Created by British designer Alex Chinneck, this fun intervention creates the illusion that a brick facade has melted right off the side of a building and into the front yard. Titled “From the Knees of my Nose to the Belly of my Toes,” the piece was installed in the English seaside town of Margate, andContinue reading "A Brick Facade Appears to Melt Off of an Apartment Building in Margate"

      That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

    2013… gosh that brings me back. I remember the doom and gloom predictions that 2012 was the end of the world. 2012 and 2013 were the best damn days of my life

      It turns out the Mayan calendar just cycles when it reaches the end. Also the world ended for them much longer ago than 2012…

    Mildly infuriating:
    It looks like the brick wall is sliding on wet cement, a brick wall cannot melt FFS. 😋

    Edit:
    How can it look like something that is impossible?
    I wonder how the brain even works for somebody that think this looks like melting?
    Yes stone can melt too, but it wouldn’t look anything like that if it did.
    And I know perfectly well it’s an art piece, I’ve seen that article many times.

          No he doesn’t, if he did he would use centigrade.

      The article literally says in the opening sentence that it is an art installation. The article is also from 2013. They just decided to use a click bait headline.

        What, yes I can perfectly well see that, and yes I have seen the article before, this is not the first time.
        What’s your point?
