Lying on a Giant Bubble - My Modern Metropolis

http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/lying-on-a-giant-bubble Last week, Alice told us about Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno's interactive installation called Cloud Cities . The display consists of twenty clear orbs of varying sizes being suspended at different heights. Within each orb is a different organic material like water or plant life. New photos have emerged which show its real appeal - viewers can interact with all of the bubbles! Whether you choose to climb on top or go inside, there are ladders available to guide spectators to a globe of fun.

Dibujos hiperrealistas que difícilmente creerás que no son fotografías: la obra de Paul Cadden | Pijamasurf

Los dibujos hiperrealistas de Paul Cadden, tienen la intención de cuestionar la mediatización de la realidad de acuerdo a agendas corporativas y gubernamentales. De acuerdo con este talentoso escocés, la tergiversación permanente de la “realidad” por parte de los medios, favorece intereses particulares y condiciona la forma de ver las cosas. “Considero que la creación de arte no debe conducir a la alienación y en cambio puede ser altamente reconfortante: uno deposita su subjetividad dentro de un objeto e incluso puedes alegrarte ante el hecho de que alguien más lo disfrute, ‘lo personal res lo político’.

Carved Book Landscapes by Guy Laramee | Colossal

For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall , where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. Of these works he says: So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. They erode a bit more and they become hills.

This Isn’t a Painting | Mighty Optical Illusions

Few months ago, way back in March, I showed you some incredible works by #Alexa Meade (whenever you see # in front of a word, it means it’s a tag linked to related stuff). Many of you couldn’t believe that her paintings were actually real life people , body-painted in such a way to look as an acrylic masterpiece . The illusion works best when you see the installation up-close.

Yuki Matsueda

‘While most designers are busying adding more and more elements into their artworks, Japan-based Yuki Matsueda has, however, managed to let some elements escape from his art pieces. The result seems quite amazing… A vivid 3D image is successfully created and all the elements are believed to be more shocking than those stay still on paper.’
