A pig painting inside an Indonesian cave has been dated to 43,900 years old, making it among the oldest—if not the oldest—known figurative art piece in the archaeological record.

The painting was found at the Leang Tedongnge cave site on Indonesia’s Sulawesi island. The artwork appears to depict a confrontation or some sort of social interaction, between three Sulawesi warty pigs (Sus celebensis). These short-legged pigs, with their characteristic warty faces, are still around today, and during the Pleistocene they represented an important prey animal for the early humans who lived in this part of the world. That early humans living on the island would depict these creatures on their cave walls is an indication of their cultural, social, and existential importance.

See-saw for kids at the USA-Mexico border wall wins best design of 2020

The Design Museum has named the installation – which allowed children from neighbouring countries to play with one another – the Beazley Design of the Year.

A temporary installation that allowed children from the USA and Mexico to “connect playfully” across the border wall has been chosen as the best design of 2020.

Teeter-Totter Wall won the overall prize at the Beazley Designs of the Year, which opened at London’s design museum in November 2020. The annual awards seek to showcase the most innovative designs of the previous year – there are categories for graphics, digital and transport design among others.

The winning project was designed by architects Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello alongside social design group Colectivo Chopeke. The installation allowed children from the bordering countries to interact, using three bright pink playground features that slotted between the tall steel wall.

Maybe more craftsmanship than art (both?) but wow.

A typewriter that paints? Artist Tyree Callahan modified this 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter to do just that, replacing each key with a different hue that can paint on paper. A chromatic typewriter isn't by any means practical (the keys have to be manually reloaded with paint) - but the concept…
