Vik muniz is a extremely fun artist with some bewildering projects. The picture above is him drawing clouds in the sky, with those exhaust stunt planes. He’s got drawings made from wires, finger paintings using sugar, crop drawings from the sky, and a bunch of other projects that just make you smile. I first met him at the TED conference and have been following his work since. Go to his pages and listern to his commentaries about his work.

Daniel Rozins Wooden Mirror magically reflects your own pixelated image back to you by programming wooden chips to angel at different levels based on the amount of light you are reflecting. This is one of those “physical pixelation” projects that I like sooooo much. I had the chance to interact with it and it’s uber-tastic. In fact, it’s actually hard to tell what the image is since your so close to it, but the lovely part is the nostalgic flickering of wooden panels playing an orchestrated tune based on your movements. Sounds like those train old school train ticker panels.
Watch the videos at the below links or after the jump.
Loftcube is a pretty sweet project done by Werner Aisslinger. The idea behind the Loftcube is a portable customized living space that stations on top of roofdecks with unbelievable views. There are a bunch of really beautiful elements within this space that are worth checking out. (personally I liked the bathroom section) The site has a pretty nice presentation along with some chill happening music.loftcube

Pixelating images has been a trend for some time now, but physically pixelating an object is somewhat new, besides all those pixel bots or lego brick objects. Anyhow, perhaps it’s just me and I’m behind in this trend… I love this watch, even though its not available for purchase yet.
Have you ever been tucked into your sleeping bag while camping, then had the need to get out, but didnt want to lose the warmth of the bag? Well, the Selk Bag is a great little “Why didnt I think of that” design that allows you to be a walking sleeping bag comfortably. Be fun to spot a clan of people walking around in these.Selk Bag

Fire is such a magical event…you stare, stare, and stare…forever..and along with an amaaazzzzing environment, it just makes you sooooo relaxed.
If you ever get the chance, go down to Providence RI for their enchanting “waterfire” events, packed full of eclectic people, mystic music, crackling wood fires, yummy street food, and at times, fireworks, jazz festivals, and outside dance floors. It’s a definite experience like no other thats free every few weeks during the summer.waterfire
