causa efecto

"With this installation she dubs Causa-Efecto (Cause and Effect), Spanish artist Ana Soler makes us feel like we're living in The Matrix. Featuring 2,000 tennis balls frozen in mid-air, the installation gives off the illusion that the balls are bouncing of the walls, floors and ceiling of the Mustang Art Gallery in Alicante, Spain. One has to wonder how much time and thought went into placing these balls in their exact positions!"

tracks and shadows

"Renowned Brazilian artist Regina Silveira creates incredible illusions that play with our senses and messes with our minds. She invites the viewer see huge shadows or watch as toy cars make their messy track marks on a gallery's white walls. In Lodz, Polland, she created an installation called "Depth" where she incorporated the gallery's architecture, particularly its windows, to show a never-ending abyss one could actually walk on."

nose art

"In Spring 2010, the idea of The Boneyard Project was first devised by Eric Firestone and organized by curator Carlo McCormick. What the project entailed was the revival of "nose art" which was popularized during the World War II era. It involves reinterpreting the body of an aircraft - a sort of airplane graffiti. Firestone's concept has since evolved into a larger goal in which various international contemporary artists are set to redesign the entirety of old, out-of-use military planes."

strokes

"Martina Nehrling, a Chicago based artist, is inspired by the chaotic nature of life and the many colors that come from it. Her work is created by an accumulation of multiple single-colored brushstrokes, making each composition seemingly elementary and incredibly complex at the same time."

blowing in the wind

"Bourrasque, by London-based designer Paul Cocksedge, is meant to represent a large collection of papers blowing away in the wind. Made for France's City of Lyon's annual Festival of Lights, each sheet of "paper" is made from a special conductive material that lights up when a current is passed through it. All are the exact size of a standard piece of printer paper and were formed by hand to obtain their dynamic shapes. Over 200 sheets make up this installation as it stretches over 80ft in length."

claustrophobia

"Dutch artist Marjan Teeuwen eviscerates the walls of abandoned buildings, conjoining rooms with massive holes, and uses leftover fragments to create densely textured walls and surfaces. In the last photo, a project entited Destroyed House, Teeuwen removed the walls from a post-war apartment block in Amsterdam and sawed the building’s doors into hundreds of fragments, using them in turn to construct layered partitions. Walls made from doors. In other works she uses countless objects crammed into small rooms, creating claustrophobic spaces that appear on the verge of collapse, putting any contemporary hoarder to shame."
