Dalí had attempted to deliver his lecture Fantomes paranoiaques authentiques, wearing the diving suit but after a few minutes was near asphyxiation and had to be rescued by poet David Gascoyne: “The eminent surrealist caused a furore when he stepped on stage and began to deliver his lecture in a full deep-sea diving suit. Only minutes later, a shocked audience watched with a mixture of horror and disbelief, as he began to suffocate and had to be prised out of the helmet with pliers.” (Source)

”I just wanted to show that I was plunging deeply into the human mind,” Dalí said…

“There are implants which are purely aesthetic, and then there’s the Digital Tattoo Interface concept. It’s a blood-powered electronic interface which is embedded under skin to mimic a tattoo, display videos, or act as a phone or computer.

As great as it seems, this concept is seriously creepy because it powers itself by converting the glucose and oxygen found in blood into electricity. Though somehow getting your blood sucked by a gadget is worth it for the endless potential applications. I’d probably just end up using it to moderate comments, but what would you do first with your implant?”

I’d like a beer and a smoky corner to slouch in at my favourite pub in Bangalore. A plate of chilli beef, some stale popcorn, music blaring out so loud I can’t talk and won’t be able to hear properly for hours after.

I’d like some Nirvana, pumped up till I can feel the thump in my chest. I’d like to get fuzzy around the edges and holler entire songs out to a bar full of strangers singing. But most of all, I’d like this to end like that other night, so long ago, when we staggered down the centre of an empty road, leaning on each other, laughing like loons in the clear moonlight.

Naoya Hatakeyama - Blast

Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama’s work often deals with large-scale human interventions with the landscape, like mining and quarrying.

This freeze-frame image shows fragments blasting out of a rock face, as explosions are detonated inside the mountain.
