Pe Lang + Zimoun
This is probably the best sound installation series I've seen in a long time. Swiss sound artists Pe Lang and Zimoun create ambitious installations of repetitive sonic mechanisms that collectively vibrate against architectural structures to create acoustic washes of white noise, dense cacophony, random polyphonic rhythms, insect-like soundscapes and more. The quicktime video of their "untitled sound objects" is totally amazing! A feast for both ears and eyes.

Shared Propulsion Car
No engine. No gas. Human powered. Totally recycled. Just about as green as you can get, but does it work? Check out this video of artist Michel de Brion's 1986 Buick in action. Brion's trans-disciplinary works range from sculpture to mechanics to public actions. His common theme of altering utopian objects and ideas remind me of the early work of American sculptor Tom Friedman. Looking forward to what both artists do next.
