“Lakes and Reservoirs” is a series of photographs made by Matthew Brandt. First he made the photos of the lakes and reservoirs, then he made C-prints of them and lastly he soaked those in the water of the respective lakes and reservoirs. The results look great.
David Lyle makes oil-paintings inspired by snapshots from the 1950s, 60s and 70s mixed with references to pop culture. I like them.

Osso is a new series of chairs designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for the Italian brand Mattiazzi. The chairs are made of oak, maple or ash, but it’s their production process that I find interesting. The pieces are milled by a digitally controlled CNC machine. This is probably one of the few ways to produce this design on a larger scale.

I’m pretty sure that I’ll never buy a glass table but the black version of Nendo‘s transparent table is the closest what I would consider. They’ve cast wood with a strong grain in clear acrylic and assembled the pieces to create a table. The level of detail is quite impressive, the edges are beveled and the ends even have the matching grain.

Form Art is a project made by Alexei Shulgin in 1997. In 1997! He used formal elements of the HTML language, without adding anything to them, to create compositions, animations, images, … The website is packed with little pieces, but make sure to check out the animations and the game.
I can’t really say why, but I’ve just watched “Art Tape: Live with / Think about” by Michael Bell-Smith three times.

Thru Religion is a 3D printed object created by Drzach & Suchy. The object has multiple shadow-casting elements, semi-randomly arranged in three dimensions. When you rotate the object to the right position in front of a light source, you can see 3 different religious symbols. You should also check out these 2 videos of their Shadow Casting Panels.
