Part of an art project, the cemetery of disused war planes in Arizona are getting interesting by letting graffiti artists paint on the plane. ‘The Boneyard Project’ as the art project called, has attracted more than 30 of the world’s best urban artists worked on five ruined US Air Force jets, vividly bringing them back to life with paint and colour.
Initiated by art patron Eric Firestone, the project seeks to resurrect disused planes from throughout America’s military history.The first part of the Boneyard Project, 'Nose Job', made its debut in the summer of 2011 with an exhibition of nose cones taken from military airplanes and given to artists to use as eccentric- shaped "canvases". The second installment in this series: Round Trip: Selections from The Boneyard Project, features five monumental works created on military planes by a dynamic selection of popular graffiti and street artists from around the world.
The show is on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson until mid-May.

Created by the awesome forces of nature, the deep blue cave was formed by the glacier meeting the coastline. The centuries old ice coming down the slopes of Öræfajökull via Svínafellsjökull glacier has had almost all of the air pressed out of the ice. This phenomena has turns the ice into this magically blue crystal like ice while the outer surface expose to the weather, sun-rays, dust and other things is white.
Blue ice like this deep blue occurs over hundreds of years and begins when simple snow falls onto ice or in this case a glacier. The snow sticks to the ice and has its air bubbles forced out during the movement of the glacier or transit of the ice. Then this snow freezes more to become ice crystals and becomes clearer.
Located at the bottom of the 6,921 feet tall Vrffajvkull, Iceland's tallest active volcano, the Crystal Cave of Svmnafellsjvkull is accessible through a 22-foot entrance on the shoreline. However because of the instability of ice cave, it is advisable to visit in winter when the cold temperatures harden the ice.

Gavin Worth, a self-taught artist has done some pretty decent wire sculptures. Gavin first became interested in wire sculpture after seeing an exhibit on Calder at the SFMoma.
By bending black wire into something of freestanding line drawings, I create sculptures that engage the viewer by involving them in their subtle changes. When the light in the room shifts, so does the mood of the piece. A breeze might softly move an arm. My wire sculptures tell stories of simple human moments: a woman adjusting her hair, a face gazing from behind tightly wrapped arms, a mother gently cradling her baby. The honest, unguarded moments are the ones that I find to be the most beautiful.--Gavin Worth

Created by Makoto Hirahara with the help of openFrameworks on drawing of the plant, Flowerium is an apps designed for iPhone and iPad that grow of virtual plant, and collects favorite flowers.
The seed is sown when you touch the screen, it falls on the ground and then, new bud comes out. The plant are filled with energy of the sun that fall down on it and grows up. Therefore, it withers when it is a shadow of other plants.
The flower blooms when growing up as well. It is possible to preserve it by giving the name when it touches the liked flower. The preserved flower can be seen from Library, and the thing that seeds it can be done, too.
It becomes a seed when there is a sufficient nutrition when the flower is in blossom. The seed has succeeded parents' genes. It hybridizes and it is inherited...both characters...when other plant flower is in blossom. The mutation might sometimes occur, and a change different from usual hybridization be done. The botanical image can be preserved in the camera roll, and tweeted.

The trio has done it again. Sweden-based Claesson Koivisto Rune has designed this stunning art gallery- ORSTA Gallery in Kulma, Sweden.
An art-piece itself, ORSTA Gallery is a gallery of modern art, sited atop an artificial hill, the building's base follow the hill's topology. The resulting series of curves, combined with mirroring roof-line curves, make the planer facades seem curved from top and bottom. Furthermore, the narrow facade openings, makes the 6.7 metres tall building difficult to judge from a distance.
The interior is divided into four different sizes gallery, has both central cross access and complete side circulation. The white painted facades are coated with three tons of special reflective glass beads that work in a similar way as the reflective element in zebra crossing. If viewed from the same angle as the incident light source, the gallery glows as if lit from within. The artificial red light effect, 'Husfenomen', is a site specific art work by Mikael Pauli.

Claesson Koivisto Rune started as an architectural office but soon became multi-disciplinally design practise. Some of their works are Belle Ring Holder for Skultuna, Snowflakes Tables and Parupu Children's Chair.

Acclaimed lighting artist Bruce Munro is bringing his Field of Light to the Holburne Museum in Bath from 26 November 2011 to 8 January 2012.
Field of Light at the Holburne Museum will consist of 5,220 of acrylic stems, each crowned with a frosted sphere and linked with fiber-optic cable- planted in the grounds of the Museum and flowing into the Garden Cafe. To be lit by a colour projector, the result is quite magical, as both colour and light flow through the bulbs to create a uniquely captivating experience.
The Field of Light was inspired nearly twenty years ago while Munro traveling in Australia Red Desert. He became transfixed by the way in which the barren dessert would burst into bloom after rainfall. Field of Light too lies dormant during the hours of day light, but when darkness falls the bulbs flower with gentle rhythms of light and patterns of colour.
The light installation at the time of Christmas season will let visitors & residents around Bath to enjoy the magical experience as a number of bulbs will cascade across the front lawn of the Museum. Bruce Munro says, “I’ll be happy if it makes people smile at Christmas time.”

Famed for their Paper Softwall which earned the permanent collection by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, Molo Studio is expanding the collection by introducing a series of softseating, a continuation of the Paper softwall project.
Utilizing a honeycomb structure to fan open into stools, benches, and loungers, each softseating has magnetic end panels, allowing an element to connect to itself, forming a cylindrical stool or low table, or to connect to other elements of the same size in series, creating long winding benches and endless possibilities for seating topographies. The beauty of these pieces is that they are sculptural abstract forms, each made from a single material, that can be used creatively and interchangeably as seating or low tables.
Based in Vancouver, Canada, Molo Studio is a collaborative design and production studio led by Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen and Robert Pasut.

Urville, a capital city with a population of nearly 12 million, making it one of Europe's most significant cities. It is also entirely imaginary.
Gilles Tréhin, an autistic French with exceptional creative talents has been drawing since age 5, but at age 12 he began designing an imaginary city he named URVILLE, which is described in great detail from the remarkable architectural to the thoughtful cultural context rooted in real world history. Since then Tréhin has spent over 20 years to conceive and develop 'Urville', a name comes from "Dumont d'Urville", which is a scientific base, in a French territory of the Antarctic.
He shares his vision in this beautifully illustrated guide to the city, which he renders convincingly real in nearly 300 drawings of different districts of Urville. All the drawings, come from the 5 main very large general views of the different sectors of the city. There is an example of a large view at the beginning of this text. Each of the smaller views show details of the streets, squares and various monuments of Urville.
This book written by Tréhin, "Urville's Guided Tour," offers fascinating evidence of and insight into the creative power of the autistic mind and will be of interest to people with autism and without.
