Nicole Dextras: Ice Typography and Green Words
Environmental multimedia artist Nicole Dextras uses elements of nature to create works that are often also sited in nature or the urban landscape. She’s constructed life size clothing out of flowers and leaves, and fashioned cultural messages from grass and ice. We love the crazy big text creations from her two series Ice Typography and Green Words.
Campana Brothers at Maison& Objet
Maison & Objet’s designers of the year 2012 are Humberto and Fernando Campana, originally from Brazil, Hubert le Gall from France and Tokujin Yoshioka of Japan.
To celebrate, each designer was given the opportunity to create an installation for the show. It was the Campana Brothers’ installation that really caught my eye.
The Exchange by Ben Blanc
Pete Oyler sent me some info about a most interesting exhibition he recently saw. Called The Exchange by Ben Blanc, the installation consists of 200 handmade and sequentially numbered black-dyed objects made of Douglas Fir. Inside of one object is a 20.06-gram river washed Alaskan Gold nugget recovered from the Nome area in 2011.

Maissa Toulet’s Curiosity Cabinets
Paris-based artist Maissa Toulet’s Curiosity Cabinets are quirky little worlds encased in glass, where animal and people parts mingle with plant life and funny little objects.
Nobuhiro Nakanishi
Osaka, Japan-based Nobuhiro Nakanishi’s mesmerizing body of work entitled Layered Drawings is truly breathtaking. He photographs a scene or object repeatedly over time, then laser prints each shot and mounts them onto acrylic. Change is captured in each frame, and once layered, they become sculpture installations. The overall effect shows movement and the subtle passage of time.

Eurohigh design studio, in collaboration with KRADS, created the Open The Tower exhibit with the support of LEGO and Arup. Open The Tower features 676 LEGO models of skyscrapers in the scale of 1:1000, in a grid formation of 26 repeated structures in a linear fashion.

Corpus by Marcia Nolte
Netherlands-based concept designer Marcia Nolte has created the Corpus series of concepts based on the idea that humans could evolve and adapt to modern fashion and technology in a physical manner.
In her latest series, Corpus 2.1, she created four portraits whose physical appearance has been transformed to integrate technology. Above, a QR code is like a birthmark on the skin.
