Moving sculptures

Check out these 3D printed sculptures by John Edmark, which appear to be moving when spun under a strobe light. I could watch these for hours. More here.

Classical Greek Hipsters

Designer Alexis Persani and photographer Leo Caillard photoshopped modern clothes onto photographs of classical sculptures for their project Street Stone. The resulting looks would be right at home on Bedford Ave. Turns out, hipsters and classic Greeks have more in common than one might think—namely, facial hair and indifferent expressions. The only problem is that no hipster would ever be this muscular...and maybe for a bit more authenticity, those photographs should have been taken using Instagram.

BIG ❤s for V-Day

I love the concept behind BIG Design's Valentine's heart sculpture. From the description:

For four years, Times Square has hosted an annual heart sculpture to celebrate Valentine’s Day, selecting a special architect to design a romantic public art installation in Times Square for all to enjoy.

This year’s 2012 Times Square Valentine heart sculpture is “BIG ❤ NYC” by BIG Design, which utilizes the flow of people, air and movement to bring its heart to life. More people = more love. A BIG red heart pulses with glowing light in a grove of glass rods. Bigger crowds make the heart burn brighter.

A single person can activate the beating heart, but joining hands with others will make the heart beat even faster to create a brightly burning heart.

The 10-foot tall glowing sculpture consists of 400 transparent, LED lit, acrylic tubes that form a cube around a suspended red heart. The transparent tubes refract the lights of Times Square, creating a cluster of condensed city lights around the heart.

Sky box

Daniel Mihalyo and Annie Han created these installations in Washington state along the border of Canada. As "billboardless billboards," they frame the sky, making art out of nature. Read more about the project here.

Clothespin sculpture

Love this installation in Belgium!

Inflatable sculptures

Joshua Allen Harris makes awesome street sculptures that look like trash lying on subway grates...until a subway passes. Check out the video below to see them come to life.

Nike Write the Future press kits

Wieden + Kennedy commissioned artist Diem Chau for Nike's "Write the Future" campaign press kit. How awesome and detailed are these crayon carvings of soccer players?

Stephane Halleux

These sculptures by Stephane Halleux are incredibly awesome. Made of leather and found objects, they are oddly whimsical and unlike anything I've seen before.
