Bevshots: Your Favorite Drink Turned Into Modern Art
 |
| Australian Pale Lager |
These are some interesting pieces produced by combining science with the refinement of art. They call them Bevshots, which in essence are highly magnified photographs of different kinds of beverages.
It's amazing when you think of it--those dull-coloured drinks actually produce some modern electro-pop colours when captured under the microscope. This is another prime example of art showing its limitless potential.
About Bevshots:
BevShots® are high-quality photographs of your favorite beers, wines, cocktails, liquors and mixers after they have been crystallized on a slide and photographed under a polarized light microscope. As the light refracts through the beverage crystals, the resulting photos have naturally magnificent colors and composition.

Amusing Gravity-Defying Photos by Li Wei
Li Wei is a Chinese artist known for taking gravity-defying pictures of him and his friends. How he does it, we do not know, but it looks like these stills are unattainable without the help of some photo editing software. The photos look amazingly realistic though, and they all just look like pure, energetic fun.
Notes from Mighty Optical Illusions:
What Li does he creates images of himself and his friends being thrown off buildings, dangling from bridges and hanging off cars, all in the name of art. One little detail I found amazing is that Li’s photos can take up to six months to set up, and involve huge crews organizing props such as smoke, mirrors, wires and cranes.
