Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre have captured the concepts of permanence and impermanence within the theme of their art. Old factories, office buildings, and theatres fill the pages of Yves and Romain’s work; however, it is the immortalization of past generations and societies that prompted these two artists to focus directly on this theme. The aesthetic care which was taken in constructing these buildings provides historical documentation of the pride felt in one’s work, while also serving as a lens that peeks into the world of past generations.

In the last TE video, I showed some of the clips of fun we’ve had over the years with air cannons. In this video, I explain how our newest cannon works.

I’ve been playing with the format of the TE Labs videos lately and I’d like some feedback from our viewers – Do you like this video, with some informative content, or do you only want the smashing and crashing and vaporized meat? Get in touch.

There is even more detail about how to build a cannon like this on in the PopSci article How to Build My Newest Air Cannon.

The TE crew has had plenty of fun with air cannons over the past few years. From blowing up a bar window with the pirate cannon to vaporizing meat in the ghetto, the same concept has defined all of our cannons: Fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke.

Style is an important part of rock culture and each generation and genre has had its own sense of what’s cool. Some rock movements take a cheeky approach to style, having as much fun with it as they can while other genres of rock use style as a political statement. No matter how different rock styles are, they all have one thing in common: Hair.

Check back every Tuesday through March 2nd, for the next installments of this series, on some of the most prolific rock hairstyles and their history.

Happy Birthday David Lynch
