1. My husband is an animator for the Planetarium at the Museum of Science in Boston. At a recent event called Cosmic Loops<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>the planetarium became the stage for musician Ian Case. As a treat from the regular space imagery, the animators got to play around with ethereal visuals to compliment the live music.\u00a0
2. Korean artist Do Ho Suh just created his most impressive large-scale installation to date entitled Home Within\u00a0Home Within\u00a0Home Within\u00a0Home Within Home<\/a>. <\/em>The installation centers around the artist’s previous residences on a 1:1 scale. Each home is built within the next out of blue silk evoking a blueprint. His childhood home, a traditional Korean structure is suspended inside his first residency in the United States, a modern apartment in Rhode Island.\u00a0
3. Behold the amazing woven optical illusions and other works of Samantha Bittman<\/a>!
4. Auto-aerobics<\/em><\/a> is a wonderfully convincing 3d-illustrated series from artist Chris Labrooy. By experimenting with stretching, space and interaction, Chris is creating some fascinating and perplexing imagery.
5. Just lovely, lovely fiber art from the talented Emily Eibel<\/a>. Don’t glaze over the illustrations, they are equally spectacular!\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. After 5,000 hours of work over 3 years, Polish concert pianist Slawomir Zubrzycki\u00a0has created his own version of the viola organista. The initial inspiration came from Leonardo Da Vinci’s 15th century notebooks containing page after page of various inventions. The instrument is quite striking in appearance and plays magnificently. You can check out the debut performance here<\/a>.\u00a0
7.\u00a0Julee Yoo<\/a>\u00a0is quite a talented illustrator combining iconography from Victorian, Korean and Japanese culture with bright bold color palettes.\u00a0
8. Mark Twain’s little-known book Advice to Little Girls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>was written in 1865 with wonderful illustrations by Vladimir Radunsky. In this short story he encourages little girls to think independently as opposed to following rules and social cues.\u00a0
9. Have fun with the quirky work of illustrator\/ceramicist extra-ordinaire Amy Louise Worrall<\/a>.\u00a0
10. Richard Balzer has been collecting vintage moveable imagery for the past 40 years. And during the past 5 years, he’s been curating a virtual gallery<\/a> of his collection; turning 19th century vovelles into 21st century GIFs.<\/p>\n
