Monster Energy Drink Is The Devil’s Work

•November 17, 2014 • Leave a Comment

Well it is, according to one Mama.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investing the circumstances of five deaths and one heart attack that might have Monster Energy Drinks as a contributing factor. - sciencebuzz.org.waterboy

…Close enough. Because of my unparalleled high tolerance level and curiosity in people, I have watched more than a few conspiracy theorists drone on, and on, and on about their wacky ideas, but this one is slightly more plausible, albeit still wacky. I’m unsure about the whole evil, satanic symbolism and worshiping angle, but if Monster Beverage Corporation’s marketing strategy hasn’t anything to do with subtextualising religious undertones, then Monster Energy Drink is just a remarkably coincidental, abstract product. … Hear what this mother has to say about it:

From a corporate agenda/marketing perspective, she’s probably right. Her intentions I mean — any good mother wouldn’t want her children spending their money on indulgent products with scant nutritional value. She has picked up on the product’s business model that allows it a sale and consumption, which is through striking imagery and crude grammar. I agree with this women there, but linking it to anything beyond the empirical is not going to convince people that what she is saying isn’t pure cray. Stuff tastes like shite anyway. Now, go drink yourself some high quality H2O.

The dancing astronaut was pretty rad, but my favourites of the night were definitely “Biolumination” (bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fisheri) by Dr. Siouxsie Wiles & Rebecca Klee, and the low-fi, interactive zoetrope-like projection device, “Kaleidoscope” by Laura Cibilich, both artists of whom I had the pleasure of meeting on the night.

Dance of the Peacock Spider!

•November 15, 2014 • Leave a Comment

The male peacock spider must pull out some stellar moves to avoid being devoured by its potential mate… No pressure:

Animal behavior specialist, Madeline Girard, collected more than 30 different peacock spider species from the wilds of Australia and brought them back to her lab at UC Berkeley. Under controlled conditions, she recorded their unique dances in the hopes of deciphering what these displays actual say to a female spider and how standards differ between species. With their ornately-colored bodies, rhythmic pulsations, and booty-shaking dance moves, male peacock spiders attract the attention of spectating females.
