Photos: via Zaciu's Flickr It's not often that you get to say a cauliflower looks eerie—a pumpkin, maybe, but not a cauliflower. Zaciu drills small holes inside the fruits so he can insert the required light sources, and then photographs them using long exposure in a dark space to capture the faint light that shines through. On his Flickr page, he explains: The light coming from its core gives the subject a different appearance from what we are used to.

51 Of The Most Beautiful Sentences In Literature Enter Peter Kogler's Rooms of Illusions MSU, museum of contemporary art Zagreb, 2014 Images via For 30 years, Peter Kogler has been adorning floors, walls, and ceilings with hypnotizing line designs that seem to move and bend the space in unnatural ways. For his most recent work, a new exhibit at Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art, Kogler once again takes an ordinary “box-shaped” space and transforms it into a “virtual maze” of time and space. The Zagreb exhibit begins with a curtain painted with red intersecting lines that opens up into an immense audio-visual installation inspired by Blade Runner and Fritz Lang films. In honor of his latest work, here's a look back at 30 years of his most powerful illusionary spaces: Galerie im Taxispalais, Innsbruck, 2014 Photo: Atelier Kogler U-Bahn Karlsplatz, Wien, 2011/12 Photo: Iris Ranzinger DIRIMART Gallery, Istanbul, 2011 Photo: Atelier Kogler Museu Coleccao Berardo, Lissabon, 2009. ohne Titel, Installation, Galerie & Edition Artelier, Graz, 2000 h/t Scene 360 Related:
Watch a Square Evolve in This Projection-Mapped Installation A large, square button rests beneath the trio of picture frames in animation duo Grade Die's new installation at Cologne, Germany's GOLD + BETON Gallery, begging visitors to press it. When they do, the seemingly static rectangles come alive with projection-mapped lights and shapes designed by the Fun with Fluids animators, to tell the story of a square escaping its two-dimensional fate and becoming a 3D object. That journey earns the installation its name, Squarevolution, but the co-creator Lenny Grade tells The Creators Project that it's more about humanity's growth than geometry. "The switch was placed with the purpose to connect the evolution of the square with a human impulse or, one thought further, to connect the human to the square," Grade explains. "Everyone knows what it feels like [to experience] what the square is going through." Squarevolution premiered at GOLD + BETON on February 6.

World Leaders Are People Too: Artist Shows Them Doing Their “Duty” Given all the hefty decisions that today’s world leaders often have to grapple with on a daily basis, it can be easy to forget that they’re people too. Italy-based artist Cristina Guggeri, however, hasn’t forgotten, and she’s out to remind the rest of us with a series of images called Il Dovere Quotidiano, or “The Daily Duty,” that humanize some of the world’s most famous leaders by imagining what they might look like when they answer nature’s call. If you like these tongue-in-cheek images, be sure to check out the rest of Guggeri’s work, because she’s quite a prolific artist!

The rise of the geek artist | ArtsHub Australia Not so long ago you could flunk physics and top the art class. It's getting harder as technology merges with creative work. Image: Wade Marynowsky via In the mid-20th Century artist and scientist C.P. Today, skill in Photoshop, Final Cut or ProTools may be more essential than life drawing. Director of Emerging and Experimental Arts at the Australia Council Andrew Donovan said the fundamental concept that art can and should make use of any technology that comes along now widely accepted by audiences. ‘If you think about video and video tape, which was a huge innovation in the 60s and 70s, and part of this whole new genre of video art, people kind of thought it would never take off. A generation later, this flexibility has allowed artists to keep pace with the sharp growth in technology, experimenting with computer-generate imagery, ambisonics, artificial intelligence and many other technologies as they are developed. Andrew Donovan said both are possibilitites.
