I got in to the Polaroid culture when I was ten with a proud colour one "Assembled in the USSR". This was a high times, today Swissmiss made a huge flashback and now I really want to install Polaboy frame featuring some of the photos from my past. Smart and simple idea and citing Swissmiss: "Polaboys are enlarged Polaroids to a scale of 10:1 (to 88x107cm) and backlit. They are 20 mm thick and use energy-saving LED area lights. The frame is wooden and they are made in Germany. Also good to know: The photographs can be changed at any time and you can even send your custom image."
"FOLDS is a beautiful installation by David Mesguich and Valentin Van der Meulen that first appeared in 2009 at Maison des Arts de Malakoff, and again in 2010 at Art Paris 2010. The piece is made from numerous polypropylene shapes and creates a somewhat haunting anatomical amalgam of face and skull." via This Is Colossal

"The colourful pictures in this gallery are close-up shots of alcoholic drinks, taken by Florida State University's chemistry department. Drinks such as wine and vodka were placed under a microscope to reveal images of the crystallised sugar. Magnified up to 1,000 times under a high tech laboratory lens, each crystal is different - like a snowflake." via DT also check Bevshots for full collections of this.

"Banksy just placed a new sculpture, Cardinal Sin, at Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England. The piece, made in response to the child abuse scandals that the church seems to be known for these days, features a face taken off and replaced by blank bathroom tiles. Banksy noted in a statement, ":I'm never sure who deserves to be put on a pedestal or crushed under one." The sculpture sits next to religious works dated from the 17th Century." says Juxtapoze
