Designers Spin Spidey-Worthy Webs From Packing Tape Packing tape has gotten MacGyver out of many a jam, but he never managed to make an entire home out of the stuff. So he could probably learn something from Viennese/Croatian design collective For Use/Numen. The team uses nothing but packing tape to create huge, self-supporting cocoons that visitors could climb inside and explore. Installed three times in the past year, the next deployment will be next week from June 9–13 at DMY Berlin's International Design Fair, which is now in its 8th year. The installations, which look like the work of horrifyingly large arachnids, grew in scale and scope as the year progressed, first deployed inside a small Croatian gallery, then an abandoned attic during October’s Vienna Design Week. At the last installation inside Odeon, a former stock exchange building in Vienna, the group used nearly 117,000 feet and 100 pounds of tape.
GABRIEL DAWE – Installations art pack vol.1 GABRIEL DAWE – website ShareThis Copy and Paste Driftwood Horses by Heather Jansch The work of Heather Jansch started from her two passions: drawing and horses. She has a very interesting and diverse biography, many exhibitions, one book published (Heather Jansch’s Diary: A Year in the Life of….. ), and another one in progress. And some other animals Skin Collages By David Adey | Sculpting Artist David Adey creates these intricate collages by cutting fragments of printed skin from magazine photographs. The original photos are this way reconstructed from thousands of tiny scraps, cut into various geometric shapes and arranged in such a way that they stick on the canvas in only a single pin. It’s a painstaking process that takes up a couple of hundred hours, but the result is amazing and incredibly creative. Enjoy! (via David Adey)

Recycling Artist Creates Portraits From Old Cassettes Photo via Iri5 While reusing the licks, riffs, and lyrics of other artists is fairly common practice in the music world today, one visual artist has begun recycling aging music collections and turning them into truly original creations. Nary a music connoisseur alive doesn't have a few cassette tapes floating around or tucked away in a closet somewhere, safely out of sight. Tubthumping, anyone? But instead of letting those tapes rot away, or worse, fall into the hands of future generations--with a little creativity, they could be turned into real masterpieces that you won't be afraid to show your kids. Artist Erica Iris Simmons creates portraits with recycled material most people would never think to work with--the ribbon inside cassette tapes. Simmons, who works under the pseudonym Iri5, first stumbled upon the idea to transform cassettes into portraits after noting a similarity between a pile of unrolled film and the Jimmy Hendrix's untamed locks.
