Hailing from Santiago, Chile, industrial designer Abel Cárcamo blends contemporary aesthetics with traditional materials, resulting in timeless tables, vases, lamps and even clothing.

Cárcamo stays true to his design principles by crafting the pieces from lenga—the native wood of Patagonia, Chile—and an aluminium that’s been finished with an electrostatic paint — via Cool Hunting
Ryan McAmis, an artist from Brooklyn, New York, is designing and building a miniature, scale model of a late Gothic Italian Cathedral, recreating everything from the stained glass windows to the vaulted ceiling, wall tombs and paintings. He first creates the pieces from a variety of materials, ranging from hand scribed brickwork on treated paper, to clay and wood. He then combines the materials together and creates a silicon mould, casting each piece in white plastic to be hand painted later — via ArchDaily

Internet lowlives who used Yahoo! ads to infect potentially countless PCs with malware have struck again — using adverts on popular websites to reach millions more people.
Security researchers at MalwareBytes this week discovered the crooks running another massive campaign of ads that use the Angler Exploit Kit to infiltrate Windows PCs via vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash and web browsers.
Prominent websites including the Drudge Report and Weather.com — a pair of sites whose total traffic alone amounts to nearly 200 million visits per month — were apparently inadvertently carrying the ads, putting millions of netizens at risk.
MalwareBytes said the network carrying the ads, AdSpirit, was notified, and it has since taken down the offending adverts. The campaign has now moved to AOL’s ad network, with dodgy adverts appearing on eBay, we’re told — via redwolf.newsvine.com
