Rod Serling talks censorship, art vs. commerce, selling out, and more in this brilliant interview with Mike Wallace from 1959 (just before The Twilight Zone premiered on television).
Ran Hwang uses pins and buttons to create these stunning installations of birds and cherry blossom trees. She explains:
“My immense wall installations are extremely time consuming and repetitive manual work. This is a form of meditative practice that helps me find my inner peace. Pins are used to hold buttons onto the surface to form a silhouetted image, or to disintegrate such image. No adhesive is used so the buttons are free to stay and move, which implies the genetic human tendency to be irresolute. I use buttons because they are common and ordinary, like the existence of human beings.
“By hammering thousands of pins onto a wall, I discover significance of existence. Like the monks practicing Zen facing the wall, my work is a form of performance that leads to finding oneself.”

Acid Trip of the Day: Nine drawings by an unknown artist taking part in a government-sponsored LSD experiment in the late 1950s.
The subject was asked to draw a portrait of his attending doctor at various intervals throughout the experiment.
The fifth drawing, completed two-and-a-half hours after the initial dose of LSD 25 was administered, was accompanied by the following observation:
Upon completing the drawing the patient starts laughing, then becomes startled by something on the floor.
Compare with his final statement, five-and-a-half hours later, following portrait #9:
I have nothing to say about this last drawing, it is bad and uninteresting, I want to go home now.
