Light Sculptures - Sitooterie II

The Sitooterie II is a cube punctured by over 5000 long thin windows that project from all its surfaces and lift it off the ground. As the long thin windows all point at the exact centre of the cube, it only takes a single light source, located at this central point, to send light through every tube, causing the windows to glow orange. It located at Barnards Farm, Essex, UK(Pic). Designed by Heatherwick studio. Amazing! The 50 beautiful examples of light art - paintings, sculptures, drawings and graffitts which were created using light. Check out see more lighting art pics.

Touched Echo

Touched Echo is a minimal medial intervention in public space. The visitors of the Br¨¹hl's Terrace (Dresden, Germany) are taken back in time to the night of the terrible air raid on 13th February 1945. In their role as a performer they put themselves into the place of the people who shut their ears away from the noise of the explosions. While leaning on the balustrade the sound of airplanes and explosions is transmitted from the swinging balustrade through their arm directly into into the inner ear (bone conduction). It invites the visitors to interact and hear the airplanes transmitted via bone conduction.

Glass Rayguns by Jeff Burnette

Jeff Burnette has been working in hot glass since 1979, included these pretty Glass Rayguns. Obviously he is also a sci-fi fan. These are blown and manipulated hot glass objects. A transparent colour is picked up on the pipe, then clear glass is gathered on top. The piece is then blown out and shaped to the desired form. Coloured bits are added. Once the bits are in place, the handle and trigger are applied to the piece, the Raygun is then knocked off the blowpipe into the annealer to cool over a fifteen-hour cycle. Once cooled, the piece is ground and sent out for silvering or completed. The Raygun is a bubble with a transparent colour on the inside. The silvering is a solution of silver nitrate, ammonia, and distilled water that is mixed and poured into the open end of the gun. The silver sticks to the inside of the piece just like a mirror. The final step is chemically bonding a machined stainless steel end to the piece.

DIY IKEA COFFIN

DIY IKEA COFFIN($27.50; some assembly required) by Joe Scanlan. You can enjoy the same piece of mind by investing in your eventual demise. Here at Things That Fall we offer three different burial options. Custom is an elegant and unique vessel crafted in Australia entirely from Tasmanian Blackwood and shipped to you. As the brand name implies, Custom is no off-the-shelf coffin, with not one of its construction angles being a reasonable 90 degrees. Day Bed is just as meticulously crafted as Custom, but its care is devoted to a gorgeous inlaid surface that creates an illusory, coffered effect. Very clean and very modern. DIY is the most economical of the three, but is a great choice for anyone who prefers that their funeral be a modest but stylish affair.

Enchanted Doll

Last time you have seen a amazing doll Pics, today we will update this doll info. The Enchanted Doll by artist Marina Bychkova from Siberia. Marina has created a new doll - Mermaid Song. "Tattooed porcelain 13.5" tall, Articulated, porcelain, China paint, silk hair. The porcelain is engraved with a needle while still raw, fired and then china paint is rubbed into the grooves. Accents are added in additional layers." If you want to a enchanted custom doll, you can check out from Marina's website. The dolls are more anatomically correct than your average Barbie doll; why was it important to include detailed genitalia? It's compulsory. Most of the dolls, both, Fine Art and children's dolls, though try to imitate human form, are sterilized through a complete removal of sex organs. " It's as if they need to be cleansed of all their sinful humanity. I find this deliberate denial of the essence of life to be ignorant and appalling. I don't know why there is so much fear and shame associated with human sexuality. Every Barbie needs to have a vagina. Every Ken needs a penis. I think it's time the dolls leave the realm of tea parties and innocence and address some important issues. More interview from Pixelsurgeon. "
