Ahhhh! Real Monsters!

Hydrothermal worms are deep sea creatures that are largely found near hydrothermal vents in the ocean. Incredibly, the above photograph is zoomed in 525 times to capture the bacterial-sized worms — one of the smallest living creatures on the planet. The width of the field in the image is 568?m, or 568/1000 of a millimeter.

This collection of birdhouses is an installation by London Fieldworks, an art duo working as an “umbrella organisation for creative research and collaboration at the art, science and technology intersection.”

Three types of houses were engineered to exemplify the wealth gap that inhabits communities across the world and how the encroaching natural environment does nothing to deter the construction of massive commerce and domestic entities.

The larger houses were modeled after actual palaces and the smaller units were meant to mimic the packed-in housing arrangement of Alphaville, Brazil, which is famously known for slowing the escalation of crime in Sao Paulo by constructing a cluster of gated communities (deeply controlled by private investors and their law enforcement) on bought-up rural farmland and forest.
