The Sumter Piece by Jonathan Brilliant

You know those useless wooden coffee stirrers that barely stir coffee but leave splinters in your tongue when you lick them? Well Jonathan Brilliant has found a much better use for them and creates extravagant installations by weaving them together. This particular piece uses 60,000 wooden stirrers and took Jonathon 14 days to weave together, and it’s important to note that no adhesive of any kind was used in the making of this.

60,000 used wooden coffee stirrers create an amazing piece of lighting (really).

Kurt Hentschläger (Austria/USA) - CLUSTER (2009-2012)

Generative Audiovisual Live Show. In the weightless choreography of CLUSTER, human figures appear mostly as anonymous particles, a pulsing, amorphous mass, a cloud of blurry matter from body parts and light. By its never fully predictable generative nature, CLUSTER describes a meta-organism with decidedly anti-individualistic character. © Kurt Hentschläger

Kurt Hentschläger - FEED (2005-06)

Performance for Unreal Characters, Fog, Stroboscopes & Pulse Lights, a creation for the Theater Biennial Venice. FEED is an immersive performance in two parts that stresses the limits of perception. The first half is staged in a classical frontal way with a single, larger than life, projection of figures moving in a synchronized choreography, floating and convulsing in a world without gravity. Their movements generate sounds, creating a symphonic drone. © Kurt Hentschläger

I had the pleasure of meeting Kurt years ago in his studio. He was kind enough to sit with me for and hour or so and explore my silly ideas. Kurt is brilliant - check out his work.

I think this piece of lighted art looks cool, not sure I buy it as an “object of contemplation” as the article suggests. 

I love lighting fixtures built of iron. Modenus is up with a great profile of Artesano Iron Works. 

Open every door.

A world of infinite choices.

My all time favorite car a 1965 Ford Mustang turned into a piece of sculpture by artist Hugh Hayden. On display in Socrates Sculpture Park. #art #mustang #lic

Caux Collective Redirects: United Visual Artists

The stunning installation you see here was created following an innovative pursuit of depicting time without using any traditional means of measurement. London-based Art and Design practice, United Visual Artists (UVA), sought to create a piece of art which could effectively show the passing of time, whilst also eradicating the need to use seconds, minutes or hours.
