Photographer Robert Burley has created an amazing 66′x18′ photo piece that is currently on display on the facade of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal, Canada. [via]
The image is transferred onto the facade by a new technology developed by 3M that makes the picture an actual part of the wall. Once adhesive sections of the photo are applied to the wall, the layers go through a heating process that end up fusing the image to the wall. Pretty awesome.
Check out the video below.

This little installation by Jack Williams uses 350 Royal Pine air fresheners to create a floating forest.
This is one of my fears I didn’t even know I had. I would hate to be in a room filled with Royal Pine air fresheners because while they look nice, they certainly do not smell nice.

To celebrate Audi’s 100th anniversary, Gerry Judah created this 32-meter high sculpture (nearly 105 feet) on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in West Sussex, England. The sculpture features two Audi vehicles — a recently launched R8 V10 sportscar and a 1937 Auto Union Streamliner — racing into the sky on a silver polished track.
Check out Dezeen to see some more spectacular photos of this sculpture.

I’m preparing to reinstall a Mac soon for the very first time and here are some questions I have:
If you can answer any of these questions, that’d be awesome. THANKS!

I can’t get over how wonderful this photo above is of an abandoned Prada store in Marfa, TX. It’s taken from the roadtrip that some Supertouch members took with Lance Armstrong through Texas. The roadtrip passed through a town in Texas called Marfa that seems to be an artist’s hidden paradise, with great galleries and public arts all over the place.
I was very curious as to why a big name like Prada would expand to a small town like Marfa, and my suspicions about it being an art installation were confirmed in this New York Times article from 2005. Apparently, the “abandoned” Prada store is a permanent art installation by Berlin artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. If you want to see more photos of this place, head on over to Flickr where Prada Marfa photos are plenty.
The photos are wonderful and they certainly make me want to visit (they say also that the movie No Country For Old Men was shot there, which makes me want to visit the place even more).

The genius artists behind Troika — Conny Freyer, Eva Rucki and Sebastien Noel — have created this totally awesome art installation for the British Airways Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.
Made of many “flip-dots” in a cloud-like shape, the installation, aptly named Cloud, constantly changes from one animation to another.
As the flip-dots flick we are instantly reminded of rippling water, of the mesmerizing movements of snakes and schools of fishes. We chose for that particular reason to create one side of the dots as silver mirror, to accentuate this feeling.
The pictures are very nice, but you really don’t get the full experience of Cloud without seeing it in person or watching it do its thing on video.
I’d love to see more airports incorporate these types of art installations. Nothing beats standing in one place for a long time and just staring at something flow.
