Beam Camp: A haven for makers
Everything we do at Beam is directed towards enabling campers and staff to make ideas happen. Our aim is help kids explore how the skill and process of making things can be applied to all of life, not just strictly objex of art. Making, for us, is where art, work, technology, utility, resource management, communication and collaboration intersect. We see making as a pathway to being intentional about how you live, who you are and what you bring to the world.

My toilets runneth over
It’s like one of those champagne fountains at a wedding. Except, you know, made of toilets. And running water (er, one hopes) instead of booze. A “Duchampagne” fountain, perhaps? No, SRSLY: It’s a 2005 installation called “American Standard” by Vancouver artist Reece Terris. [via Boing to the Boing]

Amazing model landscape photography
This is not, in fact, an actual volcano. It is, rather, the work of Matthew Albanese, a photographer who builds meticulously detailed landscape models and then lights and shoots them to achieve amazing realism. You can view more of his work here. My personal favorite is the Martian landscape made from paprika and charcoal. [via Neatorama]
