4D is the new big thing in art



You can tell from the smile on this art lover's face that she isn't really in any danger from the pouncing lion that appears within striking distance of her. And the fact that the lion is leaping from a red wardrobe, inspired by the Chronicles of Narnia, tells you something fantastical is occurring in the art world. As 'realistic' as it may look, this incredible painting is simply part of a new exhibition of four dimensional art in North East China. 
This image inspired by The Chronicles Of Narnia is a striking example of the 4D art on offer in China.

Pinocchio's nose juts out from the canvas, allowing this lady to pose as part of the picture for her own photo.




Even when you know the tricks the artists are employing, you can still be taken in by the levels of depth perception in the images.

Could this interactive art experience replace a trip to the farm.


Could it make skydiving a lot safer for those with vertigo?



What's the catch? These girls managed to hook a bear on the end their salmon during a quiet day's fishing at the Jilin gallery. 

Visitors have streamed into the gallery since the interactive exhibition opened
  This lady took the unique opportunity to share an easel with Vincent Van Gogh and polish off an unfinished portrait of the artist.

The Incredible Audi A8 L W12

Equipped with a powerful 6.3 FSI petrol engine, the newest variant of Audi’s flagship sets new standards of luxury, dynamism and efficiency, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds to effortlessly reach its governed top speed of 250 km/h.

 

Audi, the German luxury car manufacturer, has introduced the top version of its flagship model - the new Audi A8 L W12 quattro.

The new Audi A8 L W12 will be priced at a whopping Rs 1.26 crore (ex showroom Maharashtra).




Audi states that the subtle visual details distinguish the new A8 L W12 quattro from the other cars in this model line.

The single-frame radiator grille with integral grid structure has a high – gloss black paint finish and special chromed horizontal bars.

There are also chromed inserts of new design in the air inlets, and chromed applications on the exterior mirrors.

W12 badges are displayed on the single-frame grille and at the rear of the car. The exhaust system has two trapezoidal-pattern tailpipe trims neatly integrated into the rear bumper.

Gear shifts are performed electronically (“shift by wire”) from an elegant yacht-style selector lever or at steering wheel paddles.

The A8 L has a body built from aluminum using the Audi Space Frame (ASF) principle and therefore weighing about 40 percent less than a comparable steel body.
