This, as well as the sand mandalas, are examples of how art reproduction allows others to view art that only a select few would normally be able to see. In addition, the filming of the creation of this art is almost as interesting as the result. The quick, fluidity of this coffee art makes it interesting, and surprising to see the result, whereas the sand mandalas are viewed generally in a time lapse because of the painstaking effort that goes behind the placement of single grains of sand.

Coffee Art
I found this video on youtube the other day. It is a very interesting concept: combining cream with a latte, and sometimes chocolate, to create images in the cup of coffee. This is both an interesting example of food art, and temporary art. I believe that it bears a relation to the sand mandalas, in a much less impressive and meaningful sense, but still at the core is impermanent art.

Oh wow they sure are talented! Very interesting find. It seems people are taking art further and further, to more and more mediums. I would never have considered coffee to be art until this. However, I'm pretty sure that cup of coffee would taste horrible
