photograph fireflies that the idea to return to his initial inspiration struck. As he practiced and improved his techniques for long exposure and editing, he realized he could make similar images of the swarms of airplanes that were circling large cities, rather than his backyard.

• "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" is an interactive movie and has five different endings.
• According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix first pitched the idea to "Black Mirror" creator Charlie Brooker in May 2017.
• A Netflix representative told Business Insider, "While Bandersnatch is a standalone film, it is not the sole film in Season 5. Season 5 will still return in 2019." 

Netflix released the first standalone "Black Mirror" movie on Friday, "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, which features an interactive, choose-your-own-adventure style storyline that has been nearly two years in the making. 

Netflix dropped a trailer for "Bandersnatch" on Thursday, which described it as a "Black Mirror Event," but the streamer kept most details away from the public. The Netflix page for the movie was also live, and described it as a Netflix Film. Now, the movie’s Netflix page describes it as a "Netflix Interactive Film."

Here’s the Netflix description for the movie: "In 1984, a young programmer begins to question reality as he adapts a dark fantasy novel into a video game. A mind-bending tale with multiple endings."

"Bandersnatch" features five different endings, according to The New York Times. Options appear at the bottom of the screen with only a few seconds to choose. The Times reporter, David Streitfeld, said that the episode went back to the beginning when he did not choose anything, but it wasn’t clear whether it was a glitch or punishment.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, viewers will need about 90 minutes to reach an ending to "Bandersnatch," but could take almost two and a half hours to fully experience it.

Netflix pitched the idea of an interactive story to "Black Mirror" creator Charlie Brooker in May 2017, THR said. Brooker was hesitant at first.

"We didn’t know what the story would be and thought, ‘Wouldn’t that just be a gimmick?,’" Brooker told THR. "Annoyingly, several weeks later, we were throwing story ideas around and this idea popped up that would only work as an interactive. It was good to come back and have an idea, but also daunting."

"Bandersnatch" isn’t taking the place of season 5, however.

A Netflix representative told Business Insider, "While Bandersnatch is a standalone film, it is not the sole film in Season 5. Season 5 will still return in 2019."

Katsushika Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is perhaps on of the most iconic images that Japan has ever exported. And it’s now emerged as a giant mural on the facade of a new development in Moscow. Called Etalon City, the development, which comprises 9 buildings, is located in the South Butovo region in south-west Moscow. While the rectangular buildings will feature the silhouettes of New York, Chicago, Barcelona, and Monaco, a decision was made to include Katsushika Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” on the 6 square-shaped towers that are situated along the highway and most visible.

British artist Clive Head captures the complex beauty of everyday movements in his dizzying oil paintings. His long career has seen a dramatic evolution of his style, from early work in the tradition of Realism to more recent math-inspired works. Head first gained prominence in the 1990s for his Realist urban landscapes, but began to experiment with spatial mathematics in the 2000’s, sparking his current intuitive style.
“Rejecting the conventions of perspective, the resulting panoramas seamlessly merged different spaces into plausible but impossible totalities,” a statement on the artist’s website explains. More
