Of course, Microsoft would be churning out more sculptures each day than new copies of Windows 7, but who wouldn’t want a physical trophy of their proudest-ever achievement? And if you’ve never seen this Solitaire waterfall before — shame on you.
This is one of the weirdest public art projects I’ve ever seen: a sculpture that moves, but it’s actually static to the naked eye. Only if you record it on a time-lapse video you would be able to appreciate its motion.
The poor little sap. He got miniaturized and the first thing he went and did with his new ability was interact with a deadly virus. Wait, what? This is just ADA and it’s an interactive charcoal drawing art piece? Hrm.
You’d never guess it, but this carnival-esque sculpture is also a musical score. And this score is also Hurricane Noel, the deadliest storm of the 2007 season, passing over Maine. Here, art colliding with science is beautiful.
Nick Sayers is a geometric artist who uses everyday objects to create unusual models. His latest creation is the Hyperbolic Coffee Cactus, a sculpture whose design is both awe-inspiring and humbling.
This wooden 1:16 scale model of a Caterpillar 5230B front shovel took Rob Fisher’s Woodchuck & Co art studio 3000 man hours to complete. It has 4000 individual parts that come together to make a semi-functioning excavator.
Remember the haunted-hayride depths of Daoist Hell? Well, that was a cakewalk compared to Singapore’s Haw Par Villa. At this unique bemusement park, you can tour the annals of Chinese mythology, such as the 10 Courts of Chinese Hell.
Polish sculptor Marek Tomasik spent three years collecting junk PCs. And with those, he covered an entire 4.8m x 4.2m x 4.5m room from top to bottom with the guts of those PCs (it’s what any sane person would do, right?). Even better, it’s viewable as an interactive 3D map.
Is there a more mesmerising sight than a sculpture comprised of 24 wooden gears rotating inside a frame that breaks apart and then reassembles itself? Aside from Hypnotoad? I think not.
