Artist suspends real clouds in the middle of the room. Now, I don't mean to belittle this.

Artist suspends real clouds in the middle of the room

The single act of getting it to coalesce and hover in the middle of the room like a blob is ridiculously cool in it of itself. And the lighting and staging are beautiful. But, this really isn't a "cloud", right? I mean, unless I'm mistaken and there are other types of fog machines, which he used. Because the fog machines I've seen all use that solution which while water-based, is also loaded with glycerine and and other stuff to stabilize it and create the mist when it's aerosolized by the heating element. Real clouds are just water vapor, right? But either way, not really trying to steal thunder, just clarifying. Synaptic Stimuli. Music Box. The world's ten creepiest abandoned cities. Ferrofluids Go Next Level Technicolor In Fabian Oefner's Amazing Images.

A ferrofluid is a magnetized liquid that creates all manner of bizarre patterns that look like the surface of a distant planet’s moon.

Because of that, they’ve been featured in a ton of videos and artworks lately, but so far these have mainly been black and white, with maybe some silver thrown in to add a bit of pizzaz. But photographer Fabian Oefner is breaking with this monochromatic tradition by throwing water colors into the mix and bringing in some much-needed luminosity in his series Millefiori. Oefner’s alchemical magic is created by mixing a ferrofluid with water colors in a magnetic field. The field causes the iron particles in the ferrofluid to lose their minds and start to rearrange themselves to form the black channels you see below, while the colors are injected into it using a syringe.

Escher for Real

Escher needs no introduction. We have all learned to appreciate the impossibilities that this master of illusion's artwork presents to the layman's eye. Nevertheless, it may come as a surprise for some, but many of the so-called 'impossible' drawings of M. C. Escher can be realized as actual physical objects. You are also invited to watch our movie: "Escher for Real" and "Impossibly Real".

"Escher for Real" "Impossibly Real" Convention In the following sequences, figures are frequently presented in pairs. The Penrose Triangle We start with the Penrose triangle object (also independently invented by Oscar Reutersvard). The Penrose Rectangle The impossible shape conveyed by the Penrose triangle is the most well-known one. The Penrose Pentagon Similarly and following the construction of a Penrose triangle and Penrose rectangle, one can easily create an arbitrary Penrose n-gon.

The Creators Project. The Infinity Room - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon. With this immersive installation, French artist Serge Salat invites visitors to take a journey through endless layers of space, decked out with cubic shapes, panels of mirrors, shifting lights and music.

The Infinity Room - My Modern Metropolis - StumbleUpon

“Beyond Infinity” is a multi-sensory, multimedia experience that blends Eastern Chinese with Western Renaissance. Inspired by the Suzhou Gardens, a masterpiece of Chinese landscape, the three-lined trigram of I Ching is the main pattern that organizes the space of the work. Salat uses mirrors as optical illusions, exploding a single room into spatial infinity. via [Architizer] Views: 422998.

Bonsai styles, shapes and forms explained. Over the years many styles to classify Bonsai trees have been advanced, closely resembling circumstances in nature.

Bonsai styles, shapes and forms explained

These styles are open to personal interpretation and creativity, meaning that trees do not necessarily need to conform to any form. Still, the styles are important to gain a basic understanding of shapes and should serve as guidelines to successfully train miniature trees. Bonsai styles movie.
