Drone to the French Alps
Romano FPV takes his drone on an epic flight from Chamonix (1030m) to Aiguille du midi (3842m) in the French Alps.
Illoominated II
This projection mapping installation by Todd Moyer Designs was inspired by the machinery of a fabric loom. Projections create the illusion of rolling spools of yarn and woven textiles, while colorful laser beams emulate thread. Illoominated II was on display at the Portland Winter Light Festival 2025.
Uniq Volumetric puzzles
Uniq volumetric puzzles are made from soft PVC and molded into sculptural pieces. The first set of puzzles feature curvy, organic shapes and 30 to 70 pieces each
Shadow art
João Paulo Gonçalves creates art by precisely cutting and placing blocks to produce the shadow of an entirely different image when illuminated from the center using a reflector bulb.
Welding class
When I was on a 8 week sabbatical a number of years ago, I took an artistic welding class. It was a ton of fun. Sugar Metal Customs does custom ironwork, but also teaches some classes from making metal roses to giant metal flails for your medieval fantasies.
Maybe pick up a skill that AI can’t replace?
VR bathrooms
Jake Welch has been capturing 3D scans of unique bathrooms (largely around the New York area).
