The result is an amazing blotted fusion of kaleidoscopic patterns and rainbow colours, which kind of looks like the psychedelic shapes butterfly wing’s make when seen through a microscope. Daniel Eatock’s new pen paintings are in line with his incredibly witty and inventive style, and his new work also includes a tiny white paper clip cut out from paper, and an entirely perforated stamp, which Daniel made as a proposal for the Royal Mail.
Looking through Daniel’s new work is always refreshingly surprising and unexpected, but one thing is consistently certain, it’s never a disappointment. Art: Thousands of LED screens create Discovery Wall for NYC medical college. Squint/Opera and Hirsch&Mann: Discovery Wall for The Weill Cornell Medical College Biomedical research centres aren’t renowned for creative enterprise – why should they be – but across the pond one New York organisation is bucking the trend with a stunning new digital artwork.
The Weill Cornell Medical College commissioned London-based creative agencies Squint/Opera and Hirsch&Mann to produce the Discovery Wall for its new Manhattan premises and the results are super-impressive. The final piece comprises 2,800 LED screens set behind a bank of lenticular discs. For passers-by it can be viewed as a large-scale digital artwork but up close the screens display content that relates to the college’s pioneering scientific research. There’s a nice making-of below in which the creatives explain the project’s ongoing potential, built around the college being able to upload content through their CMS. Art: Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room is an installation like no other.
Yayoi Kusama is one of a kind.
Her signature polka dots have become widely recognised across the world, gracing trees, Louis Vuitton bags, mannequins and buildings alike, and seeing her rise to success in New York, France and her native Japan in the process. And yet, her entire oeuvre and all of the books she written were created from the confines of psychiatric hospital which she voluntarily submitted herself to in 1977, and has lived in ever since. Fascinated by such an idiosyncratic character, Yayoi’s most recent exhibition I Who Have Arrived in Heaven has New Yorkers queuing around the block outside the David Zwirner gallery in Chelsea to experience her stunning installation, Infinity Mirrored Room – The Souls of Millions of Light Years Away. I Who Have Arrived in Heaven will run until December 21 at David Zwirner in New York. Ryoji Ikeda - db at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin. Data becomes alchemy in Japanese maestro Ryoji Ikeda's jaw-dropping new Berlin installation.
The obvious challenge in reviewing installation art is the inevitable “you had to be there” issue, relying as it does so much on real-time manipulation (in a non pejorative way).
This is especially true of Ryoji Ikeda’s new data.anatomy (civic) piece which opened yesterday in Berlin, combining as it does a massively theatrical setting with a complex piece of video art. Ikeda is renowned for working with sound and light but he’s equally adept at using data and this latest piece came about after he met Honda designer Mitsuru Kariya last year. A series of discussions led to a collaboration and the car giants took the extraordinary step of handing over the complete CAD data of their new Civic – the culmination of four years’ research by thousands of designers – to the artist (which he says was “like being given a secret file from the FBI.”)
The sense of theatre begins as soon as you enter the cold, dark industrial space and climb the steel staircase to where the installation is on show.

It was on this day in 1849 that Henry David Thoreau (books by this author) self-published A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, his first book. Thoreau had always been the introverted and studious one, while John was gregarious and fun-loving. Thoreau said: "To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. Magical Song.
