Sound Sculptures: An Interactive Installation

This inventive cardboard installation is made by the Swiss design group, Zimoun. This installation is quite intriguing, it’s a series of 2,000 cardboards attached to 200 DC motors, which makes music in the most unconventional way thought. Sound Sculptures is truly a piece to marvel at, the scathing audio that is lurking in everyday objects. The untapped potential in the world. The clean, elegant sound sculptures combine visual, sonic, and spatial elements in an organically balanced entirely artwork. Using simple and well- conceived mechanical systems, Zimouns‘s work transforms and activates the space. Be sure to check out more of Zimoun’s work after the jump.

Be sure to watch the video for more of interactive showcasing of the installation, over at Vimeo.

Stunning Starry Nights of Lincoln Harrison

Victoria, Australia-based photographer Lincoln Harrison has been taking pictures for just two years. Harrison says his images are created by taking one shot during twilight and then up to 500 shots in complete darkness throughout the night. Harrison says most of his pictures are of star trails and landscapes usually around Lake Eppalock in Victoria, Australia.

“Locations are chosen in pretty much the same way as I would choose landscape locations,” says Harrison. “I just drive or walk around until I see something that looks good.”

After Harrison returns from his night shoot, he processes the image in Adobe Photoshop, stacking the images using the lighten and blend modes, to create his spectacular images. He then adds the twilight image, sometimes shot using HDR (High Dynamic Range) and a combination of layer masks.

His favorite? At the moment Wormhole. You can see more of his incredible images at his website or at 500px.com
