Avant Climbing Innovations on Instagram: "As promised, I answered your questions! My two biggest motivators for Avant are: #1 - Making gear that solves real problems for me, then sharing it with the community. #2 - Putting out free, useful climbing info online. I just rolled into Yosemite for the season and am psyched to start climbing on El Cap tomorrow. Full Q&A video is live on YouTube now — hit the link in bio to watch!"

Avant Arte on Instagram: "@thomasmailaender’s ‘Illustrated People’ series features images from the Archive of Modern Conflict projected onto the human body. Using UV light and photographic negatives, he transfers them onto skin, bridging the past and the present. The ghostly, ephemeral works use the body as a site for exploring historical sources – questioning the power of photographic imagery."

Avant Arte on Instagram: "‘Nine Eyes of Google Street View’ is an ongoing project by @jonrafman, assembled from the online exploration tool that has, unintentionally, become a global visual archive. While the imagery has been taken automatically, Jon manages to find every facet of human existence within it."

Avant Arte on Instagram: "Situated in rural Nevada, ‘City’ is a monumental artwork by Michael Heizer. Deliberately inaccessible, only a handful of visitors are allowed onto the site at a time, and reservations are hard to come by. The work explores themes of permanence, scale, and contemporary urban life. Primarily constructed with local materials and designed to cause minimal disruption to the environment, the colossal sculpture is a 1.5-mile-long testament to ambition."
