‘firemen walk with us’ by rietveld landscape installed with the dark eiffel building in maastricht, the netherlands. It addresses fire safety in relationship to the temporary use of vacant buildings as being a major problem that needs to be resolved.
Im very intrigued about this piece .. why…. I like the relationship between the virtual and the physical. It takes something real .. digitises it .. then makes it tangible again.
“Fried Chicken Street Lighting” by spanish designer Jorge Mañes. It is a photograph series from different storefronts which have been projected at night onto fachades of the darker and less safe streets of the city. Simple Idea .. very effective. The idea can be applied to a lot things, but all depends on the subject matter. Choose a good contrast of image and location and bingo. Artwork

The London and Mumbai-based firm Serie Architects designed The Monsoon Club at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The club is a multi-purpose performance space at the center but that’s not the exciting part. Look up and you’ll see an amazing installation of three-dimensional carpet that has been suspended over the main space! It was constructed out of four colored threads (white and three shades of blue) and influenced by ‘dhurries,’ a type of flat woven rug in India. This magnificent piece took over two months, 20 individuals, five staff members and 15 students to complete.
