Aww.
Created between 2005 and 2008 by Russian artist Dimitri Tsyalov. Long since rotted away. Such is life.

Anonymous Madrid-based art group LuzInterruptus draws public attention to social and environmental issues in the city (decommissioned public swimming pools, nuclear power, shrinking green space, abandoned sites, etc) by creating ‘light interventions’ (not to be confused with ‘heavy interventions’) – temporary LED installations. They say:
We began to act on the streets of Madrid at the end of 2008 with had the simple idea of focusing people´s attention by using light on problems that we found in the city and that seem to go unnoticed to the authorities and citizens. But everything that we do does not have a subversive aim. Sometimes we simply want to embellish, or to highlight anonymous places or corners that seem special or objects to which we think extraordinary artistic value, although they have been left on the streets for unknown reasons, with artistic intention, by anonymous people.
Oakland sculptor Scott Hove’s inedible (not that you’re tempted) sculptural cakes, complete with teeth, maws and fetishistic spikes. Sez he:
This body of work is a result of self-education, a lifelong interest in artificial food and objects, and an obsession with the relationship between the beautiful and the brutal. All beautiful things are equipped with a defense mechanism, to protect against the predations of those who seek to possess. The mechanizations of the predator also have a terrifying elegance. The two working together tell a very old story, and are the basis of many archetypes.

Melbourne/London based filmmaker Callum Cooper creates these brilliant, discombobulating visual sculptures by embedding tiny cameras to capture multiple scenes from unexpected angles.
The two videos above are Full Circle (a nifty promo for the fashion label Klezinski) and Paradoxical Plane (which was presented on two large curved screens with quadrophonic sound to further immerse viewers in the experience.)
