Here's something called Seizure.

The blurb reads thus
British artist Roger Hiorns uses unusual materials to effect surprising transformations on found objects and urban situations. Fire emerges from storm drains, perfume permeates metal surfaces, and copper sulphate crystals colonise industrial objects.

SEIZURE was Hiorns’ most ambitious work to date and his first major sculptural project within an urban site, and it marked a radical shift in scale and context in his work. The artist encouraged the growth of an unexpected crystal form within a low-rise late-modernist development near the Elephant & Castle in south London.

It is interesting to note this has been listed for the Turner Prize, which makes a change from the usual wheelbarrow full of monkey fur and custard with a flag bearing Su Pollards' face sticking out the top.

This is a nice little self-test. It's spotting a hundred people who have been famous throughout history. It is a VERY large image though, so if you are on a slow connection it will take time to load.

They don't care. And you KNOW they don't.
View Article  Three D Room
Three d is of course the venture which started in the 1960s with stupid glasses, and that domed shaped thing called Cinema 2000, which appeared to be needed to be situated in a large muddy field while a panoramic image of a rollercoaster was shown, making people lean etc and humour ensuing when one of them fell in the mud.

Like the previous post, this highlights the imagination - and ot some extent maths - involved in actually making a pattern on the walls and ceiling which could be three D, but isn't. More here.

Is it art, is it watermelon? Is it artmelon? You know, that's put an unfortunate image into my head....
