Body Modifications From Around The World

Extreme Ethnic Body Modifications Around the World When westerners hear “body modifications”, hardcore kids with stretched earlobes and assorted nose rings may come to mind. Think again! Traditional cultures around the world still practice body modification that seriously puts our punks to shame. Although many of these practices may seem exceptionally invasive and painful to us, they are seen as a right-of-passage for young adults in the eyes of their elders; if they can handle the suffering of the modification, they can handle the challenges of being an adult in their community, making us think that Bar Mitzvahs aren’t so bad after all!

For the most part, the cultures in the world that still engage in intense body modifications are those that have been left relatively untouched by the outside world or who have actually gained influence from the practice. Body mod tourism isn’t as rare as you’d think, and is controversial. Although this influx of tourists have brought wealth to impoverished tribes and attention to cultural practices, some argue it has also lead to a deteriorating way of life for many rural people or the cheapening of certain traditions.

Whether or not you support this kind of tourism, one thing is clear: travelers can still catch a glimpse of some pretty unbelievable ethnic body modifications that are currently in practice all over the world.

11 Extraordinary Origami Artworks

No other art form involves mathematics as intrinsically as origami. Nor is any other community of art quite as dependent on the contributions of its members. Every new folding or design technique brings a slew of possibilities. "The process of designing origami figures is cumulative—one uses new techniques, refines old ideas, and one really can’t say that a particular figure is finished until it’s actually folded," says artist Robert J. Lang. Below, see 11 finished products, all of which represent a beautiful blending of talent, technique and science.



"Cocker"


French artist Eric Joisel designed and folded this dog in 2002 from a rectangular sheet of Canson fine art paper using the "wet-folded" technique invented by Japanese origami master Akira Yoshizawa.



"Goldfish"


In 2004, Joisel created this burnt-orange goldfish using a square-shaped blend of washi—a type of paper made in Japan from natural tree bark fibers—and sandwich foil.




"Dwarf N°3"


In 2004, Joisel created this dwarf violinist—demonstrating his fascination with J.R.R. Tolkien's work—from a blend of sandwich paper and foil.





"Ent"


Joisel recreated this fictional character based on the race of trees with humanlike qualities from The Lord of the Rings in 2004 from a blend of sandwich paper and foil.



"Stag Beetle BP" (Opus 477)


Known as one of the pioneers of the cross-disciplinary marriage of origami and mathematics, artist Robert J. Lang composed and folded this 5" arthropod using one uncut square of Origamido paper.




"Elephant" (Opus 111)


Lang created this sculpture, which is featured in his book The Complete Book of Origami, using one uncut square of kami paper.



"Allosaurus Skeleton" (Opus 326)


Lang created this 24" model—which, according to his website, was inspired by the late Issei Yoshino's Tyrannosaurus Rex—using 16 uncut squares of Wyndstone Marble (a.k.a. Elephant Hide) paper.




"3D Teapot"


Japanese artist Tomohiro Tachi folded this work, which was featured in the Siggraph 2007 Teapot Exhibit, using one piece of square paper, modeled after the Utah (or Newell) teapot, a mathematical model of an ordinary teapot.



"Leaf of Kajinoki"


Tachi designed this rendition of a mulberry leaf using Origamizer—a 3D origami design software that generates a crease pattern that folds into a given polyhedron, which Tachi developed himself.


"Camel"


Origami artist John Montroll—who invented the Dog Base and Insect Base folding techniques—developed this camel design in the 1980s, which was folded by German artist Sebastian Kirsch from a 30 cm square of foil-backed mulberry paper.




“Handshake”


This work was commissioned by the Aberdeen Asset Management Annual Report, for which artist Nick Robinson composed and folded several designs using newspaper in 2000. Each hand was created using one sheet of paper.

The Bicycle Built To Party

“Ryan Lloyd and Derek Collins are betting that exercising – or at least a little bit of it – and partying go hand in hand. The two young entrepreneurs, longtime friends going back to their high-school days at Wauwatosa East, are partners in a 16-person bicycle-powered party on wheels. Called Milwaukee Pedal Tavern, the vehicle has been spotted around town for pub crawls, graduation parties and bachelor or bachelorette parties. The vehicle can hold up to 16 people, and 10 of the seats are pedal-powered. One person can sit in the middle of the vehicle and help serve beverages and food to fellow partygoers. The charge is about $160 an hour. During one recent outing, Milwaukee Pedal Tavern brought a group from the bars along W. Blue Mound Road to Miller Park for a Milwaukee Brewers game. Lloyd said the pedal tavern idea surfaced in Europe and has proved popular in Germany and the Netherlands. Lloyd spotted it in Minneapolis, where more than 17,000 people have climbed aboard. Lloyd, convinced the idea would be a success in Milwaukee, obtained the distribution rights for Milwaukee, bought one vehicle and has plans to buy another.”

