Street signs by artist and designer April Soetarman, distributed around her hometown of Seattle since 2016 and documented on her website Weird Side Projects.
The extraordinary gelatinous creations of Siew Heng Boon – a one woman artisanal jelly cake maker based in New South Wales, Australia.
Everything you see is edible, including the flowers, leaves and fish, which are formed by injecting coloured jelly into the glasslike seaweed jelly medium.
Origami Lava

A spectacular ‘lava flow’ descending from an abandoned building in the Catalonian town of Olot composed of 10,000 fortune teller origami polygons.
Lit from below and wreathed in fumes from smoke machines, the installation – created for the LLUÈRNIA festival of light and fire by David Oliva of SP25 Arquitectura and Anna Juncà of Atelier 4 – takes its cue from the dormant volcanos that surround the town.
‘Two Hundred and Seventy’ (2018) – an installation by Nils Völker at Museum für agewandte Kunst (MAK) in Vienna,
A concave array of 270 plastic bags suspended from the ceiling inflate and deflate rhythmically – their movement controlled and synchronised by 1000 precisely aligned fans and 45 circuit boards.
A constant crinkling sound fills the museum’s vast hall. Like the rustle of tissue paper. Or the rush of the tide.
Or that locust-person in Screen 12, two seats away with the big bag of M&Ms.

A kinetic sculpture designed by Derek Hugger that deftly mimics the motion of a sea turtle gliding through the ocean.
The piece – with 600 parts controlling a range of synchronised tilts and movements – was only attempted after Hugger spent a ‘non-trivial amount of time watching and studying videos of turtles swimming.’
