I was happy to listen Kyle McDonald live at FITC14 this year speaking about instant Face Substition but this example we post now will blow your mind hence this is a way different technology. Nobumichi Asai uses projection mapping on an actor face in real-time. Asai used Omote, a combination of real-time face tracking and projection mapping to transform a model's face into mesmerising patterns.

The final works of a sleeping fawn or mouse are scarcely larger than the size of a thimble, yet can take long periods of time to complete as she mixes myriad thread colours to achieve perfection for each piece. Giordano also creates various 3D sculptures which you can see more of over on her Tumblr, and says that she is currently available for projects and commissions. via Colossal
Initially, these images appear to be crisp, elegant photographs. However, in reality, each hyperrealistic image is an oil painting created by artist Anna Halldin Maule. With unbelievable attention to detail, the Hawaii-based artist produces amazingly detailed, beautifully feminine portraits. The artist's process is a collaboration with photographer husband Tom Maule. The couple develops a photo shoot to serve as the inspiration for the idea that Maule has in mind for her next painting. Her recent work is an exploration of femininity and beauty juxtaposed with society's obsession with material goods.

Architect Peter Bahouth built a series of houses in the trees connected by wooden bridges in Atlanta. Peter is an environmentalist whose love of nature and memories of boyhood treehouses inspired him to create a grown-up fort in his Atlanta backyard. The three rooms of this treehouse have been christened “Mind,” “Body” and “Spirit” by the owner. A suspension bridge connects the living room, or “Mind” portion of this Atlanta treehouse, to the “Body” or bedroom portion, that includes a platform bed that slides out for a better view of the tree canopy.
