Zimoun + Hannes Zweifel
200 prepared dc-motors, 2000 cardboard elements creates installation done by Zimoun in collaboration with Architect Hannes Zweifel 2011
"The sound sculptures and installations of Zimoun are graceful, mechanized works of playful poetry, their structural simplicity opens like an industrial bloom to reveal a complex and intricate series of relationships, an ongoing interplay between the «artificial» and the «organic». It‘s an artistic research of simple and elegant systems to generate and study complex behaviors in sound and motion. Zimoun creates sound pieces from basic components, often using multiples of the same prepared mechanical elements to examine the creation and degeneration of patterns." words by Tim Beck

Sculptures by Tamsin van Essen
"British ceramicist Tamsin van Essen is fascinated by what she describes as the “the fragile boundary between attraction and repulsion,” a place where tension is created by the visible and the obscured. For her Erosion series Essen created layered blocks of alternating black and white porcelain which she then sandblasted to mimic biological forms similar to a parasitic virus in the process of devouring a host.

Art History in Contemporary Life by artist Alexey Kondakov
"For his ongoing series “Art History in Contemporary Life,” Ukrainian artist Alexey Kondakov takes scenes and figures lifted from classical paintings and drops them into modern-day life. Bouguereau’s Song of the Angels appears to take place on an empty subway car while a pair of men from Holbein’s famous The Ambassadors are transported to the table of a seedy bar" via Colossal

Classical Paintings on Streets
Julien de Casabianca started Outings Project to fill the cultural gap between the museum and street. Using nothing but mobile phone people can take photos of abandoned and less-known pictures in museums and transfer them on street walls with the help of Outings team. It is legal until you break a law.
P.s. I bet Julien needs to visit Saint-Petersburg and check the street project done by Russian Museum with the same idea. It was vandalised several if not dozen times until people get used to it, and now you watch Russian Classic Paintings outside.
Double-exposure Drawings by Thomas Cian
I think the double-exposure techniques have done enough with photography and no more is a topic of much interest. But can't say the same about things done with hands, like this pencil drawings of Thomas Cian

Gravitant by Cinta Vidal Agulló
With this work, Catalonian artist Cinta Vidal Agulló (1982, Barcelona) wants to show that we live in one world, but we live in it in very different ways, playing with everyday objects and spaces, placed in impossible ways to express that many times, the inner dimension of each one of us does not match the mental structures of those around us.Check her exhibition at Miscelanea, Barcelna this week
"I do not remember the last time I left home without a notebook to draw what I see, notebooks where I try to reflect the complexity of human relationships from different perspectives. I never wanted to commit to a single style, even if that's the common thing to do: each new project, painting, illustration, client, idea... is thoroughly analysed and after that process, what should be told and how it should be told will arise."

Body Manipulations by Monica Piloni
While reviewing the sculptural works of Monica Piloni first thing to spark in my visual mind was the old digital works of Dmitry Daniloff made for Sony PSP. But let's not concentrate on the things I found similar. The sculptures of Monica is something to think about for the fragile nature of our bodies.
The artwork also carries certain morbidity, mixed with slight cliche from the erotic iconography, including many symbols and a miscellany of styles carried by our subconsciousness. These styles and symbols are what we ultimately give back to the environment either in a concrete existence or abstract essence.
