By Aslak Vibæk and Peter Døssing (AVPD), when I saw this intriguing, mind-boggling installation called Hitchcock Hallway, I realised that I had been to see it when it was installed. It was at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham last year, when you walked through it, it seemed never-ending, each door having to be closed before opening the next. I almost thought I was stuck in a paradox never to escape, brilliant interactive installation!
I started to panic about half-way through because the doors didn’t end, I imagine this to be what limbo is like.

21 Balançoires (21 Swings) is an installation on a Montreal street which converted a narrow strip of land into an enourmous musical instruement. Pre-recorded sounds from a xylophone, piano, and other instruments were programmed into color-coded swings that when in use play various notes, however when swung in unison with careful cooperation, more complex melodies and harmonies arise. An additional “secret mode” was programmed to only play when all 21 swings were in use.
There is a beautiful video @vimeo, if you would like to discover what it sounds like.
And now, I want to go to Montreal just so I can go these swings.

Why can’t all music videos be this good?

Finding out about Hawkeye’s 70’s miniskirt costume is one of my favorite things that has ever happened to me.

Photog Makes Whimsical Art With Carpet, Construction Paper and Cat
California photographer Theresa Knudson had an epiphany when her cat Fluffy was sleeping on a blue carpet during a hot day.
“I cut out some construction paper balloons, fish, clouds, etc. and laid them down around him,” Knudson tells The Fluffington Post. “I stood on my sofa and shot from above.”
The rest is Internet history, as the photos have popped up on blogs all over the web. Knudson credits the technique to Jan von Holleben, whom she claims is the master.
