Mad Quickies: Night Tube, Emotional Colors, Pretty DNA, Little People in a Big World and More!

Turns out crystallized DNA is super pretty. Please explore more images at biochemist and photographer Linden Gledhill’s excellent site.

From Thomas Blanchard –
The Colors of Feelings
from the page
“The Colors of Feelings” is an experimental dreamlike video rocking us smoothly through circular moves. It is also an analogy of feelings such as anger, love, sadness and joy ; they mix and eventually ease.
The visual compositions have been created out of paint, oil, milk, honey and cinnamon.

That tube map takes me back through lots of weird novels and videogames where Londoners take to the tube stations after some flavour of apocalypse. Damn.
