Rune Guneriussen & Escape Into Life - StumbleUpon
These dream-like installations are assembled, and then photographed by Norwegian artist Rune Guneriussen. Just imagine being out for a walk in Norway’s countryside, turning a corner and discovering a magical forest of lamps, a tangle of chairs, or a river of books. Sadly, once the photograph is taken, Rune removes the installation, the only proof of it’s existence being these images… sort of like waking up from an amazing dream that you could have sworn was real. As an artist, I believe strongly that art itself should be questioning and bewildering as opposed to patronising and restricting.
Carnovsky's RGB wallpaper

Sagaki Keita

Feel-o-Meter tells the Prevalent feeling of City Dwellers
Feel-o-Meter is a huge interactive installation on Lindau Island’s light house that shows the prevalent feeling of the city dwellers. Photo feed from various cameras installed on lakeside are fed into a computer that analyzes and gives result like happy, sad or indifferent to the giant smiley on top of the light house. The idea is taken from the project Public Face I installed in Berlin in year 2008 that tells the average mood of the citizens on a large screen. However feel-o-meter is different because it uses kinetically moving parts instead of a screen which looks like a smiley floating on the sky at night.
50 Mind Blowing Sketches
Critic, “I’m an artist myself and” Argument from authority – always a logical fallacy, but even worse when it’s in a subjective field where there arguably can’t be any authorities. “I hate it when people who aren’t artists assume anything someone puts out there is ‘mind-blowing’.” – incredibly condescending, don’t you think? And besides, “assumes” that it is mind-blowing? If the person who posted these pieces had his mind figuratively blown by them, then how can they not be mind-blowing? Who are you to say that they are not, in the face of reality and facts?

Cosmic Animations Capture A Surprising Reality
When I first ran across these cosmically captivating animations by Ignacio Torres, I was sure the sparkling clouds in the images where created on a computer… it really surprised me when I found out they are actually made of colored dust and reflective confetti! Torres, a recent photography graduate from the University of North Texas, began the project with the idea in mind that all human life is ultimately made of cosmic matter, the result of a stars death. He explains: “The models organic bodily expressions as they are frozen in time between the particles suggest their celestial creation. In addition, space and time is heightened by the use of three-dimensional animated gifs.
