The Australian company has beings the design process for modern vessel, and Blue Star Lines will soon conduct the first of its model testing. The suggested interior of Titanic II looks equally impressive as per Titanic I. Moreover, a 9.3 meter wooden model of Titanic II will be put through resistance and powering tests in a 300-meter long tank.

Simon Beck Snow Art



Artist Simon Beck earlier trudges across sand through knee high snow to make gigantic geometric drawings left behind in his footprints. Basically driven by super-human forces and undaunted by the powers of nature, sandy expanses on the shore of New Zealand to frigid outlooks in the Swiss Alps, any pristine surface that stretches for hundreds of meters can work as a suitable canvas for Beck’s designs. Therefore, each site-specific piece is very well planned in advance on a computer and prudently mapped out on-site before the artist starts his grueling expedition.

Moreover, after walking for entire days, the painstaking details of enormous fractals, snowflakes, dragons, and undulating geometric forms are left in his wake often with barely enough sunlight to depict a few quick photographs. However, you’ve seen a number of pieces by Beck from the last year or so. Hence you can learn about the fine details of his process in his book published of his work titled Simon Beck: Snow Art. Moreover you can catch Simon Beck at Facebook.


Turkish Artist Warped Istanbul Inception Cityscapes


An extremely talented Turkish photographer Aydın Büyüktaş turns the streets of Istanbul upside down in these warped cityscapes that appear to curve infinitely upward and outward toward the skies. Moreover, throughout his entire career, Büyüktaş has experimented with visual effects, 3D, and video, but, passionate about a strong pull towards photography, has made that a primary focus.

Though it’s tempting to draw parallels with spectacular visuals from the 2010 movie Inception, the digital artist says his true creativeness is taken from the 1884 satirical novella Flatland that depicts a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures. In this beautiful photographs series, also titled “Flatland, BüyüktaÅŸ” captured canals, bazaars (markets), skate parks, and bridges with the aid of a drone and then digitally combined them together as dramatically inverted spaces without a visible horizon. Well, if you like the Aydin work, then you can see more of his gravity-defying work on Instagram. All photographs courtesy the artist.

Australian Farmer Battles Soil Erosion by Plowing Land into Massive Geometric Artwork



Well, as cool as technological advancements in the agricultural world are, from time to time it is pretty breathtaking to see generation-old wisdom positively implemented. After a bushfire swept through his land in South Australia, farmer Brian Fischer came up with an innovative solution to combat soil erosion, converting his land into a huge geometric patchwork. Therefore, he reports that the idea for his rare method that is now saving him valuable topsoil has been passed down for generations in his family, from as far back as 1944, however the origins of the method before his family learned about it are unknown.

Moreover Fischer’s intricate web sits in a field at Ashmore White Suffolk Stud, just north of Adelaide Australia. Thus the hypnotic design may look like crop art but is really the farmer’s inventive response to the conservation of his soil. Hence with much of the area's vegetation wiped out in the fires, Fischer’s fields were unprotected and susceptible to soil erosion from gusting winds. These simple geometric furrows are just high enough to avoid further harm and erosion.

Furthermore the clever ridges took several days for Fischer to plow into his fields; though they’re now saving him 15cm of topsoil and enticing attention from local press. The inventive farmer also acted as his own photographer, capturing these shots from his son’s airplane and displaying that art and agriculture can sometimes go hand in hand.
