You Make Me So Happy is a blog by Nicolas Sassoon, filled with his amazing animations and bitmap images. These ones are called free-cuts, but the ones on his site are even bigger and better (they would loose their effect if I would scale them down).
This made my day!





Habitable Egg is new 3D paper model by Horst Kiechle. Have a look at his Spiky Basket too.

Kai is a wall installation by the Polish artist Jerzy Goliszewski.
Kai was intended as a hermeneutic answer to H.Ch. Andersen’s fairy tale “The Snow Queen”.
The form of the installation has been inspired by structures – such as the crumbling sheet of ice, the cracked ground or the rough surface of a congealed lava river – created by the destructive natural forces. But also the common sight of a cracked layer of paint or peeling plaster shows the passage of time which transforms the original shapes, giving them a completely new look.
The work refers to the mirror which, as the fairy tale tells, broke into pieces distortioning the world and making it hideous and absurd.

Nothing to Rearrange by Laura Brothers.

555 KUBIK was the title of a facade video projection at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg (Germany), taking place last May. The idea behind it was: “How it would be, if a house was dreaming”. Daniel Rossa was responsible for the art direction and decided to use some visualisations of the inside of the building together with other animations. The facade isn’t that exciting itself, but the projection takes it to a new level.
Maybe you remember the facade projection “Augmented Space” by Pablo Valbuena, which he did in The Hague (The Netherlands) last year. It’s very similar, but the animation is much more reduced. And I think the building in The Hague is actually more interesting. You can see some videos here.
But you should watch the 555 KUBIK video first.
