Design Drift’s Fragile Future uses real dandelions in these spectacular light fixtures to tell the story of the amalgamation of nature and technology that will happen in the future in a pact for both to survive.
This is amazing.

Light!
Somebody sent me a Tumblr-message and made me aware of The New Yorker’s “2012 Eustace Tilley contest” (for which you have to re-draw the New Yorker dandy illustration).
I was going to do a Lady Gaga one, but alas, the contest ended two days ago.
Spatial Constructions was a series of three projects executed by Russian Constructivist artist Aleksandr Rodchenko between 1918 and 1921. For these projects Rodchenko would give himself certain restrictions, such as using a single geometric shape, cut in concentric bands of regular width. When flat, each sculpture would form this unitary shape, but when fanned out it would form a three dimensional object like the ones pictured above. Unfortunately, most of these creations have been lost to time and only photographs and sketches remain.
Geometry of Light by Alyson Shotz imagines “What would it look like to see light stopped in time”.
About the artist:
Interested in physics, Alyson Shotz uses industrial material, mirrors, stainless steel, to visualize invisible forces like gravity, space and light – the basic elements of our physical world. Materials that proved no less important when it comes to Art. “Questions about what the universe is made of (what is space, what is matter) seem primary to what sculpture, or art, should be about”, says Shotz.
