Water and electricity: historically, not a great combo! But Antonin Fourneau, a French artist and engineer, combines both to remarkable ends in his installation, Water Light Graffiti, which landed in New York this week.
Mark Zuckerberg, Pummelled And Posterised
OK, nobody actually beat up Mark Zuckerberg, but someone did plaster a series of posters that make it seem as though the Facebook founder had been beaten up. When in actuality it’s the latest work of famed NYC graffiti artist KATSU. You might have seen his signature skulls around the city or his app.

Before you get too excited at the prospect of conveniently spraying hot coffee or other beverages directly into your mouth, this insulated water bottle masquerading as an aerosol can is actually lacking any kind of propellants.
