Now that F&*kin Metal: Band to play in air-tight, and sound-proof box until out of oxygen

How F$&kin metal can people get? Answer: SUPER F%*kin Metal!



Portuguese artist João Onofre and UK band 'Unfathomable Ruination' will be playing in an airtight, soundproofed box until they can't play anymore.

"This is the first time that João Onofre’s work, Box sized DIE featuring Unfathomable Ruination, 2007 – 2014 has come to London, having toured extensively through Europe at venues including Palais de Tokyo and MACBA. Influenced by Tony Smith’s pioneering minimalist sculpture Die (1962), the steel box serves as a mobile location for performance. In each location the sculpture travels to, Onofre invites a local Death Metal band to play, on this occasion Unfathomable Ruination. The box is soundproofed, determining and restricting the performance’s duration to the length of time in which the oxygen is expended. Outside the cube, viewers observe its strange vibrations, only viewing the band’s entrance and exit to the performance space."

One time I was listening to a SModcast  (that's a Kevin Smith/ Scott Mosier podcast for those out of the 'know' ..linx) and They brought on K Smith's good friend (and Manager of Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash) Walt and he said the most metal thing he ever did was send Wayne Gacy a donation for a painting. This ain't got $h!t on Ruination though, I gotta be honest. Either way.... continue reading for the link to the article.

This is genuinely an amazing resource, check it out here:http://bit.ly/16qtJDq
This isn't new, this resource (and many others like it) has been available for a long time. People just don't know about it! So check it out, and TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Spread the knowledge.
It turns out (through sifting through this postings comment section of other FB users) there are other websites with many free courses. Upon doing a quick 100 comment sweep I came across these.

I'm at a loss for words. This is Theo Jansen's Strand Beest, and inorganic, art/life-form.  It's science fiction, engineering, nature and art all rolled into one beautiful non-sentient life-form. IT really IS amazing. just watch the video at the very least. At the very most visit the website and read EVERY sub-page like I did, it is fascinating (at least to me it i). I find it very creative and inspiring to try and create non essential life. Shoot....made scientists probably create life everyday, but this is Leonardo Da Vinci par-level art. It rolls so many skills into one and I can definitely say that A. I appreciate it for what it is and isn't and 
B. I'm inspired and invigorated by it's weird wonderfulness.
