Ryder Ripps has taken on the project of drinking a ton of Red Bull and working out of the Red Bull Music Academy offices to see what ideas he can come up with. He's documenting the entire performance on his Twitter and Livejournal, calling it #HyperCurrentLiving. As one of our 25 Internet Artists You Need to Know, Ripps continues to push the limits of what can be done online, and #HyperCurrentLiving is just one of his many impressive personal and commercial works to date.

These are some of the brilliant ideas he's come up with at hyper-Red-Bull-induced speed so far. We hope most or all of them come to fruition.
