Sculptures from Bruno Catalano. They seem to float in the air! Looks beautiful in real life! I saw one in a gallery in Paris last year!
Sweet Play by Elsa Lambinet
Great chocolate design! You can do a lot of stuff with only a few modules!
Belgian photographer Frieke Janssens made this serie ‘Smoking Kids’. The opening of her exposition fell at the same date when in Belgium the law against smoking in restaurants and bars was introduced. She is a smoker herself and always was fascinated by the figures the smoke made. But she was shocked when she saw an internet clip of a chain-smoking toddler in Indonesia and decided to make this serie. The pictures are in a way nostalgic and sociable but shocking still.
“The Panopticon (which means all-seeing) is a model prison devised by British philosopher and legal reformer Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century. Its structure, a radical configuration with observation posts in the center and inmates’ cells and common areas around the periphery, was designed to ensure guards could always see inmates but never be seen by them. As a result, inmates had to presume guards might be watching them at any given moment, which meant, according to Bentham, that they would have to behave as if they were being watched all the time. In this way, the Panopticon, by its very structure, created the effect of total surveillance, while allowing for actual surveillance to be intermittent and even absent.”

I recently read another article about the Panopticon and reforming and engaging prisoners through environmental design, but I cannot recall for the life of me where I read it. Oh well this works…
I hate it when people just post pictures not knowing what it is. Just posting randomly!!! If you don’t know what it is putt the picture through google images and you will find it for sure! This is a lasercut tire of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye btw.

Some work of Erwin Wurm, Austrian artist famous for his ‘One minute Sculptures’ where he tries to make sculptures with people and objects. He tries to capture moments and it leads to unpredictable and funny results.
