The Daylight Entrance by Daniel Rybakken is all about the illusion of daylight. It’s an light installation in the entrance and staircase of an office building. Both don’t have any natural light, but these panels give you the positive sensation of sunlight. The back of the panels were hollowed by CNC-milling and then backlit with a lot of LED’s.
You might also want to have a look at his “Subconscious Effect of Daylight” sidetable.

Outdoor Sculpture by Erwin Wurm.
The Portrait Machine Project by Carlo Van de Roer are photos made with a Polaroid aura camera developed in the 1970s by an American scientist in an attempt to record what a psychic might see.
This project explores the idea that a portrait photograph can reveal an otherwise unseen and accurate insight into the subject’s character.
The subject is connected directly to the camera by hand-plates that measure biofeedback, which the camera depicts as an aura of color in the Polaroid and translates into a printed diagram and description explaining the camera’s interpretation of the subject. It also explains separately, what the the subject is expressing and how they are seen by others, such as the photographer, suggesting the camera bypasses the control of the photographer and subject in making the portrait. This printout, which includes information about the subjects emotions, potential, aspirations, future, etc. is presented to the viewer along with each photograph in a similar manner to a caption.

Credit Synthesis by Jonathan Vingiano is a sculpture which interprets magnetically stored data and translates it into a brief melody.
DEEPHORIZON is the latest project by UBERMORGEN.COM. I guess we’ve all heard about the current environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. UBERMORGEN.COM has quite a different view on the situation: “An oil painting on a 80.000 square miles ocean canvas with 32 million liters of oil – a unique piece of art.”
These Digital Oil Paintings are actually photos of the disaster but they’ve manipulated them. They’ve used a compressor and video editing-software to liquify, transform and destort the photos to achieve this oil painting-like effect. Brilliant!
He’re a few colored pencil drawings from Julia Randall her “Lick Line” series. Very, very impressive work.
