Viral Video of the Day: Miss Utah Marissa Powell’s Flub

Miss Teen South Carolina has a new challenger! At the Miss USA pageant last night, Miss Utah Marissa Powell responded to a question about gender-based income inequality in America with a rather strange fumbling answer, proclaiming the need to “create education better.” Immediately after her response was broadcast, #MissUtah soared up to the leading trending topic on Twitter, accompanied by jokes mocking the 21-year-old’s incoherence. While amusing, her answer wasn’t nearly as disturbing as Miss Alabama Mary-Margaret McCord’s defense of the recently leaked NSA PRISM surveillance program, asserting that she would rather have her phone messages tracked than feel unsafe.

in a hilarious way she kind of answered the question. 

too many girls aspire to be this. because of things like ‘miss world’ etc…

i dont get why there isn’t a ‘mr world’…

it just perpetuates the stereotype of girly girls being inferior. just because you’re girly doesn’t mean you are any less intelligent… but in this case, she simply didn’t have another choice of vocation… did she?

“Kids have no problem with weirdness. You say to kids, ‘There’s a fox over there made of goose fat!’ And they go, ‘Right, yeah, cool. What does he do?’ And you say ‘He eats encyclopaedias!’ And they say, ‘Great!’ They never, at any point, go: ‘What!? That’s just silly!’ So I’ve got a lot of respect, and a lot of time, for kids.”- Noel Fielding

No problem at all reading that in his voice. I think even if I didn’t know it was him, I would still read it in his voice

Tom Beddard (aka subblue) has been responsible for some of the most fascinating work being done with fractals. His totally mesmerizing video of fractal shapes morphing into one another was one of the first things I posted on this blog.

In his series Fabergé Fractals he has created digitally generated objects with designs as intricate as the eggs they’re named after. 

Beddard on his work:

The 3D fractals are generated by iterative formulas whereby the output of one iteration forms the input for the next. The formulas effectively fold, scale, rotate or flip space. They are truly fractal in the fact that more and more detail can be revealed the closer to the surface you travel.

The fascinating aspect is where combinations of parameters can combine to create structural “resonances” of extraordinary detail and beauty—sometimes naturally organic and other times perfectly geometric. But then like a chaotic system it can completely disappear with the smallest perturbation.

NTU Art & Design Book 10/11

“The Manual for Creative Action” is the deliberately unconventional title of the new Nottingham Trent University Art and Design Prospectus - a book that encourages creative growth, personal development and self expression. The book is differentiated throughout by a series of statements and slogans such as ‘Sharpen Your Pencil’, ‘Love Your Imagination’ and ‘Wear Your Ideas’.

I personally love the treated type on each page and how it fits so well with the copy.

Kim Keever

“Miniature topographies inside 200-gallon fish tanks, based on traditional landscape paintings. Keever fills the tanks with water once he’s sculpted and placed the miniatures, and colored lights and pigments create dense, atmospheric environments. He views his works as an evolution of the landscape tradition and deliberately acknowledges the conceptual artifice.”
