Thx deathbymetal - spidoman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+67Well there's your problem!
- gfixler, on 10/11/2007, -1/+67Perhaps it is not the house which is trippy, but the way in which we perceive it that is indeed trippy.
edit: man, I should've just said "yeah." - LordStryker, on 10/11/2007, -5/+67Not only did he divide by zero, he multiplied it by the square root of a negative
- deathbymetal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+57would you have seen in without digg in the first place?

- HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -5/+48Damn kids and their graviton firecrackers! Get off my lawn!
- EatingPie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34This house was an art project (obviously!) that dealt with temporary structures. I believe it was up for a few months, then torn down. The artists used lumber from structures damaged during a hurricane... in Texas I believe. It's an awesome sight, and these are the best pictures I've seen of it.
This particular piece has a name, and I can't remember it. :-( Unfortunately I could only to get to the mirror, and it had nothing about the name of the project or this specific piece.
-Pie - kingfoot, on 10/11/2007, -1/+27how can a hole be impaled on something?

- tagerton, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Actually, my high-school adviser, Mr. Havel made this as an art project in Houston. It's called the Inversion house I believe. It is pretty neat, despite looking a little, well, odd.
- TenebrousX, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8key word: imaginary. As in not in the real world.

Inversion
A House installation by Dan Havel & Dean RuckInversion
"The Implosion" Text by Arthur Wortmann, courtesy Mark Magazine,Issue #2, Spring 2006
"In the summer of 2005, an extraordinary structure on Montrose Boulevard in Houston took motorists by surprise. A wooden building had obviously been struck by a passing tornado. Sucked by a raging force from the back of the building, the boards of the facade frantically twisted into what looked like a horizontal chimney that had ripped a hole through a second wooden building sanding several metres behind the first. Passers-by were inescapably drawn to the vortex of the wooden wreckage; if they didn't blink, for a fraction of a second they could see straight through both buildings.
It was not a diabolical natural disaster that was responsible for this scene but a pair of artists, Dan Havel and Dean Ruck. The two wooden buildings - used for decades by the local arts council, Art League Houston, as classrooms and exhibition space - were to be replaced by a new-build project. For the few months that they awaited the demolition crew, they were reincarnated as an architectonic installation. Owing to the lack of a budget, Havel and Ruck erected the work with the materials on hand: dismantling the existing building, board by board, they used the old timber to realize their installation. The project became a kind of exercise in architectonic excavation; they turned the premises inside out. Impossible to illustrate the implosion of a recycling process in a more salient way.
If ever a structure deserved the label 'uncanny', it has to be Inversion House, a building stripped of its soul, devoid of life. Its gaping hole fulfilled the same role as the hall closet in Mark Danielewski's brilliant novel House of Leaves (the space tunnels into a dark and never-ending void) : both were sinister signs of the presence of another dimension. That the installation has now been demolished is an apt part of the picture. As a memory, the image is a haunting reminder that although architecture exists to provide shelter, buildings do not always assure peace of mind." - SeBBBe, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Google ad: "Random Drug Testing"
- catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5why wouldn't you?
- Nojukuo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3holy s**t! if i saw that for the first time driving by my head would explode.
- nestafett, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I went through a hole like that once and ended up stranded on an island in the south pacific with a scottish guy pushing a damned button over and over and over and over and over and over
- kirtap, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Pretty sure its in Houston, around the Montrose area. Not sure of name either.
- arcooke, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This house is right by downtown Houston, TX.. I went past it a couple years ago while on vacation... it looks a lot cooler in person than it does in the pictures believe it or not. There's lots of artsy stuff around that area like this. It's also probably one of the only places you'll go to that has houses in the middle of a neighborhood converted into small businesses like barber shops. It's a weird place.
- xstarsprinklesx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3If I were already on my way to heaven, what would I need church for?
- crazybrit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Wow, Trax... you sure got us!
- deathbymetal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I forgot to post this...
Here is an article about the tunnel, just tells a little about it. http://www.southwestmsu.edu/CampusLife/Attractions/Gallery//wwgalumniartists2005reviews.htm - sronbheatha, on 10/11/2007, -8/+10Someone should look into that.
