The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities.
But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era. presspauseplay.com @presspauseplay Facebook: on.fb.me/y4gEK1

Treehotel – Sweden
Years ago, when researching an article we published on amazing tree houses, we discovered some concept renderings for a mirror cube treehouse in Sweden. Years later, the cube finally exists as part of Treehotel, a collection of wildly imaginative tree houses in Harads, Sweden. The Mirror Cube, designed by Martin Videgard and Bolle Tham, is perched high in the trees overlooking a valley forest below. Its exterior is entirely lined with mirrors, appearing like a floating reflective cube amidst the pine trees. Its interior is surprisingly spacious, with a floor-level bed and a loft above.

Biggest TEAHUPOO EVER ridden
BIGGEST TEAHUPOO EVER, SHOT ON THE PHANTOM CAMERA. from Chris Bryan on Vimeo.
This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.
Kelly Slater described the day by saying “witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people’s lives all day long, it’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.”
All images where shot by Chris Bryan using the Phantom HD Gold camera. To see more of Chris’ work check out his website. WWW.CHRISBRYANFILMS.COM

Most Expensive Car Ever Sold – Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic
Considered by some to be the most beautiful pre-war car, the Atlantic body Type 57S featured flowing coupe lines with a pronounced dorsal seam running front to back. Just four Atlantics were made. Only two of the cars survive. One is in the collection of Ralph Lauren, the second was owned by Dr. Peter Williamson, and won the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Williamson’s car was sold for between $30 and $40 million at an auction in May 2010 to the Mullin Automotive Museum located in Oxnard, California.
The Nike Dunk NG Golf Shoe
I’m a diehard golfer and one thing that still lacks in the sport is any cool golf apparel. I couldn’t tell you if these are more for just for looks than having the latest in golf shoe technology. But they def blend the sport and social lines. The Nike Dunk NG comes with two sets of shoelaces, allowing athletes to either accentuate the bright color of the shoe or to opt for traditional white. With full-grain waterproof leather, the Nike Dunk NG can battle the elements of poor weather conditions. The Scorpion Stinger Spikes ensure that traction is not an issue for the Nike Dunk NG.

Alien vs Predator Chess Set
DeviantArtist “Joker-laugh” built this amazing AVM chess set. He writes:
“The board itself measures 25 x 25 inch which makes it quite big for a chess set. It was made using wood and small tiles for the stone board. I made this to mimic the pyramid temple the Predators use in the AVP film.”
