The Amazing Work of Chris Burden

 

This is quite incredible. Chris Burden is an artist specialising in kinetic sculpture and "Metropolis II" is his latest piece consisting of 1200 Hot Wheels cars and some very impressive engineering. Love it!

Sir Norman Foster's Dymaxion


Have you ever seen anything like this before? Sir Norman Foster has just completed the rebuild of Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion car, a revolutionary vehicle from 1933. Foster has apparently been fascinated with the Dymaxion since he worked for Fuller during the seventies. More information on the project can be found here.

Ron van der Ende

Ron van der Ende is a sculptor living in Rotterdam. He specializes in wall mounted bas-reliefs constructed from found wood. The pieces can end up looking almost photo-realistic or like they have been photo-shopped onto their surroundings due to their cleaver use of perspective. It's hard to believe that they are all made from scraps. Amazing. Link

It reminds me a little of the scrap wood furniture of another Dutchman, Piet Hein Eek. Link
