Protesting Giant Pot Holes in Road by Faking a Moon Walk – Street Art!
Sep 23rd, 2019 by Aldouspi

 

Indian artist Baadal Nanjundaswamy found a creative way to protest the outrageous potholes in his city (Bengaluru, India).

In an effort to bring attention to the terrible road conditions, he created a parody video where he pretended to be an astronaut walking on the moon—that is until a car passes by and the camera pans to show the road.

Check out the viral vid embedded below.

 

 

Not only was the video successful in creating awareness about the problem but it led to direct and actionable results. As the city was forced to promptly respond and road crews were filmed fixing the potholes!

Check out the video below for proof.

 

 

The creative approach has even spread to other parts of the globe, with Baadal recently sharing a video of another activist in Mexico using the same concept to spurn his city to action.

Check out the video embedded below.

 

 

Baadal Nanjundaswamy has actually become well-known for incorporating potholes into his street art. If you want to see more check out his work on Facebook.

You can also see a close-up photo of his homemade astronaut helmet below. Bravo Baadal!

Exploring The Universe: Space Art
Dec 3rd, 2017 by Aldouspi

Space has always fascinated me. I had hoped that by now, we would have a base on the moon and by harvesting resources from asteroids. And maybe, just maybe, we would discover the means to travel faster than light and start exploring other solar systems. But instead, we have gotten bogged down…

Still we have been able to explore outer space through such amazing instrument as the Hubble Space Telescope. This instrument and the Spitzer Telescope as well as spacecraft like Voyager I and II, have gather amazing amount of information about the planets, stars and regions of space that lie beyond our atmosphere.

Over the past couple of years, I have been collecting together some of the images brought back to Earth by Hubble and rest. These are Views of the Universe and other Space Art. Recently, I have put together a book of amazingly beautiful images of space that the Universe has created both here in the Solar System as well a millions of light years away.

This new Kindle Book of this space art has now been published at Exploring the Universe: the Art of Space . Additionally, several of these images are available as photo prints and can now be found on Amazon at my store: Goods Galore.

Here is the cover of the book:
