Seattle resident Bradford Bohonus has created a fabulous website, VR Seattle, where he features incredible 360-degree images, Virtual Reality tours, of major landmarks around the city. He specializes in shooting interactive Virtual Reality images but when he’s not doing client work, he is shooting VR material for his virtual tour of Seattle which currently has over 1000 locations throughout Seattle and Washington State. He’s currently seeking local artists and musicians to be photographed in their creative environment in VR for inclusion on the VR Seattle website.

If you’re an artist or musician, you should get a hold of him. He’ll make you a star, Baby!

Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset present their newest sculpture, entitled Prada Marfa. The work is located on the outskirts of Valentine, Texas near Marfa on desolate ranching land with no other visible trace of civilization. As one drives toward the artwork it appears to be a large minimalist sculpture; as one gets closer it looks like a luxury boutique where a display of Fall 2005 high-heel Prada shoes and bags can be seen through the store front windows. Yet, one cannot open the door, it is a sealed time capsule and will never function as a place of commerce. Prada Marfa
