united states based design office takebayashi scroggin (d.o.t.s.) has created ’zip tie massimal’ 
a life size installation made from standard zip ties. designated as a hollow and mesh-like form, 
the object is produced at a 1:1 scale to serve as an experimental prototype to engage the public realm. 
systematically generated from a singular material, the form is an animal abstraction intended to 
mimic a docile petting zoo when joined by other creatures.

the supporting framework and skin is constructed with 20,000 zip ties producing an ephemeral glowing 
volume when illuminated. discretely stabilized with a cable suspension system anchored to the ceiling, 
the creation attracts visitors and serves as a centerpiece in the atmosphere.

Glitch: Website.

If we were to have a discussion on great blog design, this website would have to be a primary talking point.  It’s making great use of jQuery and CSS - with minimal Flash - to deliver a polished look that fully compliments the style and animations of the game.  This screen shot cannot do it justice. Visit Glitch.com.

aside from the website, that game is really well illustrated. wow.

Made Of Pins And Buttons.

Ran Hwang makes use of pins, buttons, crystals, and thread to create elaborate wall art that is beautiful.  The contrast in appearance between a macro and micro perspective is amazing. Thanks 1DPD!

More Walking, Less Driving by DDB China Group:

DDB China Group took over a busy pedestrian crossing and placed a large canvas featuring a leafless tree on the road. On either side of the crossing were sponge cushions soaked in green environmentally-friendly washable and quick dry paint. As pedestrians walked towards the crossing they stepped on the sponges and the soles of their feet made footprints on the tree. Each green footprint added to the canvas like leaves growing on a bare tree. By walking they could create a greener environment. Via.

First off, acehotel has a Tumblr blog!

Secondly, I am wondering what you think of the new “would-be-Chelsea Hotel” model of artists doing up rooms with murals?

Kate Neckel just finished drawing on the wall in room 1208 at Ace Hotel New York. Some friends stopped by while she was working. Here’s her story:

I looked and looked and looked around the hotel. I picked up some black acrylic paint markers and I drew the stories of the owls, birds, people and objects in the Ace.

While creating this world on the wall, Ace guests and friends and staff dropped in to tell me about their fave Ace things (Robinson from The Breslin points to a burger/fries on the wall), Michelle Buswell (Chris Tucci’s sweetheart) points to a drawing of Liberty Hall. It was perfect since the people of the Ace really make everything come alive.

Covers by John Paul Thurlow

“Covers” is a project by John Paul Thurlow. Fascinated by the perfection of glamour magazines covers he decided to redraw his favourite ones. 

John Paul explains his project this way: “This is an attempt to remake cover art for every great magazine I own (+ a few record covers soon). Covers is an hommage to the creative men and women who produce such disposable perfection.”

Art By James Voller.

It’s funny to me, over the weekend, I discovered another artist who paints buildings on stones, though I can’t fully remember if it was James Voller or not since it was set in an entirely different local with a slightly different style.  However, I simply enjoy the aspect of taking raw cut materials and turning them into homes.  It completely transforms the surrounding landscape. Thanks Wooster!
