Unprocessed Foods Cut into Precise 2.5cm Cubes
- kozak 11y agoAnd in the lower left part you have two pieces of fish, which are actually the same piece, rotated.
- akx 11y agoSomehow I doubt that.
- kozak 11y agoFind the high-res file, look very carefully. The piece of fish has enough fine features to reliably distinguish it from a different piece of fish.
- nekopa 11y agoYou are right. Interesting, yet somehow it diminishes the piece a little in my mind, as obviously they composited the final image, whereas I imagined standing over the piece as if it were on display. Love the piece still though.
- violentvinyl 11y ago> Interesting, yet somehow it diminishes the piece a little in my mind, as obviously they composited the final image, whereas I imagined standing over the piece as if it were on display. This. There is something akin to cheating, when each block can be carefully cut, arranged and photographed (potentially multiple times to get a perfect image) and then photoshopped into a final image, as oppossed to getting them all cut and arrangd and taking a photo before the inevitable drooping and leaking. It is still an incredible image and a brilliant idea.
- geon 11y agoAnd the fish is what tipped you off?
- logfromblammo 11y agoIt actually increases my interest. I spent some time looking for other images that might be from the same cube, and concluded that there may also be duplicates in the red cabbage, two of the white button mushroom images, red grapefruit, the broccoflower (adjacent, even!), carrot, Napa cabbage, lime, apple, pear, red onion, watermelon (rind), yellow squash, and several of the meats. It reminds me very much of something that might have appeared on a GAMES Magazine cover.
- janpieterz 11y agoMassively interested but I've been unable to see it after looking at it for 5 minutes with 3 people. Would you mind posting a screenshot or something where you show it??
- nekopa 11y agohere you go: http://i.imgur.com/CpSpgZI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CpSpgZI.jpg I've tried (quite badly I must say) to highlight the 2 features that seem to be more prominent
- janpieterz 11y ago@nekopa Thanks, I see the resemblance! The redit key says one is kingfish and the other swordfish, though for me it would be massively difficult to distinguish between it.
- nekopa 11y agoNo problem, this finally made me sign up for an imgur account.

- M4v3R 11y agoI've rotated the second one by 120 degrees so it's easier to see: http://imgur.com/j97HCPU http://imgur.com/j97HCPU They are still different in some places due to lightning.
- nekopa 11y agoHa, I did the same and applied my horrible photoshop skills to it... http://i.imgur.com/V6MvYMM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/V6MvYMM.jpg
- kyberias 11y agoYou might be right. The pieces in question are on the third row from the bottom, second and fourth from the left. They really have similar details.
- Nursie 11y agoYou delightful pedant!
- stestagg 11y agoEven pictures of 'unprocessed' food have some sort of artificial processing done to them ironic metaphor for the modern food industry imo.

- abluecloud 11y agoSome of their art is really quite cool. This one I particularly liked: http://lernertandsander.com/aux-raus/ http://lernertandsander.com/aux-raus/ and this scared me a little: http://lernertandsander.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/everyone1.jpg http://lernertandsander.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/every...
- nly 11y agoIt's a shame the cake at the end is CGI ;(
- andrebaaij 11y agoYes it is :( FYI; the cake is probably a reference as to us dutch people always serving this type of cake, albeit smaller and in a different form, at funerals. Knowing this gives the short a nice touch :)
- spdustin 11y agoThe cake is a lie, after all.
- rplnt 11y agoWhat an evil thing to do to embed a video without volume control or a way to go directly to vimeo. https://vimeo.com/6624352 https://vimeo.com/6624352
- nosideeffects 11y agoDo anyone know the song in this video?
- ygra 11y agoA music video by Lernert & Sander We created a music video for Aux Raus. Coffin Poser is the 2nd single of their album The Brick is in the Air (TopNotch/Universal). As written on the page.

- sjtrny 11y agoFile under posts from the reddit front page 2 days ago. Anyway these foods have been processed. What many people don't realise is that your "natural" fruits have been artificially ripened. There are food safety processes too such as washing and spraying with fungicide. There's also labelling and sorting that goes on.
- steckerbrett 11y agoThe "artificial" ripening with Ethylene isn't really as evil as it sounds, fruit emits it anyway as it becomes ripe. If you have for example some avocados that you want to ripen more quickly, putting them in a paper bag with ripe bananas or lemons will hasten the process significantly. Fruit on its own like bananas will ripen much more slowly than if they are surrounded by a bunch of peers.
- sjtrny 11y agoOh I'm not trying to make it sound evil.
- userbinator 11y agoThe faster ripening is also true if they are surrounded by a bunch of pears.

- interdrift 11y agoAaaaand it's down.
- ProZsolt 11y agoThis picture satisfy my OCD
- kelvin0 11y agoMinecraft chef!
- robodale 11y agoIt would be funny if they snuck a cubed Twinkie in there.
- famousactress 11y agoInteresting that the choice was to cut these an inch square but title it 2.5cm. Okay, I take it back. That isn't particularly interesting. Still.
- maxerickson 11y agoThe actual title is "Cubes". The 2.5 cm is mentioned in the description of the piece, but the hoisting it into the title and somewhat sloppy addition of 'unprocessed' (slaughter, bleed and butcher an animal and it is still raw, I think unprocessed is a bit off the mark) are from the HN submission.
- untog 11y agoThey are in the Netherlands, after all. They don't use inches for anything.
- MadManE 11y agoCompletely off-topic, but are they precisely 2.5cm, or 1 inch cubes?
- sp332 11y agoThe description says "We transformed unprocessed food into perfect cubes of 2,5 x 2,5 x 2,5 cm." None of the people involved seem to be in a non-metric country, so I doubt they were approximating from inches.
- jokr004 11y agoI'd definitely say that's on topic, just not a very important detail This comment is much more off topic
- codewithcheese 11y agoIt is beautiful, the complexity and and variance of what grows is stunning from aesthetic perspective.
- mykhal 11y agounfortunately, it is annoyingly orthographic, no perspective.. :)
- nekopa 11y agoActually I take back my comment about the photoshopping diminishing the piece. After reading a comment on the reddit thread complaining about the perspective being off, I can see that by 'shopping it they've given it a somewhat unreal feeling, almost a little Escher-like. Probably why I like it.
- manghoti 11y agothat near orthographic perspective had me going "Am I looking at the CG artwork of some incredibly talented artist?" It almost compelled me to try making a grid of objects and giving them different materials as an art piece. Not the only one apparently: http://i.imgur.com/UqmpoNh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UqmpoNh.jpg
- motoboi 11y agoThey would serve as gorgeous iPhone app icons. At least before apple move away from skeuomorphism.
