The Infinity Room 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. “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 Tags: Serge Salat, The Infinity Room, architecture, design

The Ruins of Detroit – Plog Photo Blog Posted Feb 07, 2011 Share This Gallery inShare850 Up and down Detroit’s streets, buildings stand abandoned and in ruin. French photographers Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre set out to document the decline of an American city. Their book “The Ruins of Detroit“, a document of decaying buildings frozen in time, was published in December 2010. From the photographers’ website: Ruins are the visible symbols and landmarks of our societies and their changes, small pieces of history in suspension. The state of ruin is essentially a temporary situation that happens at some point, the volatile result of change of era and the fall of empires. Photography appeared to us as a modest way to keep a little bit of this ephemeral state.

Deep Sea Lighting For Your Home In H.P. Lovecraft's "From Beyond," the eccentric, intensely imaginative writer describes a machine capable of elucidating the true nature of organic life and, in the process, awakening our "dormant organs" to the material substance of the universe. Upon activation, the electrical machine reveals the thickness of universal space, in which "not one particle was vacant," saturated with the enmeshed bodies of jellyfish-like, semi-fluid creatures. That's more or less how I would imagine a fleet of Kateřina Smolíková's Skyphos 1 chandeliers would appear when tethered to the ceiling of a darkened room.
