The two had never met before, but found an instant connection while snooping around an old junk market in Berlin. Watch the video to learn more about their shared interest in design and their manipulation of everyday objects.

Titled “The Phoenix is closer than it appears,” the room was constructed by artist Thilo Frank at the Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg, Denmark. The Matrix-like space also features a swing that allows visitors an opportunity to view hundreds of cloned reflections swinging at all possible angles. I can think of quite a few illicit substances that should probably not be consumed before entering this room. (via designboom, myedol)

Voice Array and Last Breath by Rafeal Lozano-Hemmer Rafeal Lozano-Hemmer is largely known for his large scale installations that invite audience participation. An extension of this participation is also how he takes elements of physical interaction and gives them digital or technological corollaries. His latest show at Bitforms Gallery is no different. Although, ironically, rather than taking something inherently physical, it takes the more ephemeral qualities of the human body and extends their lifespan. Last Breath and Voice Array take the voice and breath, respectively, and ‘show’ them, vis a vis a physical installation. Similarly, Voice Array takes the human voice and translates it into a horizontal series of flashing lights. To that point, as part of the opening, the gallery had invited legendary beatboxer and member of the Roots, Rahzel to perform into the Voice Array. Both installations take something that humans do that doesn’t necessarily have a perceivable shape and imposes one upon it so as to make it controllable.
