Project Google Birdhouse: Google Maps Icon Inspired Birdhouses
The Google Maps icon is one of the most famous icons in the world. It's instantly recognizable, and it has become a symbol of navigation and directions. When we see the Google Maps icon, we know we are close to our destination, or at least on the right track. Artist Shuchun Hsiao is apparently a big ...
Classic Couture Geek Style: Vintage Prints On New Urban T-Shirts
I recently read an old quote from Alexander McQueen about the new era in fashion with no rules and merging styles. Then I thought, so what does that mean for me? Fashion isn’t something I think about a lot, but even though all I really wear are t-shirts, I’d still like to somehow take Alexander’s li ...
Beautiful Birdhouses Created From Trash Decorate Urban Areas
One thing about animals and nature which always fascinates me is how they both adapt to whatever conditions they are faced with. There is a lot we can learn from that, whether it's from a tiny flower that grows up between the sidewalk cracks or a bird that makes a nest in a mailbox. Birds are such a ...
Creative Architecture: The Scariest Playground Ever Built
I remember back when Richard wrote about this rooftop pool because the way it was built made it look like you could swim right over the edge and plummet to your death. Putting that pool on top of a skyscraper right in the middle of the city made for a fantastic view, and I wouldn't mind taking a swi ...
Yarn Bombing: A Global Graffiti Phenomenon
I've got another trend alert for you today, and this time, it's a form of beautifully artistic vandalism, art or graffiti (whichever description you prefer) called yarn bombing. I remember reading an article about this a few years ago, but it's definitely becoming more popular now. Yarn bombing can ...
Nighttime In The City: Breath Taking Aerial Photographs
When I think of aerial photography, the only name that really comes to my mind is Cameron Davidson. When you see the examples of his photography below, you'll immediately understand why his client roster reads like a media who's who list.
These are especially some of my favorite shots because the ...

Immaterial: Converting WiFi Strength To Urban Photography
There is a new art form emerging, and it has everything to do with technology. Previously we were used to art being created using brushes, pencils and paint, but that landscape is changing. The new way of creating art involves using lights and stop motion capturing. It isn't so much about animati ...
Beautify The World: Rooftop Gardens On City Buses
It's such a wonderful feeling to know that we can do something to make the world a better place. As Richard and I have talked about before, many people think the only way to do that is to do something big, profound and time consuming. However, that's not the case. Sometimes the simplest little th ...
Creative Sculptures Made Out Of Human Beings
We are very inspired by creative artistry, and we've featured a lot of different types of sculptures on Bit Rebels. However, I think this could be the first time we've ever written about sculptures made out of... well... human beings.
The closest I've seen to this is this typography installation ...
Pixilated Birdhouse Cities: Where The Trendy Birds Live
When my father was alive, one of his favorite pastimes was building wooden birdhouses in his workshop, so I have especially fond memories of birdhouses. Combine that with my love of everything pixilated, and you will understand why I would live in one of these birdhouse cities if I were a bird.

Urban Beautification – How To Make The World A Better Place
I don't know what started it, but I am one of those "odd" people that continuously thinks about how the world could be a better place. I honestly and deeply want to help make it better, but sometimes the means and the time are not enough to make even the smallest changes. I'll be honest and tell y ...

Came across this video from Digital Slaves and Charlie Mars when they went to Nuit Blanche Amiens and showed
a nightly interactive urban mapping called Mortelle Banane. The theme of this year edition was dedicated to monsters and other freaks.
The video may be in French, but one can truly apprecia ...
