LEGO TACO! And Other Great Images -- IMG! Episode #47

Do you consider yourself a fan of dogs? Or cloud ice cream? Well, it's episode 47 of IMG! This is a mirror and this is clear glass. A broccoli tree house and, with the right outline, Europe can be a dragon.

In the early 1900s, Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas took photos of thousands of American soldiers standing in shapes from atop a tower. Here they are as the Statue of Liberty. In the front, there are 17 men. The men in the torch are a half mile away, and of the 18,000 men arranged into this shape, 12,000 of them are in the torch.

The photographers also got people to stand in the shape of Uncle Sam, President Woodrow Wilson, and a panther. Subaru backwards is Ur A Bus, and this piece of furniture is actually a cake. But this storm trooper? Well, he's also a cake.

If you were a lot of rings, you can make your fist Pac-Man. And a stereographic projection projects a sphere onto a flat plane. A complete 360-degree view gets wrapped up in a circle. Josh Summers makes some of my favorites.

It's as if everything you can see from where you're standing becomes its own planet. Bongiovanni's paintings of birds look like reality is melting. But Takeshi Kawano's melting animal sculptures are even more liquid-y.

Lots of things will melt when our Sun dies. At first, it will expand and become a red giant, eventually swallowing the Earth. As water boils away, we will be left with this - what Earth would look like without water. And this is what Mars would look like with water.

But Niagara Falls without water? Well, it's happened. In 1969, the army core of engineers dammed the river to strengthen some faults and slow its erosion. Lay on the ground and take a photo straight down to put yourself in cool positions.

And here's a map of a global subway system. Buzzfeed collected 9 pictures of cats wrapped up like burritos, but for the montage let's take a look at "forever alone"? Nailed it. Nails bent into different situations by Andrei Nikolaev.

When you're this happy, your eyes are actually drooling smiley faces. Oh, and this cat's mouth is an angry bunny. Wow, well, at least dogs haven't enslaved kids yet. Oh.

Bruce Lowell sources LEGO parts and creates fantastic items. A taco, a sandwich, or a LEGO paint effect. This painting is also an effect. The woman is a real person. Alexa Meade uses acrylic paint on people's bodies to make them look like paintings of themselves.

These people aren't painted, but they don't know each other. I've always loved this project. Artist Richard Renaldi walks around and finds total strangers out in public. He then asks them, despite the fact that they don't know each other, to pose for photos as if they were close friends or lovers.

Strangers also touch when cartoon characters are placed in famous paintings. And here are some hipster Disney princesses. Or, the princesses as superheroes.

Oh, remember those living photographs of soldiers? Another type of living photograph is this. Many YouTube videos are quick-paced and jump cut every 4 seconds, but living photographs do the opposite. The subject poses for minutes, like when you're taking a picture of someone but forget you're in video mode.

Watching is kind of amazingly awkward. And the cloth wrapped around these trees lines up with the mountains in the distance, which, my friends, is artwork. And as always, thanks for watching.
