Those look like snub nosed monkeys, right? I think so.
Also, Dioramas has 300 posts sitting here waiting to go up. But I’m busy, and you don’t want your dashboard spammed. So we’re taking it slow and easy for a while.

Dioramas WITH Mind Control!

These are actually digitally created/rendered. But they’re beautiful, and I love me some artistic conversations about the definitions of the real. So I’m going to call them dioramas, and hope you find them as mind blowing as I do.

This velociraptor model was originally featured in the exhibition Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries in 2005. Museum curator Mark Norell recently discussed new evidence that dinosaurs, once thought to resemble scaly lizards, were in fact fluffy, colorful animals. Check out the video here.

CHARLES MATTON “ENCLOSURES” INSTALLATION AT ALL VISUAL ARTS

2dosesaday:

  

    With NYFW here, I’m absolutely over flowing with inspiration. Visual artist Charles Matton gives us a look into these miniature spaces, which were memories from his own life. Using materials such as wood, glass, plaster, and paper Matton’s creations give us a sense of what he felt during these parts in his life. Whats even more incredible is how he scaled them down to such a size and still give off the same emotions as they did in their normal size.

Harry Potter Diorama by Lori Nix 
“The project was a photograph to accompany an article on the end of the  Harry Potter franchise. The last Harry Potter movie arrives in theaters  this July 15. I jumped at the opportunity after hearing what kind of  image they were looking for, a miniature funeral scene atop of one of  the books, or the stack of books. When I read this description, I  immediately had a picture in my mind of how I wanted it to look.”

Rod photographed this Ruffed Grouse in the the Museum’s Hall of North American Forests. 
Each of the Museum’s habitat dioramas depicts a scene from a real place, cast in the light of a particular time of day. These re-creations are based on meticulous observations of scientists in the field and the on-site sketches of the artists who accompanied them. This particular diorama depicts Sunset Hill on the eastern shore of Sunapee Lake in New Hampshire in early October.

Kim Keever
The atmospheric, archetypal landscapes of Kim Keever are not quite what they seem. In fact, they are dioramas set up in a 200-gallon aquarium. Once the terrain is arranged, the tank is filled with water. Colored pigment is dispersed, lighting skillfully added, and the result is as strange and familiar as a dream.
