A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter by Caleb Larsen is a physical sculpture that is perptually attempting to auction itself on eBay. Here is the auction, the current bid is $4,250.

Every ten minutes the black box pings a server on the internet via the ethernet connection to check if it is for sale on the eBay. If its auction has ended or it has sold, it automatically creates a new auction of itself. If a person buys it on eBay, the current owner is required to send it to the new owner. The new owner must then plug it into ethernet, and the cycle repeats itself.

One of the more novel ideas I've heard about in the art world. I just wouldn't want to be the last monkey to buy the piece. What would one do with a $4000 oversized paperweight.

I think we're all familiar with Las Vegas' transformation from sleazy, organized-crime desert town to it's current incarnation as Disney-esque theme park. But somehow, the city's graphic image has not evolved with the same speed. Online gambling, its ugly step-sister, has certainly lagged in this respect. To nudge the industry along, graphic designer Daniel Carlsten has created a series of striking images. Daniel says these are "A bright and playful visual toolbox for a company who wants to add human and friendly to the vocabulary of the usually quite shady world of online gambling."

As an admitted Beatles fanboy, you could get my attention with just about anything related to the Fab Four. But designer Michael Deal has outdone himself with his latest project. This ongoing exploration of Beatles music through infographics is a treat for the both the right and left hemispheres of my Liverpudlian brain.

In Authorship and Collaboration, the color patterns offer clues about the band's gradual fracturing as each member becomes more independent. Red bars (signifying jointly written songs) decrease in the second half of the timeline; the split-color bars give way to solid bars of a single color. George Harrison also began to compose more music as he matured as a songwriter, signified by the increase in green bars (Lennon and McCartney's lack of support through Harrison's development is widely cited as a factor contributing to the band's eventual breakup).

Song Keys is a fascinating look into relative keys for all Beatles songs, be they major, minor, or diatonic. (Who knew that Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's were so balanced in this respect?)

My favorite chart is Self Reference, in which lyrics that reference previous lyrics are explored, noting at what point in each song they can be found.

The Polish photographers Szymon Roginski and Kasia Korzeniecka worked together to create these images for the “O Mia O” Spring Summer 2009 collection of Ania Kuczynska. First they photographed the collection which they then cut up and transformed into 3d objects. The result was photographed again and used for the “O Mia O” collection.

I've avoided overloading Brand66 with iApp reviews, but yesterday my son turned me on to a sweet new offering from our friendly Danish toy company. Lego Photo transforms your snapshots into a mosaic of colored tiles. Tap the screen to cycle through different color combinations. Available here for the low price of…free.

I'm not sure which will decompose first: the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or the styrofoam cup, but Newport Beach artist Cheeming Boey is on track to become a modern day Michelangelo. What he saves in art supplies, he makes up for in skill and ingenuity. His first piece of cup art can be traced back to a coffee shop, where he sat down to watch people and doodle. When he realized that he had no paper, he grabbed a trashed cup and began drawing. Fast forward a couple of years and his disposable vessels sell for between $140 and $280.
