Switzerland-based Corinne Vionnet is our guide to the world’s most famous landmarks, monuments millions have visited before. Her art is created not by acrylic, oil, or watercolor, each piece is made by combining hundreds of tourist photos into one. After conducting an online keyword search and sifting through photo sharing sites, this Swiss/French artist carefully layers 200 to 300 photos on top of one another until she gets her desired result. via My Modern Met

orangecrateart: Google just came out with Art Project, which is basically Google Street View for major museums around the world, allowing you to “walk around” and see the museum. The craziest part is that they made these insanely high resolution pictures of the paintings, allowing you to zoom really far in and see, in great detail, what the brushstrokes of these paintings look like. Probably far closer than you could actually get at the museum. This is what Van Gogh’s Starry Night looks like in extreme detail. VIA balltillifall | audreyhepburncomplex
orangecrateart: Cloudscapes: Japanese architect Tetsuo Kondo and a German climate engineering firm Transsolar came together to put a cloud in a large interior space called the Corderie, a 316-meter-long space where ropes for Venetian ships were made. Visitors to the exhibit can walk through the cloud via a circular ramp that ascended 4.3 meters high. This feat of climate engineering is produced by blowing three layers of air into the space at different temperatures. Cool dry air at the bottom layer keeps the cloud up; warm, humid air in the middle creates the dense fog; hot, dry air sits on top. VIA pratt

Turrell’s installation within the open pavilion brings a square of sky through an overhead plane. By swimming underwater at the end of the pool, one surfaces within a cube-like Skyspace, whose interior is finished in teak.
