  • An art-loving couple who are self-isolating in London have created a miniature art gallery for their pet gerbils.<br />
<br />
9-month-old brothers Pandoro and Tiramisù were met with a special surprise when their owners Filippo Lorenzin, an independent curator who works at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, and his girlfriend, artist Marianna Benetti, unveiled a DIY miniature museum - the product of four hours of labour during the couple’s 14th day of quarantine.<br />
<br />
The little gallery features four exquisite paintings modelled on famous masterpieces.<br />
<br />
Versions of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Edvard Munch’s The Scream and Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss, all rendered in Benetti’s expert hand, grace the museum’s walls.<br />
<br />
Each, of course, comes with its own animalistic twist, subbing in a rodent where a human might otherwise feature - tailored, perhaps, to the VIP pint-sized patrons.<br />
<br />
Johannes Vermeer’s The Girl With the Pearl Earring, for instance, is re-imagined as The Gerbil With the Pearl Earring.<br />
<br />
Each parody is finished off with a clean cardboard frame and a wall label featuring a QR code.<br />
<br />
Speaking to Bored Panda, Filippo said: "We visit museums and galleries whenever we can. We are interested in the artworks as much as in the way these are displayed.<br />
<br />
"Are the QR codes to engage the public working? How comfortable are the gallery stools? Is there any audio guide? etc.<br />
<br />
"When Marianna suggested to make a sort of doll house for our beloved gerbils as pastime for a lazy Sunday spent locked at home, I suggested to make a small art gallery. She is very good at painting and it was a nice opportunity to keep us busy with a fun project."<br />
<br />
According to Filippo, the gerbils love the gallery.<br />
<br />
"They seemed interested in everything but the paintings, which made us laugh," he said.<br />
<br />
"They explored the space interacting with the stool, the signs and the benches instead."<br />
<br />
Filippo and Marianna have been blown away with the reaction to the project on social media and are open to

  • Chrissy Teigen sure has specs appeal in this photoshoot to plug her new sunglasses line with Quay Australia. The 33-year-old model and mother-of-two strikes a series of alluring poses in the campaign for the QUAY X CHRISSY line — a full range of blue light glasses and sunglasses, now available online. Quay — which is pronounced ‘key’ — picked Chrissy to be the face of the brand’s global 'Education is Quay' campaign, which clarifies how to say the brand’s name and also puts the blue light filtering glasses center stage. The glasses feature lenses with Blue Light Technology to help block harmful light from digital screens that may cause symptoms such as headaches, blurry vision and loss of sleep, and the prescription-ready frames can be taken to an optometrist to be filled. Quay CEO Jodi Bricker said of the collaboration: ‘We reached out to Chrissy because she's a role model for authentic self-expression, with a huge range of dynamic roles - mother, entrepreneur, philanthropist, comedienne, entertainer - who pays it forward to empower millions of others across the globe.’ Bricker added: ‘When we're looking at partners, it's important to us that we're aligning with people who share the passion and sense of confidence that's so integral to our identity - and Chrissy has mastered that art over the years. We're a brand with a large online presence, and it's our responsibility to foster an open environment of self-expression for our community - online and out in the world.’ As part of the multi-deal partnership, the brand released a new collection - comprised of Quay's best-selling frames in all-new, muted retro tones. The glasses are priced at AUD $60-$70 per pair, putting them in the affordable price bracket. Teigen said: ‘I've come across Quay a number of times over the years through friends, so when the opportunity to partner came up, it felt right. I love that they offer something so special that's accessible to everyone - the product is b

