A Czech Merry-Go-Round

A Czech Merry Go Round swings stunts Prague performance art

Though I lived not too far from here in Prague a few years ago, we never quite got around to enjoying the thrill of suspending ourselves from a rotating billboard, though I admit it looks pretty damn fun. Maybe next time. This particular stunt was the handy work of Vojtěch Fröhlich, Ondřej Mladý, January Šimánek, and Vladimír Turner, and if you liked this you’ll also like the Double Happiness Billboard Swingset.

Pražský orloj turns 600

The Prague astronomical clock turned 600 this week, and why not celebrate one of the worlds most complex clocks with a craaaazy projected animation. I walked past this clock almost every day in 2004, wish I could have seen this first-hand. Projection work by Macula. (via kottke)

Clocks Ticking

A permanent installation at Veletržní Palace in Prague. I've stood in this room before and the sound of these second hands ticking away atop their pedestals is surreal and beautiful. I regret I can't recall the artist's name but honestly believe his last name is Kafka.
