Take a look at the winning photos from the 2016 Sony World Photography Awards, the world's biggest photography competition, which for the ninth time has taken a look at the photography output of the past 12 months worldwide. Among the winners is the Slovenian Andrej Tarfila, who took home the title of the winner of the national competition and the world winner of the travel category in the open competition. In the competition of a record 230,103 submitted works, the jury recognized Asghar Khamseh and his series of shocking portraits "Fire of Hate" as the best photographer, thus also awarding him the honorary photographic title L'Iris d'Or at a ceremony in London.
After 1000 years, the sounds of the composition called Carmina qui quondam resounded. This is part of an extensive restoration project by the University of Cambridge, which has been ongoing for more than 20 years. After a millennium, it was played again by the group Sequentia on the original instruments and with the original technique. Listen to a song that is almost as old as the earth!
There is no life without the sun, and for the Frenchman Julien Grondin, there is no good photography without the sun. Pipi and Melkijad had their moon, the French photographer has his sun. The "sun hunter" traveled the world for three years, not only to capture the beauty of the world, but also to take portraits with the sun.
Many people have trouble getting up in the morning, which means they have trouble in other areas as well. One is the motivation to move, to perform physical activities. That's why there's an Arnold Schwarzenegger alarm clock in the form of the one and only "Schwarzi", demonstrating how it works with his friend Ralf Moeller. With it, you will no longer have problems getting up and going to training.
Most of us see the true value of books in their content. But not artist Jacqueline Rush Lee. He creates incredible sculptures of organic and abstract shapes from books (old and in poor condition). Excellent!
The Slovenian acrobatic team Dunken Devils drew attention to itself again. It started at the pier in Izola, continued at the Celje Castle, followed by a scene with Mangart in the background, and now the thirteen found themselves under the railway bridge over the Sava River. The trampoline was replaced by a huge swing, and the basketball hoop was hung right under the bridge, 10 meters above the river! The world is excited, you will be too, and maybe NBA scoring champion Zach LaVine of the Minnesota Timberwolves will pick up a trick from their textbooks.
You know someone who strongly believes in conspiracy theories. Someone who watches the sky at night and waits for a sign that they exist. The present video clip will present you in detail the 10 most plausible or improbable theories about extraterrestrials.
Wingsuit BASE jumps are nothing new, but we've usually reported them elsewhere. This time, we have for you a historical video with the first jump with a wingsuit made in Slovenia, the author of which is Robert Krenker, and the evidence was collected by Matej Saksida, who accompanies him "on" the parachute. A video that will freeze your blood.
Good books, like any good art, are a mirror of life. And as such, they are often an important inspiration for those who immerse themselves in their mysterious world. Fantasy and science fiction books are a particularly important source of inspiration for the film industry. The strict regimes of dystopian societies, magical creatures and journeys to other galaxies are stories that always attract both readers and viewers. We present to you a list of ten fantasy and science fiction books that we expect to see in film form soon.
This Lego traveler figure has seen and traveled more of the world than you ever will! So far, she has visited more than 20 countries and, among other things, walked the Great Wall of China, admired the Northern Lights and rode the Trans-Siberian Railway.
Humans do many things with their faces. We manage them one way or another, but we have limitations. José Cardoso, however, imagined what it would be like if human faces were made of plasticine. And so a bizarre series of photographs was born that pays homage to video artist Chris Cunningham (he worked on films such as Alien and Rubber Johnny) and director David Cronenberg (The Fly, Komopolis, Dangerous Method, Videodrome), who are known for scenes that only those with a good stomach can tolerate them.
The Knorr brand, which has produced the legendary Knorr soups and cubes for almost 80 years, conducted an interesting experiment in which it first conducted short interviews with strangers about their dietary preferences, and then sent them on a blind date with a person who had the same taste. Is there love at first taste? Did a spark fly? You will find out all this below.
