Nucleo

A nice bit of interior design here from Nucleo, who decked out the interior for the Iris Ceramica Ritmo and Velvet tiles collection showroom. “The project aims to fragment and destruct. To reduce aggregated forms to elementary geometry. Nothing more and nothing less than volume, crucial and bearing structure, strength and vital consistency of materials.”

Chris O’Shea / Hand From Above

This is one of the best examples of interactive artwork I have seen in absolutely ages. Chris O’Shea’s ‘Hand From Above’ is well thought out, witty and novel. Make sure you watch the video - the public’s reaction is fantastic.

“Hand From Above encourages us to question our normal routine when we often find ourselves rushing from one destination to another. Inspired by Land of the Giants and Goliath, we are reminded of mythical stories by mischievously unleashing a giant hand from the BBC Big Screen. Passers by will be playfully transformed. What if humans weren’t on top of the food chain? Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity.”
