À mi-chemin entre la sculpture et le paper-toy, ces portraits de papier sont impressionnants de réalisme. Ces incroyables œuvres d'art ont été créées par l'artiste sculpteur d'origine néerlandaise Bert Simons. Ce dernier est parvenu, grâce à une technique bien particulière, à réaliser ces portraits en trois dimensions uniquement avec du papier. Pour ces créations, l'artiste prend tout d'abord de nombreux repères sur le visage de ses modèles, puis reconstitue ensuite celui-ci en 3D à l'aide du logiciel Blender.

Living Light Sculpture Reveals Air Quality of Seoul Check out how a retro glass sculpture maps the city’s air quality ! In the center of Seoul ’s Peace Park , which is located across from the Korean World Cup Stadium, lies a very extraordinary sight: an outdoor glass canopy called the Living Light Sculpture. Created by Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin of The Living , and commissioned by the Korean Ministry of Environment, this amazing sculpture is more than just a fantastic piece of art. The glass skin on the sculpture is a map that covers 27 local neighborhoods, and every 15 minutes certain sections light up to tell you which city has the best and worst air quality. The coolest thing about the sculpture is that you can send a text message of a certain area code to the Living Light Hotline, and then minutes later you’ll receive a reply back that tells you the area code’s air quality. This is a very cool invention that designers Yang and Benjamin hope to see attached to the side of a building one day. digg

Art Crush : Adam Oehlers Illustrations - Art Crush By Vivianne Lapointe 28 Mar 2012 @ 9:52 am | Categorized: Art Crush, Live_Art> Adam Oehlers has a wild, wild imagination. The UK-based illustrator and sculptor describes his work as “all part of a world that is not so different from ours, a grim, cobbled place that is trapped in its own time, with some little elements of odd magic which creep in at the edges.” His scenes seem straight out of a fairytale gone wrong, with mad scientists, scary robots, filthy bookcases and sad little girls which are equally creepy and charming.

The display consists of twenty clear orbs of varying sizes being suspended at different heights. Within each orb is a different organic material like water or plant life. New photos have emerged which show its real appeal - viewers can interact with all of the bubbles! If you're in Berlin, you can climb into an orb yourself because Cloud Cities will be at the Hamburger Bahnof (Museum of Contemporary Art) until January 15, 2012.
