I Just Can't Get Enough of These Robolamps
Croatian artist Robert Matysiak has a really awesome thing going with his Robolamps. It's just a bunch of plumbing supplies and green light bulbs, but I want to collect them all. More » -

The Pebro Bench Would Have Been Better as a Seesaw
Sure, the Pebro Bench raises up to become a "sculpture" when no one is sitting on it, but I think the designers could have earned more fun points if they had gone full teeter-totter. More » -

The Living Light Sculpture
The Living Light Sculpture looks like a giant metal flower, or a man made approximation of a jungle canopy with artificial sunlight coming down through its branches. It's actually a digital map sculpture reporting air quality in Seoul, Korea. More » -

If the Kindle Had its Way, This Stream of Books Would Be an SD Card
Biografias was created by artist Alicia Martin using 5,000 books. Eventually, we'll probably be seeing physical books used more for art like this than for reading. Sigh. [Urban Prankster] -

Cars Racing On a 105-Foot High Vertical Road Make Me Wish for Antigravity Engines
We have seen Gerry Judah's amazing work before, which mix awesome engineering and technology to get almost-impossible pieces, like this 105-foot high, 44 tonne sculpture showing two Audi cars shooting into the sky. Up close it's mighty impressive: More » -

Nemo Gould's Bogeyman and Praying Mantis Could Easily Be Dr. Who Villains
I love Daleks and Cybermen because they're illogically terrifying: The clumsier the tech, the scarier they get. Nemo Gould's found-material sculptures unlock the same secret brain code, being cartoony and scary at the same time. More » -

Polished "Universe" Ring Models Our Insignificance
The #5 Universe Ring is a beautiful piece based on a theory that our universe is actually shaped like a donut. See that tiny little speck on its side? That imperfection is us. More » -

Not Sure If Migraine Machine Gives Headaches or Takes Them Away
We do know that the metal-and-wood sculpture by Greg Brotherton is convincing, right down to its tiny anguished protagonist. Feel better, little dude, so you can go back to chilling with Brotherton's headlight-breasted fembots. [io9] More » -

Future Faucet Looks Like It Should Be In a Museum
Award winning architect Zaha Hadid has applied her love of curvy, metallic design into this cutting edge faucet. Seriously, it could easily be part of a sculptural exhibit at some fancy modern art museum. More » -

Metal 'Portraits' Make an Optical Illusion Out of Your Face

Cityscope Illuminated Sculpture is Like Glowing Crashed Meteor In Cologne
Cityscope is a new sculpture by Marco Hemmerling, designed to deal "with the fragmented perception of urban spaces" or something: To me, it's better to imagine it as a meteor that just managed to soft-land in a city square. Or, better still than artistic mumbojumbo: perhaps as a particularly odd-looking alien spacecraft. This works even better when you learn its partially-mirrored surfaces disappear at night as it is dynamically multicolor-illuminated from inside. That said, there was a lot of design thought put into this to make it "fit" its space, and the whole thing was CAD-CAM'd into existence. Pretty. [Dezeen] -

Habitat Machines: Tomorrow's Architecture From Yesterday's Appliances
At first you see buildings of tomorrow, set on bleak plots of land against bleak skies. But then you notice the coffee pots. And the bathroom scales. And the meat grinders, the electric razors, the cake tins, the cheese graters and, well, you tell me. This is not a Photoshop contest, these are actual sculptures wittily erected by artist David Trautrimas for an exhibit entitled Habitat Machines opening next week at Toronto's Le Gallery. There's another haunting image below, and a few more over at Dezeen. Now I gotta go hack open my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer, to see if I can't just show the world Wilsonberg 2028. [Dezeen] More » -

"Staring" Sculpture Depicts Laser Cats In Duel to Death by Exploding Head
I'm no curator, but these two air-dry clay cat sculptures, merged by mere fluorescent tubing and wired up to glow like the heavens, make me want to start a museum entirely filled with sci-fi animals locked in deadly combat. More »
