Anatomy of the (POP)ular culture

Anatomy (from the Ancient Greek ἀνατέμνειν, anatemnein: ana, "separate, apart from", and temnein, "to cut up, cut open")

Splice today  interesting stuff please have a look. Splice Today is a website featuring idiosyncratic writing and visual presentation on topics of interest and concern to an audience that values perspective over popularity.

The art of Jason Freeny:) <====== have a look
 “Immaculate Confection”



 “Pneumatic Anatomica”

he does both digital images and sculptures...










another interesting thing i found on the other blog and wanted to re-blog it here..


Would you put this in your mouth? Photographer Erik Boker's Product Dissections project applies the critical lens of high school science class to various tools of dental hygiene.

'I wouldn’t imagine that anything so minty fresh could make me feel so queasy. In  Erik Boker’s “Product Dissections” he takes something as mundane as toothpaste and makes it organic and Frankenstein-ishly disturbing.'

 Aquafresh Extreme Clean – Empowermint

 Colgate Juniour – Bubble Fruit

'Dissecting the tubes with the same method as many of us experienced in Science class growing up, there’s a shiny sterility here that makes the crustacean-looking tubes seem almost more like victims of scientific experiments. There’s also something about the way their little caps are left on that look like heads to me… Perhaps they’re being dissected to find the secret of their tartar-fighting abilities.'


Colgate Maxfresh – Kiss Me Mint

'He’s also diligently labelled each photo with it’s appropriate toothpaste name, which for some reason makes it all the more weird. As if somehow knowing this glossy, dissected mint-insect used to be you average run of the mill tube of Aquafresh makes the transformation all the more unnerving.'


 Crest Whitening with Scope – Citrus Splash

what do u think? is it a pop art?

Boker gets right into it in a statement on his site:
“This project is an on-going exploration of the roles of art, nature, the consumer, the institution, product, fabrication, reality, taxonomy, and our relationships with seemingly insignificant objects and materials that affect us daily. … I am continually inspired by the function and treatment of both nature and the unnatural in our environment, and I continue to explore our understanding of their roles, and the inherent beauty, humour, and horror that lies within them.”


Thinking of the anatomy, what would u make as a brain of the pop culture? can we think of 'normal' as a food for the pop culture? and how about social media? is it the main structure, could it be bones?




group brainstorming... after what we thought of a LAD culture as our main interest. As its very viral and popular at the moment. Allot of people doing it and other lots really enjoy watching others doing it.

just the random blog on popular culture i really liked :) Pop Culture buzz .. really liked the "about"information on the side bar.
