Amazing arrays
These images of television tube arrays by Stephan Tillmans as they are being turned of are mesmerising and beautiful.
LUMINANT POINT ARRAYS
‘The Luminant Point Arrays show tube televisions in the moment they are switched off. The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light.’
Foot tracking

Concrete monuments
These monuments built under Tito in the former Yugoslavia, now Serbia are called Spomeniks (monuments) and are dotted around rural areas. “The Belgian photographer, Jan Kempenaers, has traveled the many countries of the Balkans during the past decade and has recorded these monoliths with his camera. He has compiled several dozen of them into a book, titled simply Spomenik.” More about them in the article by John Bailey.

A sound subway map
The New York subway map becomes an interactive instrument: “At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.”

RGB filtered wallpaper
Carnovsky, the artist duo Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla, created this mesmerising installation with large scale illustrations as wallpaper for the RGB exhibition at Johanssen Gallery, Direktorenhaus, Berlin. When lit with different coloured lights image layers are revealed. I would love wallpaper like this for my home.
