We could make a poignant comment about privacy concerns, or our insecurity in the modern, digital age. But that wouldn’t be cool would it? This Surveillance Chandelier is cool though, luckily.

Ikea Furniture Art. A nice little viral that demonstrates if you have a talent other than putting ikea furniture together then they will send a guy out to help, for a price of course!

Pencil vs Camera. One mans vision on the world. Artist Ben Heine shows us the world through his eyes by combining a sketch and a photograph. These amusing and interesting sketches blend either with the photograph, or humorously compliment them. Like all great ideas, its simple and very nice.

Augmented Reality takes over MoMA in New York. This video shows a small section of the “We AR In MoMA” exhibition that we covered a few weeks ago - with a fantastic response. The gallery has been taken over by AR and users can see pieces of art that are invisible to the naked eye through their smartphones giving them a new virtual experience in the gallery.

A new way to reuse your plastic carrier bags - make an installation! That is what has been done here with each bag individually controller by two guys to make this cool installation. As a viewer comes close to it, the bags immediately draw back and then follow the viewers movements as they watch. When the people have moved, the art senses this and begins wobbling around until someone else comes close!

None of this is real. It’s all CGI and it looks incredible. The detail is more than the naked eye can see.

Yayoi Kusama
Who needs space travel? In Japanese conceptual artist Yayoi Kusama’s instillation ‘Gleaming Lights of the Souls’, viewers can experience a surreal feeling of infinity. Hundreds of LEDs are suspended above a pool of water and reflected by mirrored walls.

This handsome chap is a professor at NYU and he is going under the knife soon, not to get a new pair of boobs, but to have a camera attached to the back of his head via a piercing type system. The reason? To broadcast photos every 60 seconds to monitors at the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art in Qatar. Gizmodo has more information on the weird yet wonderful experiment that brings to life the age old saying “Eyes on the back of my head!”
