Biojewlery
by Josh Rubin
A radical evolution from the spit handshake or blood brothers ritual, Biojewlery uses lab grown human bone tissue as a design material. Their intention is to have nuptial rings created from the bone tissue of both people to be wed. Now that the Modern Primitives are growing up, this seems like their ideal wedding band.

Eye of Science: Velcro
by Josh Rubin
Looks organic, right? Like something you'd see in a nook on a coral reef? It's actually velcro.
Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa are microphotographers who founded Eye of Science in 1994. Capturing everything from insects to velcro, their images help scientists (and the rest of us) make sense of the things too small to see with the naked eye. It's all done with Transmission-Electron Microscopy and Macintosh computers.

by Josh Rubin
Banksy, one of the world's most aggressive and imaginative street (and museum, and livstock) artists, released a new book last month. It's called Cut It Out, and is available from picturesonwalls.com.
