I really want to call BS on this but I’m not sure.  What do you guys think?  Either way it’s pretty sweet.

Update:  Our friend Chris passed us a link and as we thought… it’s fake.  Nice work though.

Below is from Chris:

Its fake. That piece of art was made by an artist whose name escapes me, but he works exclusively with nails (not using a nail gun) and with toothpicks. Here’s another example of one of his pieces:http://www.thelstalk.com/amazing-beautiful-picture-made-out-of-nails-pics/

The chandelier MADE of light bulbs

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

Obviously there are light bulbs in chandeliers, but what about a chandelier MADE of light bulbs?  I think this this is stunning!  This masterpiece called “What Watt?” is the work of Tim Fishlock

What Watt? is a memorial to the incandescent lightbulb.  It’s a spherical chandelier made up of 1243 suspended bulbs of various shape and size, illuminated by a single low-energy light source.  By 2011, all forms of incandescent light bulb will have been phased out in favour of greener alternatives.  What Watt? marks the passing of a design that has remained relatively unchanged since its invention 130 years ago. An edition of ten.  POA.
There’s another really cool shot after the break… you should look at it cause I said so! Read More

Night Lights on an Electric Canvas

I’ve seen something like this before and always wondered out they do it.  I still wonder… I even watched it twice.  Kudos!

Night Lights project in Auckland NZ by YesYesNo.

In this installation YesYesNo teamed up with The Church, Inside Out Productions and Electric Canvas to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground. Our job was to create an installation that would go beyond merely projection on buildings and allow viewers to become performers, by taking their body movements and amplifying them 5 stories tall.

We used 3 different types of interaction – body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. There were 6 scenes, cycled every hour for the public.
