Borondo

Street art – gritty, political, rebellious, controversial, anonymous and often, ugly. Beauty is never in question with the quasi-classical work of Spanish artist Borondo.



















“As Aldous Huxley wrote, we live in two worlds: the world of facts and the world of symbols. The social life is built on a base of symbols that … become rules and institutions. In consequence, the world of everyday life is a symbolic world; it is developed in the framework of secular and sacred symbols, but also symbols that create institutions, which become symbols of language, customs, fashions, ways of being. Human beings tend to sort their feelings, desires and thoughts through forms symbolic as religion, art, myths, language and dress.” – Borondo

Coolest Bridge Ever!

Some people are searching new type of bridges to cross river Seine. This is a conceptual trampoline bridge designed by Atelier Zündel Cristea. It consists of tubular inflatable walls with a series of giant trampolines strung between them so you can jump your way across the river.  The bridge is set to be located strategically in relation to the Eiffel Tower, so as to provide users with a unique view of the city.

21 swings

Every spring, an interactive installation takes over a high-traffic area in Montréal’s Quartier des spectacles and sets a collective ritual. The installation offers a fresh look at the idea of cooperation, the notion that we can achieve more together than alone. The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation. A project that has been travelling in many locations, bringing people together to make music with their entire body.
