Awesome Art & Design

Installed outside a Montreal ticket office, Moment Factory’s LED Video Wall uses tracking devices to interact with passersby in seemingly random ways, often without their knowledge.

Aissa Logerot’s Halo Light Writer makes tagging geeky, swapping aerosol with photons; you’ll be able to change intensity and color, but charging the battery is old-school: shake the can.

Experience The Planets is an ongoing art project that visualizes our solar system through the eyes of artists; it’s developed by Greg Martin, who knows a thing or two about space art.

These building facade projections just keep getting better and better: 555 KubiK is a step up from the Castle, with a pair of hands and sound effects adding to the already cool 3D trickery.

Jess Bachman’s 2010 Death and Taxes poster is an exciting one for bean counters and watchdogs alike: a new administration equals plenty of shuffling for our precious tax dollars.

Our arboreal friends are the last ones we’d think to be noisemakers, but Diego Stocco’s Music From A Tree brings their numerous twigs, branches and leaves to life with an array of mics.

It’s almost more movie mayhem that we can handle: Tim Doyle’s Crazy 4 Cult 3-D poster is packed with about 40 weapons from cult movies with varying levels of obscurity.

Even if you’re a Super Smash Bros Brawl expert, Brawl will show your favorite characters in a completely new light: it’s real people in odd costumes and with even odder poses.

Think twice when you bite down on a Christmas treat: Jason Freeny, who did the Lego and Gummi Bear schematics, is back with the positively gut-wrenching Gingerbread Man Dissected.

Dion Briggs takes a slight break from his exploded tees with the Mac Poster Trilogy; it features one lithograph and two screenprints that should leave Apple fans peachy keen.

Stefan Le Du’s Stormtroopers 365 is an ongoing art project using our favorite weak-willed Imperial minions in often-compromising positions; he’s shooting one new pic every day.

Installed at the Goodwood Festival in England, Gerry Gudah’s Audi Central Display stands a whopping 105 feet high; it features an R8 on one end and a 1937 Streamliner at the other.

Instead of throwing out his kids’ toys, artist Robert Bradford creates sculptures made entirely from plastic toys; he’s been known to pack in up to 3,000 toys, all held together by screws.

If you want to Get Zombified, artist Joel Harris will do it for free; UPDATE: due to extreme popularity, the promotion is over but you can still get zombified for a discounted rate of $15.

Similar to the incredible opening for Contact, Electromagnetic Leak is an infographic that plots out the distance our TV shows have traveled through space, with major stars as signposts.
