Shylights: Beautiful Unfolding Kinetic Lights That Bloom like Flowers. Several types of flowers are known to open and close for reasons of defense or energy conservation.
This evolutionary mechanism, called nyctinasty, inspired Studio DRIFT to design the Shylight, a kinetic light fixture that opens dramatically during a 30 foot (9 meter) fall. The motion mimics the same action of a blooming flower or the billowing of a parachute. A collection of Shylights were just permanently installed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and you can see them in action in the video above. (via Prosthetic Knowledge) New Corsa Stars in New Work by British Artist. Working with Alex to produce the sculpture was a team of structural engineers, steel benders, scenic artists, metal workers, carpenters, tarmac-layers and road-painters.
They created an object whose dimensions occupy the maximum square-area allowed on UK roads, so it could be installed overnight. “Simple in concept yet structurally, technically and logistically complex, this project looks to deliver an experience that can be appreciated by different people for different reasons. While I am most excited by the hidden engineering and complex manipulation of concealed steel, others will simply enjoy the accessible theatricality of the illusion at play,” said Alex Chinneck. Vauxhall Motors has worked with documentary director Chris Tubbs to create a behind-the-scenes film, offering insights into how the project developed, and a time-lapse of the piece’s installation. Lucy McRae. Index-en. Meditation. Balance. Art. In Residence: Xavier Corbero. Considered by many to be the most significant Catalan artist since Gaudi, the sculptor Xavier Corbero has built a home that befits his reputation: an expansive estate in the Barcelona suburb of Esplugues de Llobregat, which reveals the work of a mind that is as much artistic as architectural.
“Corbero was old friends with Salvador Dali and the surreal undoubtedly plays a lingering part in this casa sublim” Some 40 years in the making, Corbero’s residence has been a tireless exploration: nine pre-existing and dilapidated industrial structures have been brought back to life, forming a labyrinth composed of studios, living areas, artist residences, gallery spaces, and a subterranean workshop. Throughout the house, Corbero’s own monumental works, often cast in marble and basalt, loom large, as they do in prominent collections around the world, including those of the Met in New York and the Victoria & Albert museum in London.

Incredible New Tree Sculptures at the Palace of Versailles. The Palace of Versailles, a royal château known for its overabundance of luxury, is now accented with a scattered set of sculptures by Italian artist Giuseppe Penone that celebrate the beauty of nature. Penone's large-scale sculptural installations, which are all composed of natural materials (primarily wood and stone), are set up like markers in the Park of the vast estate while lending their own intriguing take on the shapes and interactions within nature.
Like his past work, Penone's latest additions, some of which are created specifically for Versailles, present a new and uncommon silhouette of trees. The sculptor takes something that we're all familiar with and is associated with "nature" and transforms it enough to both retain its natural element and display something that has been altered by man. The artist says, “What interests me is when the work of man starts to become nature.” Music, Sonic Inventions & Installations. Arlo Mountford. FRANK PLANT / / / NEWS.
