Impulse: 30 illuminated see-saws currently on show at the Place Des Festivals in Montreal.

In Vitro

Micro Matter – a series of seemingly gravity defying miniature tower houses and other structures created inside large test tubes by Amstedam-based art director Rosa de Jong.
Flux: a 3D printed zoetrope sculpture created by German designers Dieter Pilger, Janno Ströcker and Frederik Scheve. Unusually, no strobe lighting is required to view the animation effect. Instead, the glowing surface appears to move when spun in regular light (or darkness).
The team credits the Fibonacci zoetropes of artist and Stanford lecturer John Edmark as their inspiration.

Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs (1987) celebrated in posters by artist Joshua Budich – parodying an earlier set of posters for Star Wars which is itself parodied by Spaceballs.
New works by Banksy at the Jungle Refugee Camp in Calais (where he and his crew already exported the remnants of Dismaland to build shelters and a playground) including a depiction of Steve Jobs, the adopted ‘son of a migrant from Syria’ and a reference to Géricault’s Le Radeau de la Méduse in the form of desperate occupants on a sinking raft waving at a distant cruise ship.

Nest 06 – a new addition to artist Jakub Geltner’s nested CCTV installations – part of last month’s Sculpture By The Sea outdoor exhibition in Sydney Australia. More than a dozen functioning cameras near Bondi generated a live internet feed of viewers thoughout the exhbition.

Cube
at
Emergence Lab – an anamorphic sculpture by artist Thomas Medicus featuring six handpainted images spread across 216 laser-cut acrylic glass strips inside a large translucent cube.
The cube is filled with silicone oil to simulate the appearance of solid glass. Each image aligns when that side of the cube is viewed head on.
