Photographer Natasja Fourie (NSFW) has a really great website. Her photography is equally as good and really stands out from the crowd with her use of locations and other media.

Dvein
There’s some great work going on over at Dvein. As well as having a pretty damn slick website, I’m really diggin’ the Diesel Liquid Space Show visuals.
Telectroscope
I was lucky enough to be able to go and visit the Telectroscope in London bridge last night and I can attest first hand that it is a wonderful piece of interactive public art. The Telectroscope is the brain child of Victorian engineer Alexander Stanhope St George who envisaged a secret tunnel running underneath the Atlantic connecting London with New York.
These plans were re-discovered by Alexander’s great grandson Paul St George a few years ago and with the miracle of modern technology his vision has finally been achieved. The apparatus itself looks like a huge steampunk-esque telescope buried in the ground and allows viewers to communicate in real-time between London and New York via a large screen and webcam.
The exhibition is on in both London (London Bridge) and New York (Brooklyn Bridge) until June 15th, so if you’re in either city I definitely recommend going to check it out.

Li Wei
The art of Li Wei is very curious indeed! Depicting people in impossible positions is his forté and the results are incredible. Go check him out for some mind bending imagery.
madein.la
Following on with what seems to be the theme of the moment, interactive displays and interiors, I present to you the work of Nikolai Cornell AKA madein.la who has some brilliant interactive kiosks, exhibitions, wall panels and pretty much anything else that has a screen!
Trafik
Trafik are a French design firm who have some great looking visual / interactive interiors in their portfolio. I was wondering who I was reminded of when visiting the site when I realised it does look very similar to UK based United Visual Artists. Anyway, regardless of that I suggest checking them out for some interesting ways of combining design and technology with interior spaces.
Eco Art Tech
Eco Art Tech works with digital, networked, and sustainable technologies and contemporary environments to create art about the environmentality of modern life. There are some great visualisations showing the collision between natural and digital elements.
Meso
Meso digital design agency are on a whole other level. Their digital interiors are both amazing and awe inspiring. Shown above is an image from Cyberhelvetia where a digital swimming pool was installed to simulate bathing. You really have to see it to understand, but the results are mind blowing.
Light Bulb Candle
The Light Bulb Candle from Spoon Sisters is a clever idea. It reminds me of the Big Dipper by Sarah Van Gameren.
Retro Skate Stickers
Man this site takes me back! Days spent cruising along the beach front on an old Powell-Peralta and chilling with good buddies. Retroskatestickers.com has an amazing gallery of vintage skate stickers, which is a great reference and super nostalgic for all the old school skaters out there.
