The American Dream – twisted, broken and bloody as it is – tells us home-ownership is one of the peak experiences of human life. We grow up imagining our “dream home” and how wonderful it will be to furnish it exactly how we’d like it. Mine comes with an...

The other day, I was working on a piece about mobile apps to help you broadcast your boring life, and while perusing the Ustream app for usability and features, I found this awesome program called This Week In. They just happened to be showing a recent talk from Cheezburger Network CEO Ben Huh...

What they say is true, waking up is hard to do – but it doesn’t have to be that way. Take my story for instance. My body naturally sleeps about 12 hours a day, and it really gets depressing waking up to three hours of sun. I’m used to setting three alarms at a time of the...

  With each new bot hitting the scene, robots are becoming more interactive. These days, our metallic friends can walk on their own, talk on their own, pick themselves up, and while thinking on their own is still not exactly a thing, they can do cute fun stuff like kick little orange...

What did you do July 24th, 2010? Life In A Day is more than 4,500 hours of footage, compiled down to an hour and a half by Last King Of Scotland director Kevin MacDonald, capturing brief moments of human lives from all around the world on that Saturday about a year and four months ago. The...

So the past few weeks have been pretty crazy for us here at Fresh Wet Paint. We are relaunching the site in a month, starting a fashion line, and bringing you bigger parties more often. 2012 is going to be a breakout year for us and we are just getting started. We just want to thank you guys...

If the future doesn’t consist of me lounging around on a bed of air inside a bubble, I’m not interested in participating. While I am sort of kidding, it is a relief to see the work of Tomás Saraceno. The artist was born in Argentina but relocated to Germany where his most recent...

If you’re not taking a photograph for artistic reasons, chances are you’re trying to capture a place and time as close to reality as you can. Panoramic cameras are pretty useful towards this aim, and there’s always a fun novelty in seeing a closer representation to what we...

After a long hiatus from their debut album, † ; and an over-looked, thematic EP, Planisphere, the lovable french duo is back with a new album titled “Audio, Video, Disco”. The abum isn’t due out for another week, but already streamed and leaked versions are popping up...

Okay, I just had to post this for you guys because it’s probably the coolest video I’ve seen online, ever. It’s a bit long considering our debilitated attention spans circa the present-era, but the pay off for sticking with it is more than worth it. You’ll have chills...

It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, but we wanna bring you something fun. How about an excuse to thumb your nose at that mean, old professor who always yells at you for drawing in class? Turns out, doodling actually helps a person understand and retain information. As author, business owner...

Sometimes art is offensive and loud. It can make you feel a host of emotions. I usually don’t look to the genre of child photography to be moved towards any sort of conclusion other than “aww, that kid with food on his face is cute.”  That changes with the most recent photo...

Remember that scene in Terminator when the Governator cuts out his own eye so he can replace it with the better, mechanical eye that glows red? That shit was pretty awesome when it was fake, but it’s even cooler when it’s real. Rob Spence, a Canadian film maker, lost his eye in a...

Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a motherfucking robot. Markus Fischer and his team at Festo, who do all sorts of sweet shit with innovative electronics and bionics, have created a first of it’s kind. Dubbed the Smartbird, this  modern marvel modeled on a...

If you have ever been to a Wet Paint party you know we are fans of the glow stick. Turns out, so is Colombia. The Colombian yogurt company Bon Yurt put together an installation called Mundo Neon to advertise their new Neon line of yogurt. The installation consists of several blenders, around...
