Petits Fours - November 4, 2011

*~First and foremost, this game asks you if you can survive on $1000 for a month. It throws obstacle after obstacle at you, and really shows how stressful, painful, and difficult life can be for the thousands of unemployed Americans trying to make their next rent payments. I made it through with a couple hundred dollars, but... wow, it was really harrowing. 

*~My Modern Met is just heaven. I am head over heels for just about 85% of everything they showcase and want to share them all with the world, but for today, i'll limit myself to three posts...

          Is this real life?!



*~Lava, waterfalls, and glaciers (made of SEQUINS!) gently dripping over dilapidated buildings 
          Such a marvelous intersection of the natural, urban, faded, and flashy! 





*~A transparent lake made of hundreds of blue vinyl discs and suspended into the air
          I'm always amazed when i stand under a tree and gaze upward to see its leaves starkly outlined against the backdrop of the sky; the same goes for diving               underwater and looking up! I'd love to lie down in this exhibit like the cool red-shirted guy (although i have to wonder... since there'd be no discs directly             above you when you lie down, would the effect be as transcendental as it seems?)



With love,
Sia
