‘The Empire Strikes Black‘ is the title of a 26-page shoot by Mario Sorrenti with Naomi Campbell in the current issue of V Magazine. That coat by Viktor & Rolf is just … I hope I’ll see it in the Berlin streets this winter.
James Jean is an artist, it’s simple as that. ProcessRecess is his online shop and blog, especially his blog is interesting because he often shows some steps in his process. He was asked to do this illustration for the Watchmen movie, a Vargas-esque portrait of Sally Jupiter, played by Carla Gugino. Luscious!
‘Volume of Emptiness’ is an installation by John Houck. 35 threads are hanging down from the ceiling, each of them is attached to an electric motor. Those are controlled by an Arduino board, which receives its commands from a Processing sketch. So when the motors start to run, the threads gain a certain volume which subtly shift in size over time. The whole space is then filled with empty volumes.
This project reminds me of ‘Live Wire‘ by Natalie Jeremijenko, a true classic from 1995. It’s also a wire hanging down from the ceiling, but this one displays the activity on a local network.
Kivik Start is series of concrete boxes designed by the Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta and the Swedish photographer Tom Sandberg, for the new contemporary art centre in Kivik, Sweden. They explore the spacial and temporal relationship between photography, archtecture and the landscape.

‘Dipping Duck Orchestra’ by Kitty Clark.
8 Dipping ducks (a.k.a happy birds, drinking birds…) and their respective drinking glasses are wired up to the 8 notes of a modified keyboard. Each time a duck tips down and touches the water to ‘drink’ the circuit is completed and a sound is produced. Being thermodynamic, the ducks continue to produce random compositions depending on temperature.

‘Afasia 1′ is an art installation by Arcangelo Sassolino. Maybe you’ve guessed it, this is a nitrogen-powered sculpture that shoots empty beer bottles against a wall at 600km/hr inside a metal cage. I wouldn’t get to close if I were you, but you can see it in action at the Superdome exhibition at Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
