Thirty eight years ago, in 1970 there was a hundred year anniversary of Vladimir Lenin, the guy who inspired Russian people to overthrow the previous Tsar government in Russia in 1917… Siberian town some woodcutters decided to celebrate this anniversary by cutting all the trees on a big field leaving only those that would form a really huge message “100 Years to Lenin”

Now you can see it yourself via Google Maps.

More stunning examples over on English Russia.

This is just genius and shows how much space is left to be explored in joining different bits of technology together.

Presenting Graffiti Radio (Future Pirate Radio):

I found a connection between graffiti and pirate radio.

Both of these art expressions hack into public facilities. In the case of graffiti, the hacker uses the wall. In case of pirate radio, the hacker uses public radio waves illegally. It can be said that pirate radio is sound graffiti and I would like to propose to combine these two methods of graffiti; The artist can spray a QR code (two-dimensional bar-code) in the street with a stencil. Then when people who find the graffiti take a snapshot of the code with a mobile phone they can find the radio station through the internet.

Looks like a great day to drive around LA, doesn’t it!

As Supertouch reports:

Right now the enigma that is known only as SKULLPHONE is easily Clear Channel Communications‘ greatest enemy in SoCal since he hijacked 10 of the advertising giant’s most prominent digital billboards around LA in Hollywood, Westwood, and the art hotspot of Culver City.

Keep fighting the good fight SkullPhone! You inspire us all!

thanks for the tip-off Harry!

UPDATE - Thanks to a heads-up from Spiraltwist in the comments – it seems some things are just too good to be true. Looks like someone’s going for that Anti-Marketing dollar. From Engadget:

According to Curbed LA (and our reliable tipsters / commenters), Skullphone paid the massive media conglomerate for one-day Los Angeles-wide ads — there was no hacking involved at all

From no3rdw’s flickr stream:

This is the view of the inside of one of the Burden Iron Works buildings from a rickety metal catwalk three floors above the ground. The floor you see in the photo is actually the 2nd floor… The entire 2nd floor is made of bricks wedged in between loose metal I-beams. If the I-beams move side-to-side, the bricks fall to the ground floor below. Because of this, we didn’t even attempt to walk on the 2nd floor.

It’s always interesting to note how the happiness and wonder of one person is the complete bile-churning disgust of another.
