Chromatex.me by Softlab Studio
SOFTlab has produced an installation at the Bridgegallery in the lower east side of Manhattan. The multi-colored, temporary structure consists of 5,000 uniquely shaped panels held together by binder clips, creating volumes branching tunnels throughout the gallery space.
This project was fully founded by the on-line community by creating an interesting project at the kickstarter website were they offered a small ownership of the installation by engraving your name or a message in exchange of a small donation so when the installation is eventually disassembled, they will be shipped to their respective donor’s home. You can check out a map of some of the contributors to this project here.

Shadow Art by Tim Noble and Sue Webster
Tim Noble and Sue Webster are an incredible artistic duo based in England who have worked on a variety of related projects experimenting with trash and projected shadows.
Their notable pieces are made from piles of rubbish collected from London streets. A light is projected against the pile, and the shadow on the wall creates an entirely different image, typically one of the couple themselves: this is not at all apparent from looking directly at the pile.
