Watch Your Head

Clever installation by Japanese architects Ryuji Nakamura & Associates.

"...the design utilizes a floating steel framework placed at the viewer's eye level to create the illusion of individual rooms without the presence of full partition walls."

Orgasmic, i say!

Frenchman Xavier Antin's 'Just In Time, or A Short History of Production' is a conceptual and executional beauty.

"A book printed through a printing chain made of four desktop printers using four different colors and technologies dated from 1880 to 1976. A production process that brings together small scale and large scale production, two sides of the same history."

• MAGENTA (Stencil duplicator, 1880)
• CYAN (Spirit duplicator, 1923)
• BLACK (Laser printer, 1969)
• YELLOW (Inkjet printer, 1976)

Who's Thirsty?

Frenchman Bertrand Fevre's aptly named, 'Big Porcelain Sculpture'.

I dont know what's more impressive: the concept, design or the presentation. Win/Win on all fronts.
