I have been sporadically making these small editions over the last few years. This set is my sixth and rather than making them all the exactly same as I usually do, I decided to go with different colours for each as a sort of colour experiment — via Chris Bathgate

Arrest at Oakland Airport over odd watch

An advertising industry luminary from Southern California was jailed after he tried to board a plane at Oakland International Airport while wearing a watch that resembled a trigger device, a military shirt with built-in tourniquets and oversize shoes with hollowed-out soles, authorities said Friday.

Geoffrey McGann, 49, of Rancho Palos Verdes was arrested at 7.25pm Thursday after Transportation Security Administration agents stopped him at the security checkpoint of Terminal 2, said Sergeant JD Nelson, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department — via redwolf.newsvine.com

ballon stratosphérique / victorine müller

swiss artist victorine mu?ller has combined the disciplines of performance, sculpture, painting and sound for the last fourteen years — with an upcoming exhibition at the zone contemporaine oliver fahrni in bern, switzerland entitled wild at heart showing her current work of a PVC squid entitled ballon stratosphérique. müller’s work can be considered palpably immersive experiences to her audience — each artwork characterised by the artist herself encased in a seemingly weightless PVC structure, often depicting that of an animal. her presentations are very much oriented around a spiritual or emotional dynamism where her presence inside the air-filled creature often emits a tangible aura — breathing animistic energy into the beast she inhabits. this unusual medium fosters a thorough and almost halcyon contemplation for her viewers, each piece created to impart abstract ideas and somewhat invisible forces — via designboom
