From Left to Right: Alain Macklovitch aka A-TRAK It's been more than ten years since Alain Macklovitch, a.k.a A-TRAK, won DMC's World DJ Championship at the tender age of 15. The Montreal native has been on a collision course with superstardom ever since - drawing inspiration from big bro David Macklovitch of Chromeo and Kanye West, who took the young DJ under his wing in 2004, giving him a spont on his tour and his first real fade (Sabrina Jaszi) Agathe Snow Agathe Snow could be considered a post-media artist. For her installation "No Need To Worry, the Apocalypse Has Already Happened," she created a post-apocalyptic Manhattan refuge/bunker built inside the stomach of a modern whale. Her other works, which have been shown at the Whitney and featured in New York Magazine and i-D, also hint at the collapse of civilization. However, Snow's palate is not confined to the dark and decaying. She recently documented her voyage from Chinatown, NY to Chinatown, LA, making a sculpture of all the belongings she brought with her, practicing tai chi and eating only Chinese food along the way. Chinese food in Kansas? That's suffering for your arts. (Oliver Noble) Lux Alptraum Lux Alptraum's lifelong obsession with sex found its ideal mate on the Internet, and for the past 10 years she has taken the come-one-come-all approach to educating the masses about her favorite subject. Alptraum serves as associate editor at Gawker Media's sex and porn blog, Fleshbot and as editor of Boinkology, where she incites discussions on sex, relationships and other pressing topics such as "Boobs. How big is too big?" (Marcy Kelly) Carlen Altman For centuries, the Catholic faith held a monopoly on the single coolest religious accessory, but that's all changing now with the advent of the Jewish rosary. Twenty-five-year-old Oberlin graduate and aspiring comedian Carlen Altman has decided it's time to take the prayer beads, worn by devout Catholics Pete Doherty and Madonna in the '80s, and add stars of David, chais and hamsas. Already featured in Lucky Magazine and InTouch, Altman operates out of her Brighton Beach home, which is now piled to the ceiling with bulk orders of glow-in-the-dark beads and silver-metallic rosary cases from China.
