This great concept for fencing is by Dutch design house Demakersvan. Fences always seem like such clinical structures and this proves that they don’t have to be.

Passage is a beautiful conceptual game created by Jason Rohrer. The game, which takes about five minutes to play, makes the player reflect on the passage of time and the passage of a lifetime. It’s a wonderful experience and a really creative use of video games as art.

vvvv is a multipurpose real-time video mixing (VJ) tool that can interact with audio and be used for large scale applications. It kind of reminds me of things people are doing with processing at the moment, although perhaps on a larger scale. You have to check out the galeria to see some of the amazing images vvvv is capable of. (Image above by zeroinfluence)

New York City Waterfalls is an art initiative by Danish atist Olafur Eliasson to beautify the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The work will be on display from mid-July to mid-October 2008.

Little People is an art project of miniature proportions. As the name suggests, little people are left in different spots around London to fend for themselves! The photos are great and if you want you can buy a print from the website.

Yvonne Lee Schultz has some great art works on display on her website. The main themes seem to be either the effects of war and destruction or, in complete contrast, the beauty of this planet (I couldn’t find an artists statement on the site). Either way my favourite  is this porcelain handgun, which I guess symbolises the fragility of human life.

ooo000ooo is Brian Morris’ online playground and there’s plenty of great stuff to check out. Everything has a distinctly macabre feel to it (perhaps it’s the skulls!) but there’s some truly inspirational work scattered around especially the vinyl toy art in the whatnots section.

A to Zee is a beautifully illustrated childrens book of the alphabet from the infamous Robotface Collective. Featuring some beautiful graphics from the likes of Ray Frenden (also featured here yesterday!), Drout750, Julie West, Chris Bishop and many more this book is a treat for the design savvy child or just the design savvy! (featured above is C for Crab by Drout750 and Y for Yeti by Julie West).

Ray Frenden is a very talented illustrator indeed! His work consists mainly of ghouls, goblins and such but don’t let that frighten you away, his style is amazing. Totally reminds me of Dan Clowes.

Ola Pehrson is a Swedish based artist whose work seems to explore a connection between the real world and computers. Shown here is a 10:1 scale model of a windows 95 desktop, filmed in real time and displayed back onto a computer monitor. Genius!
