Our favorite is this hovering magnetic cloud, mostly because it so seamlessly translates into a GIF. Which got us thinking, maybe life itself is a succession IRL GIFs, man.
Benjamin Muzzin's work evokes the third dimension by rigging flatscreen television screens to a machine capable of spinning them at very high speeds.

As part of an exhibition for Berlin's Art Hack Day -- an internet-based nonprofit dedicated to "hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is tech" -- artists Kim Asendorf, Andreas Nicolas Fischer,…
Swiss sound artist Zimoun creates epic "kinetic sound structures" by applying basic mechanics to simple industrial materials, a lot of them, strategically assembled to emit complex and layered rhythms. His latest installation (video above) was made by attaching 329 of Zimoun's signature dc-motors to cotton balls, and symmetrically placing them throughout a…
