This enchanting 12-minute film depicts iconic architectural masterpieces through the eyes of a photographer -- and it is completely computer rendered!

SIMPLE MATERIALS create textured visuals. Eric Daigh uses duct tape, push pins, and other pedestrian materials for his compositions.
This group took 80+ hours to install a rigorous message here. [If you’re curious, the ‘rigor’ installation in our office took two people about 30 minutes]
Last Saturday, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles celebrated its 30th anniversary with a huge gala, featuring Lady GaGa's world debut of her song, 'Speechless'.
Lady GaGa, who is known for her outrageous looks, wore a hat designed by Frank Gehry (possibly an old architectural model) and a dress designed by artist Damien Hirst (no dead animals were harmed) which were auctioned off for charity later in the night. The Hirst-designed piano which Gaga played on was also auctioned off.Fortunately Uncle Frank didn't perform his version of Poker Face.
Here's the GehristGaGala:

I normally don't like decoration, but I thought this collection of glass objects by Slovakain designer Tomas Kral is rather ingenious and witty.
