Undoubtedly, it is not given to everyone to engage in science - one lacks abilities, the other perseverance, the third - movement and impressions, the fourth - motivation. But no one has ever tried to draw people's attention to science in general, and to scientists, in particular, the way the artist did. Simon Bent from Australia. A series of psychedelic posters that he drew as part of an art project Science Vs Delirium, presents famous scientists as if they were dreamed of by a mad artist under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs. Science versus delusion, psychedelic versus reality, and incredible, but in some places quite recognizable pundits - and women! - made up of multi-colored abstract shapes and ornaments. Disrespect, you say? On the contrary, recognition, worship and popularization of the individual.
Descartes and Freud, Newton and Marie Curie, Darwin and Galileo - the artist transformed each of them beyond recognition, but at the same time left one or two details so that psychedelic portraits could still be understood. Newton's long wavy curls, Da Vinci's shaggy thick beard, Curie's peculiar hairstyle, Freud's round glasses - and you won't get lost in this madness of colors, a variety of shapes and figures. But for those who are far from science enough to independently discern who is who in Science Vs Delirium, each psychedelic portrait is accompanied by a signature.
If you wish, you can express your admiration or censure to the author, Simon Bent, on his website.

Destructive art project War against Christmas by Alan Sailer
Oddly enough, but among people who wholeheartedly love Christmas and New Year's holidays, they adore decorating the Christmas tree, choosing and wrapping gifts, and chanting "Happy New Year" when the clock strikes midnight on December 31, their absolute antipodes are found. They hate the holidays in general and Christmas in particular, they hate the pre-holiday bustle, and they get an allergy attack from champagne and tangerines. Whether or not the photographer Alan Sailer is one of these people, one cannot say
