Reading Between the Lines - Church by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh

Belgian architect group, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh, built a church in Belgium that looks completely different from any side of view

From others, the structure reveals itself to be something else entirely - a building that's almost entirely see through. The project, named "Reading Between the Lines," is a composition of 100 layers of stacked steel, that are equidistantly staggered in a way that illusively change in appearance based on where the viewer is standing.

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."

City Layouts by Luis Dilger

"Topography, architecture and traffic routes give every city a unique structure. These conditions create the typical and individual inner structure of a city.I didn't only want to show these structures in the conventional way from above but also including the exact three-dimensionality of topography and buildings - a real world visualisation. Google's OpenStreetMap data enabled me to visualize the satellite-based information using DEM Earth in Cinema 4D. The results are some extraordinary views of large capitals and small towns."

Walking New York by JR

Earlier this month, workers with the French street artist JR (previously) covered a plaza in Manhattan's Flatiron district with a giant, wheat-pasted photograph of a guy walking. It was 20-year-old immigrant and Brooklynite Elmar Aliyev in mid-stride. The image was only up for a day, and almost no one noticed. But it would go on to create one of the most inventive New York Times magazine covers of recent memory.

The cover is a commentary on the invisibility of immigrants, a theme JR has previously explored. "For this project, we decided we’d photograph recent immigrants and paste their images on the city’s streets, where they and other immigrants are often invisible," the NYTimes writes. The French artist photographed several different immigrants before landing on Aliyev, who came to New York from Azerbaijan last August after winning the green card lottery.

Virtual Topographies Of Jhovany Quiroz

We are getting close to the open contest of Designcollector Digital Decade + OFFF15 (will announce soon), that will explore Glitch in its beauty this May. Meanwhile dig the exploding, virtual topographies of Jhovany Quiroz. Starting with a single image, he deconstructs 3D terrain using commonplace imaging apps. From the iPhone Camera and Photo Editor, to Mextures (for layers, light leaks, and emulsion effects) and Glitché (for three-dimensional imaging), his digital arsenal yields artworks that resemble what we imagine it would look like if a stick of dynamite was sucked into a black hole.
