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.

Bike Boo Boos created this nifty dragon sculpture from spare bicycle parts. SRAM-7 speed grip-shifts are responsible for controlling the wings and the head while brake levers control the mouth and the tail. You gotta screw up some bike parts to get this working, but in the end it’s pretty neat. I’d put this on top of a scrap bike if I could.

Martin Waugh’s liquid sculpture photos are amazing. He sets up colored liquids in a small pool and then drops liquid into it to create unique splashes that he then captures on camera. He creates different kinds of splashes by varying the size of the drop, the speed of the drop, and of course, the color. The resulting photos are beautiful colorful representations life frozen in time.

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.
