Four months on from their last release, Disclosure have uploaded a new track called "Apollo" to their official Soundcloud page. The crisp sounding tech-house cut sees the Lawrence-brothers take a departure from their usual pop sound, returning to their club roots to create an infectious sound with a sense of euphoria. "Apollo" comes following from the release of Disclosure's debut album Settle, which reached number 1 in the UK charts earlier in the year. Listen below!

Last week, we introduced you to Outpost Journal, a magazine founded by Pete Oyler and Manya Rubinstein that investigates American creative scenes outside the likes of L.A. and New York, focusing on a different secondary city each year. This week, we're showing you the results of the magazine's recent collaboration with the American Design Club, which invited young designers to reflect on their own hometowns across the country, no matter how large or small. Exhibited earlier this month at the ever-changing New York boutique Story, as part of its Made in America showcase, the project — Hometown Homage — included a dozen or so objects intended to celebrate "the origins of our creative identities," as AmDC co-founder Kiel Mead put it in the call for entries. "As creative professionals, the environments from which we come – whether a farm, small town, or large metropolis – help to shape our worldview. The AmDC challenged designers to look retrospectively at their hometown experiences to design an object that reflects their heritage, paying homage to their past with skill sets honed in the present." The show itself closed on Friday, but Sight Unseen picked our favorite pieces to share with anyone who didn't have the pleasure of seeing them in person.

Les personnes aveugles de naissance rêvent comme tout le monde, la seule différence étant qu'ils ne rêvent pas avec des images, mais avec des bruits, des sensations ou même parfois des odeurs.

Le livre ayant pour titre "Teeny Ted From Turnip Town" (en francais, "Minuscule Ted de Navet-Ville") écrit par l'artiste Malcolm Douglas Chaplin, est considéré comme le plus petit livre du monde. Il mesure seulement 0,07 mm sur 0,10 mm.

Cette double page blanche du New York Times est en fait une publicité pour le film "La voleuse de livre", un film tiré du livre éponyme.

Occasionally on our daily It’s Nice That safari of creativity, we come across a big beast who we assume has long since graced these pages only to find that for some inexplicable reason they’ve slipped through the net. So it gives me great pleasure to present the work of Kevin van Aelst. For four years his weird and wonderful photographs illustrated the The Medium section of The New York Times and his work has also appeared in titles like Time, Wired, and Scientific American.

How’s this for a platter full of surrealist artwork to tuck right into? Eun Ji Ryu’s abstract paintings call up notions of weird wonderlands and graphic art inspired landscapes, and with two of these very unique paintings named “Living Room” I can barely contain my curiosity as to what Eun’s house might look like. Just to add to my already inquisitive mind, the series is called Gaze Inside raising all kinds of interesting questions about interiority, visual architecture and the like.

Brilliant sculpture & illustration from Erwin Wurm, who’s work we discovered through his collaborative pieces with fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck (see here).

Self-taught artist Glen Weisgerber is a master pinstriper who has been in business since the early 1970s painting all matter of truck lettering, race cars, logo designs, guitars and bike customizations. This summer Airbrush Action Magazine filmed Weisgerber doing a number of different hand lettering tutorials including single stroke lettering, and chrome lettering. It’s almost a miracle to see each letterform leave his paintbrush so fully formed and perfect. If I was asked to make a list of 100 guesses of what this man was about to demonstrate based on his looks alone, I don’t think pinstriping would have crossed my mind.

Broken Botany by Lisa Sorgini Lisa Sorgini is a photographer living in Melbourne, Australia. Born in Adelaide and raised on a farm on the NSW North Coast, with her itchy feet she has since lived in Sydney and Brisbane before finally settling in her current city. Her work resembles an ongoing dialogue with narrative and documentary style photography and an endless fascination with the contingent beauty of unrehearsed moments. "Since I can remember, I have loved the experience of seeing new things and being in new places. My mother and I used to go driving on weekends when I was growing up and if we saw a new road we hadn't been down before we would take it, just to see what we could find. As an adult that curiosity remains and has been refined a little to be my biggest creative inspiration, though I am still trying to fully understand it. With all of my work, before I click that shutter, I'm trying to find that jolt of feeling or emotion that I hope somehow translates aesthetically" Words: Lisa Sorgini, Thisispaper Photography: Lisa Sorgini   

How to say something nice about someone’s work when you have nothing nice to say, by Wendy MacNaughton.

the temporary structures are built around both the vendome column and an adjacent edifice, interweaving and aggregating from the monuments' existing framework like the labyrinthine weave of a bird's nest in a tree.

L'origine du mot "Copain" remonte au XVIII ème siècle. A cette époque, il désignait la personne avec qui on partageait son pain lors des repas.
