By no means new, Jim Sanborn's projection series taken in the 1990's has provided inspiration for many an artist looking to explore the art of projection mapping. His large scale photographs impose precise geometric forms on geological landscapes, resulting in a collection of eight slightly surreal, completely magnificent photographs of natural and mathematical art. Taken in an age when computer-generated imagery was only just in its infancy, Sanborn's photographs have a huge amount of grunt behind them, using large scale light projections and long exposures, requiring a generator to power the projector. On one night, the projections were so strong that a truck traffic jam occurred on Interstate 80 in Wyoming, as truck drivers were transfixed with the notion that some sort of other-world interference was unfolding before their eyes.

This striking installation is the work of artist Yasuaki Oishi, who has used plastic sheets and black hot glue to create this imposing sculptural piece. He accomplished this by first creating a mould from cardboard boxes, draping plastic sheeting over them before dripping black glue over the top. After this, he removed the boxes to leave the skeleton frame in place. Viewers are encouraged to interact with the installation by walking underneath it, giving them the ability to admire it from all angles.

Currently on show at Houston's Rice Gallery.

Growing up in Mexico City, mixed media artist Gabriel Dawe was surrounded by colour and vibrancy yet he was forbidden to get anywhere near the colourful world of textiles and embroidery, an area strongly considered to be a women's only domain. Now based out of Texas, Dawe has taken to constructing stunningly intricate, mind-bending pieces of art comprised solely of thread. These installations are beautiful, using sewing thread to create installations that feel like shafts of light caught in rainbows. In his recent exhibition 'The Density of Light' at Lot 10 Galerie in Brussels, Dawe has created two new site specific pieces, both of which occupy entire rooms which are meant to explore the nature of light. 

These photographs almost feel reminiscent of a beautiful underwater story in the depths of the sea, but they are, however, the creation of photographer Luka Klikovac - who uses bold ink colours underwater in contrast with a dark background. The result is incredibly surreal, with the result of the images feeling alive.

Designers Sergei Tschoban and Sergey Kuznetsov designed a sculpture titled The Architect's Eye as part of the Interni Legacy event that was held during Milan Design Week. Constructed from a stainless steel sphere, it features a LED system to create an image of a huge human eyeball that rotates to look at both visitors and the ground. Much like the human eye, the pupil changes size to reflect the changing light throughout the day.

Taking a cue from the devastating effects of nuclear warfare, New Delhi based artist Subodh Gupta's installation 'Line of Control' mirrors the appearance of a mushroom cloud, much like the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Made from ordinary kitchen utensils, the sculptural installation is imposing and dramatic. The artist explains, that whilst his predominant influence for this project was from Japanese disasters, he couldn't help but draw a parallel to the Indian-Pakastani border, "in 1999 I made the first drawing of a mushroom cloud when India and Pakistan were on the brink of a nuclear war. They were having conversations like how many people were going to die if India used its nuclear power. It chilled my heart."

It's hard enough to create a sense of realism in a portrait, let alone when the portrait is constructed from wire and mesh. However, it seems for Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park, creating these meticulous portraits poses little difficulty. By using a projected image, Mo Park is able to create these portraits that rely just as much on space perception as on artistic accuracy. Sculpting each layer by hand, the wire mesh is cut into layers, with each layer separated only by a few finger widths.

A genius installation using merino wool interwoven into a grid of fishing wire to create the outlines and shapes of various pieces of furniture.  The installation gives an alternative perception of space. The fishing wire is attached from wall to wall and ceiling to floor to create the grid in which the “sketching wool” is woven. The overall look is almost one of an illustration done in charcoal. 

On display at Ventura Lambrate, Milan.

CAI Light exhibited its new collection of lighting and reflective objects entitled ‘Brilliant!’ at the Temporary Museum for New Design 2012 at Superstudio. As well as designing and producing lighting fixtures, CAI lighting also offers consultation to a variety of architectural, landscape and collaborative projects including current pieces that are on display at the Hotel la Maison Champs-Elysees and Paris by Maison Martin Margiela. Tis rather spectacular installation showcased a range of impressive explorations of light possibilities by the CAI design practice, which sees the object of light as the key instrument in producing atmosphere and mood. Of notable mention was the Crystal collection, with a one-meter diameter; its 400 cut faces act as reflectors that focus on amplifying the light.