Internationally-renowned British artist Luke Jerram has created a coronavirus glass sculpture in tribute to the huge global scientific and medical effort to combat the pandemic.<br />
<br />
Made in glass, at 23cm in diameter, it is 1 million times larger than the actual virus. <br />
<br />
It was commissioned 5 weeks ago by a university in America to reflect its current and future research and learning in health, the environment and intelligent systems, and its focus on solving global challenges.  <br />
<br />
Luke says: “Helping to communicate the form of the virus to the public, the artwork has been created as an alternative representation to the artificially coloured imagery received through the media. In fact, viruses have no colour as they are smaller than the wavelength of light.” <br />
<br />
“This artwork is a tribute to the scientists and medical teams who are working collaboratively across the world to try to slow the spread of the virus. It is vital we attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus by working together globally, so our health services can manage this pandemic.” <br />
<br />
Made through a process of scientific glassblowing, the coronavirus model is based on the latest scientific understanding and diagrams of the virus.  <br />
<br />
Profits from this glass model are going to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) who will be assisting developing countries deal with the fallout of the coronavirus epidemic. <br />
<br />
This new model is just the latest in Luke’s Glass Microbiology series of virus sculptures. Luke and his glassblowing team have, in the past, made other sculptures of viruses from swine flu and Ebola to smallpox and HIV.<br />
<br />
Respected in the scientific community, the glass sculptures have featured in The Lancet, Scientific American, British Medical Journal (BMJ) and on the front cover of Nature Magazine.  <br />
<br />
The Glass Microbiology sculptures are in museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum, NYC; Wellcome Collection, London and the Museum of Glas

<br />
Internationally-renowned British artist Luke Jerram has created a coronavirus glass sculpture in tribute to the huge global scientific and medical effort to combat the pandemic.<br />
<br />
Made in glass, at 23cm in diameter, it is 1 million times larger than the actual virus. <br />
<br />
It was commissioned 5 weeks ago by a university in America to reflect its current and future research and learning in health, the environment and intelligent systems, and its focus on solving global challenges.  <br />
<br />
Luke says: “Helping to communicate the form of the virus to the public, the artwork has been created as an alternative representation to the artificially coloured imagery received through the media. In fact, viruses have no colour as they are smaller than the wavelength of light.” <br />
<br />
“This artwork is a tribute to the scientists and medical teams who are working collaboratively across the world to try to slow the spread of the virus. It is vital we attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus by working together globally, so our health services can manage this pandemic.” <br />

  • April 25, 2017 - Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan - The Dino-Safari exhibition featuring these robotic dinosaurs in Tokyo, Japan. The rubber creatures make use of a 'Dino-Tronics' mechanism, which allows them to smoothly and quietly walk around, and move their heads and jaws. However the dinosaurs are not completely autonomous - performers encased in the models control their movements..The animatronics were created by Japanese firm ON-ART Corp. The exhibit, set to open on Apr. 26 at Hikarie Hall in Tokyo's Shibuya district, will feature the 4.8m tall Raptor, the 8m Tyrannosaurus Rex and the 6.5m Triceratops.

  • The world’s largest plastic waste pyramid has been revealed in Egypt ahead of COP27 in Sharm el-Sheik.<br />
<br />
The unveiling marks the beginning of a movement called the 100YR CLEANUP - an initiative led by zero-waste company Zero Co and mission-led wine The Hidden Sea. It seeks to fund large-scale rubbish clean ups for the next 100 years and drive accountability for the single-use plastic problem.<br />
<br />
Erected in Egypt’s Western Desert, just outside Cairo, the immense structure took five days to build, weighs a whopping 18 tonnes, is taller than a three-story building and is made using the equivalent of 1 million plastic water bottles and rubbish collected from the Nile River.<br />
<br />
In a strike of collective action, consumers can sponsor the removal of “bundles of trash” while businesses can be part of the game-changing initiative by contributing funds towards the initiative. <br />
<br />
Justin Moran, founder of The Hidden Sea, which is a wine company taking plastic out of the ocean every time a bottle is bought, said: “Despite its epic size, the pyramid shows just a fraction of what is an incredible crisis. Powered by wine drinkers, The Hidden Sea has removed 18 million plastic bottles from the ocean so far; this demonstrates that consumers simply need a clear way to be part of the solution. This COP27, our message is clear. It’s time to draw a line in the sand and change how we manage the crisis. Those who have the ability, have the responsibility.”<br />
<br />
To personally mark the launch of 100YR CLEANUP, founder Mike Smith will camp out on top of pyramid for three days to call for support from people and businesses to join the movement. <br />
<br />
100YR CLEANUP founder, Mike Smith, said: “We can’t fix the plastic problem alone, but we can give everyone the ability to take action. By working together with businesses, industry leaders and inviting the public to take direct action, we’ll be able to build a scalable solution to the problem and have a huge impact.”<br />