Snake Temple

The Snake Temple (simplified Chinese: 蛇庙; pinyin: Shé Miào) is situated in Sungai Kluang, Bayan Lepas, Penang, Malaysia and is perhaps the only temple of its kind in the world. The temple is filled with the smoke of burning incense and a variety of pit vipers. The vipers are believed to be rendered harmless by the sacred smoke, but as a safety precaution, the snakes have also been de-venomed but still have their fangs intact, visitors are warned against picking up the reptiles and placing them on their bodies for taking pictures. Local devotees believe that the temple's snake population has come there of its own accord.

The temple was built circa 1850 in memory of Chor Soo Kong, by a Buddhist monk who moved to Penang. Chor Soo Kong was born with the Tan surname in China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was very serious about spiritual attainment and was ordained at a young age. Legend has it that Chor Soo Kong, who was also a healer, gave shelter to the snakes of jungle. When he died at the age of 65 after a lifetime of good deeds, he was bestowed the honorific title Chor Soo, meaning an eminent historic figure continuously revered by a community generation after generation. After the completion of the temple, snakes appeared on their own accord. The Snake Temple was originally named the "Temple of the Azure Cloud" in honor of the beauty of Penang's sky.

Believers from as far away as Singapore and Taiwan come to pray in the temple on Chor Soo Kong's birthday (the sixth day of the first lunar month).

Montauk Monster

New Montauk Monster sighting? Bizarre creature washes up in small Ontario town

Locals in a small Canadian town have been stumped by the appearance of a bizarre creature, which was dragged from a lake.

The animal, which has a long hairy body with bald skin on its head, feet and face, has prompted wild internet speculation that it is a more evolved version of the famous 'Montauk monster'.

The creature was discovered by two nurses in the town of Kitchenuhmaykoosib in Ontario, Canada, while out on a walk with their dog.

When the dog began sniffing in the lake, the two women started investigating, before the dog pulled the dead animal out.

After taking some photographs of the odd animal, the nurses left it alone. When locals decided to go back and retrieve the body, it has disappeared.

The photographs have now been posted on a local website, with an explanation which reads: 'This creature was first discovered by Sam the Dog, a local dog.

'It was discovered first week of May in the creek section of town, hikers noticed Sam sniffing something in the water and they approached to see in what the Sam had detected and they noticed the creature in the water face down.

The dog jumped in the lake and pulled the creature to the rocks and dragged it out for the hikers to see and these are the photos they took.

'The creature's tail is like a rat's tail and it is a foot long.'

There has been much speculation about what kind of species the animal is.

The body of the creature appears to look something like an otter, while its face - complete with long fang-like teeth, bears a striking resemblance to a boar-like animal.

Even the local police chief Donny Morris is baffled, saying: 'What it is, I don't know. I'm just as curious as everyone else.'

The pictures of the animal have caused mass speculation online, from bloggers who are all stumped as to what the creature could be.

One internet blogger wrote: 'That certainly is a face only a mother can love. It looks like some sort of otter, weasel-type thing.'

While another added: 'Some kind of mustelid - I thought otter first.

'Being in the water and bashed around has made the fur on the face and tail come off so clean like that.'

Many people have suggested the animal could be a new 'Montauk monster' - due to the similarities between these photographs and those of a different creature which washed up in Montauk, New York, in 2008.

The animal, which quickly earned the nickname the 'Montauk monster', thanks to the beach's location to a Long Island government animal testing facility, has never been officially identified - although the general consensus is that it was some kind of racoon.

However, other bloggers have speculated that the new creature discovered is a type of chupacabra, or 'goatsucker'.

The chupacabra is rumoured to inhabit parts of the U.S. , with many several hundred eyewitness accounts over the past few years.

But despite these sightings, the majority of biologists and wildlife experts believe the chupacabra is a contemporary legend.
