Daydream V.02 by Nonotak Studio (Noemi Schipfer and Takami Nakamoto) is a ‘space distorting’ audiovisual installation. Nonotak sez of it:
Relationship between space and time, accelerations, contractions, shifts and metamorphosis have been the lexical field of the project. This installation aimed at establishing a physical connection between the virtual space and the real space, blurring the limits and submerging the audience into a short detachment from reality. Lights generate abstract spaces while sounds define the echoes of virtual spaces. Daydream is an invitation to contemplation. The frontality of the installation leads the visitors to a passive position.
That, or drives them screaming from the building, bleeding from the eyes and ears.
One of the two, certainly.

North Dakota retired engineer George Loegering has found a rare spinning disk of ice in the Sheyenne River, a weather phenomenon experts say likely was caused by cold, dense air, and an eddy in the river.
