The Museum of Stolen Art

 Virtual gallery project by Ziv Schneider features various exhibitions of artworks that have been officially stolen

 The Museum of Stolen Art is a virtual space for pieces reported stolen in FBI and Interpol art crime databases. The museum is a virtual reality experience that allows the visitor to encounter art whose location is unknown.

The first exhibitions in the museum are:
The looting of Afghanistan
The Looting of Iraq
Famous Stolen Paintings

While walking through the space, the visitor is accompanied by an audio guide explaining about the history of the different pieces. The goals of the museum are to give visibility to art that is otherwise impossible to see on a museum wall, and also to familiarize the public with stolen items in order to assist in the their recovery. Another goal is to bring attention to the subject of cultural theft, especially as a result of war and conflict.

 The project will be available for all to view at some point in the future. You can find out more here

Endo Makoto

I just don't get why this guy refuses to use knee pads.   The video is shot by a person never held a video camera  or something; very shaky, can't focus and moves around too much.

The Soil Compactor Music Box

Artist Dave Cole turned a 22000lb soil compactor machine into a 2000 lb music box. It is playing The Star Spangled Banner but I could not recognize it. A neat idea regardless.
