Behold: the Dolni Morava Sky Walk – a wood and steel walkway craning over the edge of a cliff 1,100m above sea level in the Czech republic.
Created by Fránek Architects, the structure allows visitors to walk among the clouds or (weather permitting) lie prone on an open mesh floor at the top for vertiginous views of the the Morava river and Krkonoše Mountains before descending a 100m long, 18-storey stainless steel tube slide (enclosed, but featuring windows) all the way back to the bottom.
This afternoon.

Sexist pig.

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.
