La Mise en Abîme by Romain Crelier
terrific installation by the swiss artist. m.
Created by Swiss artist Romain Crelier, La Mise en Abîme (an idiom that communicates the same thing as “a curveball,” but means, roughly, “to have put into an abyss”) was a visually arresting artwork installed on the floor of the Bellelay Abbey in Switzerland back in 2013. The piece is comprised of two shallow pools of used motor oil that function as mirrors, reflecting the architectural details of the surrounding interior. The crude juxtaposition of recycled oil and the impeccably preserved aesthetic of a 12th century church wasn’t lost on the artist who referred to the piece as “monochrome paintings using a despised substance.”

Video — Rain Lamp by Richard Clarkson Studio
stellar minimalist lamp design by the new york + new zealand based studio. m.
Richard Clarkson Studio creates what they like to call “harmonious contradictions”, the idea that contrasting elements can come together under the right conditions to result in some spectacular outcomes. The first of these projects is the Rain Lamp, which brings water and electricity together to form a unique piece of lighting.
A large, clear globe is outfitted with a Micro-Peristaltic pump and an LED light bulb, with a pool of lighting chlorinated water at the bottom. The hidden pump circulates the water from the bottom to release drops around the bulb.
