Why hello there, internet.

It is now time for you to stop whatever you are doing and watch/participate in Spanish band Labuat’s interactive music video for their song “Soy Tu Aire” (I am your Air).

aire1

I would embed it if I could but as I can not, click here, wait for it to load (there’s a percentage loading thinger at the bottom) and turn on your sound.  You can control the flow of the video with your mouse.

aire2

beautiful.

I have emerged from my internets-hiatus to share with you the following stunning (hah) monster-sized jellyfish by artist timothy horn (as seen on designboom) and his inspiration: the beauteous 19th century engravings by zoologist ernst haekel.

timothy horn’s medusae: (made of silicone rubber & fiber-optics creating a soft glow that might make it be the best chandelier of all time)

ernst haekel’s discomedusae:

Also, I would like us all to take a moment and reflect on the many magical and wonderous images that the phrase “Disco Medusa” conjures.
