German artist Philipp Wiecherm has boned up on anatomy and snowflakes. How appropriate for Groundhog day?

Today’s brief post is for Alex Konahin’s fine line art. It is all in the details.

Artist Emil “Rocky” Fiore’s art is to set spider webs in a way to preserve them.
These are quite beautiful. In high school, I, your humble proxy poster, used to do this with white paint and transfer the webs onto my shoes and leather jacket. It never dawned on me to do this as Emil has. Check out more at his website:

How I wish I could visit the Science Museum of London to see these incredible wax anatomical figures, originally created circa 1810-1830.
What is the appeal of a laboratory? Its potential for discovery? The experiments? Or the cool apparatus?
The experimental pharmacology laboratory of the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories. 1909.
Apparatus used for reaction of active nitrogen with CO, CO2, O2, and H2 at the Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory.
Early research lab – Dr. Jesse L. King (1926)
Apparatus for Ozone Production, Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory, 1926 (CHF)
One thing is sure–these images add danger, excitement and mystique to something certain; Science!
I have more images on this subject, so I am going to extend the week a little while guest hosting. As exciting as Mad Scientists’ laboratories can be in movies, perhaps they would not exist in too much form if the real deal labs were not as fantastic.
High-frequency apparatus in the arc laboratory at the Fixed Nitrogen Research Laboratory.
Kodak Research Laboratories in Rochester, New York, in 1920 / Courtesy of Kodak. Now that’s a lab! Imagine the research that went into developing celluloid film in the early 1900’s…
Stay tuned for more!
Little introduction is needed for Metropolis, a 1927 film by Fritz Lang; written by his wife Thea von Harbou. Complete with a futuristic city set only 100 years in the future, this science fiction morality tale features amazing alchemical laboratory sets. The neon lighting is a great touch.
Rotwang (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) is a scientist ordered by the master of the city, Joh Fredersen (Alfred Abel), to make a robot doppelganger of Maria (Brigitte Helm). Maria’s spirit transcends the class system–by sending a robot imposter back to the oppressed working class, the master of the city hopes to suppress an uprising. Rotwang has some really great neon light accented minimal lab sets.
Joh Fredersen, Rotwang and robot.
Sparse laboratory where the real Maria is encased–her form will be transferred onto the robot through Alchemy and Science!
Totally tubular!
A flick of the switch…
