Cardboard Headphones Make The Beat Drop. Do they have noise cancellation? Nope. A bass boost mode? Definitely not. What about a 3.5mm jack to plug into an iPod? Negatory! But you know what? “In this case the materials and set-up is super simple, but the sound and motion it is generating is kind of complex,” explains Zimoun team member Ulf Kallscheidt. These deceptively simple audio setups are a theme for Zimoun (both the studio and the artist that goes by the same name), which is known for building massive, concussive installations using everything from cotton ball drummers banging inside a fluid tank to IV bags dripping on sizzling-hot metal slabs.
Zimoun installations activate space ad architecture to create complex sound space. Indeed, there’s something about the simple industrial design that allows us to enjoy the quirkiness of these humble cardboard headphones as much as we might a mega sonic installation.

Complexity Graphics by Tatiana Plakhova. I’ve been waiting months for the opportunity to bring Tatiana Plakhova’s work onto Colossal but wanted to make sure it was something brand new that hadn’t been widely circulated online. Just today she published this incredible new series of digital artwork called NOOSPHERE that blends her signature algorithmic and gemotetric line work with landscape photography.
If her work is new to you and you want to learn more, start here. View on Canadian Art » Grow Op: Meditations on Landscape at the Gladstone Hotel, Part One. I stopped by the Gladstone Hotel‘s latest design exhibition last night. Curated by landscape architect Victoria Taylor, it’s the inaugural year of Grow Op, a landscape-based exhibition of experimental works that seek to ‘uncover new ways of expression and meaning through projects that represent a wide range of approaches from the prosaic to the poetic, the elemental to the ephemeral.’ Grow Op curator, the landscape architect Victoria Taylor in front of a painting by Nick Sweetman. All images: VoCA It reminded me of the wonderful Come Up to my Room, the design exhibition that celebrated ten years at the Gladstone this past January. Read my blog post about it HERE. Grow Op is similarly enchanting. The best work was GeoGarden by the intriguing artist Karen Abel with soundscape by Rose Bolton, which I’ll feature in part two of this post.
Grow Op is at the Gladstone Hotel, Toronto until Sunday April 28. Here are some images. Iris Fraser-Gudrunas, Flickering Flora. Ryan Taylor, Babylon Light. Michael Johansson. Photo Album.

The Paradox of GIF-iti: Street Art You Can See Only Online - Rebecca J. Rosen. An artist's quest to make art tailored to the Internet, in the physical spaces of modern Los Angeles, London, and Newcastle That up there might look like some very cool but not particularly unusual street art. And that's pretty much what it is, if you were to see it on the London street where it lives. But that physical instantiation is only a remnant of an art project, not its final stage -- an art project meant not for a city's streets, but for the Internet's showrooms. Here is it in its completed form, a GIF: GIF-iti, as the artist INSA has called it, is a response to the way the Internet simultaneously makes art much easier to access, but constrains our ability to take in. But INSA thought the relationship between art online and off could work another way. GIF-iti in Newcastle (INSA) His most recent GIF-iti project was a collaboration with artist Stanley Donwood, who has long done art for Radiohead and Thom Yorke.
VAN HORN | Katie Holten Selected Works. Meet the Artist Behind Those Amazing, Hand-Knitted Playgrounds. In a world of “dumbed-down,” down-right boring playgrounds, the colorful, architectural masterpieces of Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam stand apart. The Japanese artist knits her amazing projects by hand – her most famous project, for example, inside the “Woods of Net” Pavilion at the Hakone Open Air Museum in Japan, took her about a year to complete. We took a moment to speak with Ms. Horiuchi MacAdam about the Pavilion and her other works, how they bridge the worlds of art and architecture, and how they irresistibly invite the world to play.
You can read our interview, and see more images of her fascinating work, after the break… AD: Some of your earlier works, such as “Fibre Columns / Romanesque Church,” are very architectural in nature – were you inspired early on by architecture? When I was a student at Tama Fine Art University in Tokyo, we were introduced to the work of Antonio Gaudi by a professor of architecture. When I was working as a textile designer in NYC, I began to question: Frosty Crop Circles Made With Snowshoes. The time it takes to create great art is often unfathomable, but imagine if snow were the medium and each piece could take up to ten hours! That sounds excruciating! Snow artist Simon Beck does just that, creating intricate geometric patterns reminiscent of crop circles in the snow, often on top of lakes, in the middle of the night! He plans his designs with a ruler and protractor, then straps on his snowshoes, and super-sizes the pattern with his footsteps.
Most of his designs are completed at the ski resort Les Arcs, in the French Alps, where he lives for the Winter. What a remarkable sight to see from a ski lift! See Also PLASTIC CUPS BECOME FIELDS OF SNOW The purpose of his work, according to Beck: It’s wonderful to see Beck going after his passion, no matter how crazy some people may think he is. Plastic Cups Become Fields of Snow. It’s not the first thing you think of when you see a package of plastic cups, but Tara Donavan has been making beautiful sculptures with the mass produced items… and they look a lot like fields of snow. By taking transparent plastic cups and stacking them at varying heights, then placing them side-by-side, she makes a rolling field of white.
It looks almost soft enough to make a snow angel. See Also Huge Magazine Sculptures Swallow Objects Whole Donovan’s works use products like Scotch tape, styrofoam cups and drinking straws to create sculptural works with a biomorphic style. Because of their mostly brilliant white color, the shapes take on an inviting and clean feeling often resembling snow or soap bubbles. While the works have a very natural look to them, Donovan has this to say: “It is not like I’m trying to simulate nature. It’s more of a mimicking of the way of nature, the way things actually grow. . ” ↬ sweet-station, wikipedia. Humanæ. 1.

Wonderland by Kirsty Mitchell: heart-breakingly beautiful photographic series in memory of an extraordinary life. Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series has been three years in the makingAll costumes, wigs and sets were constructed on a shoestring budgetSome images took up to five months to createShe would often wait an entire year to find the perfect natural setting for her shots By Stephanie Hirschmiller Published: 14:11 GMT, 17 May 2012 | Updated: 09:34 GMT, 18 May 2012 Kirsty Mitchell's late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen's death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography. She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey. 'Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,' said the artist.
