Photosynthetic Photography: Pixels are Blades of Grass

That’s not a just any blurry photograph - in fact, it’s not made from either computer pixels or grains of silver halide, but blades of grass!
Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey of Santa Barbara Museum of Art created photosynthetic "photograph" by letting different amount of lights through on a field of growing grass.

Pablo Picasso’s Guernica in 3D

Pablo Picasso was commissioned by the Spanish government to commemorate the Nazi Germany bombing of Guernica, Spain, during the Spanish Civil War in 1937. The result is Guernica, a black and white painting that depicts the suffering and brutality of war.
Fast forward to 2008, where Lena Gieseke turned Picasso’s Guernica mural into 3-D for her degree in computer animation from the University of Georgia.

Narcisse by Mathieu Lehanneur

Photo: Véronique Huyghe
Narcisse is an art project by French artist and designer Mathieu Lehanneur. It’s a giant bowl with mirrored surface filled with water - as soon as someone comes close to see his/her own reflection (just like Narcissus [wiki]), a promiximity sensor will trigger the interior basin to rotate and deform the reflection.

Sir Lube of Can-O-Lot Robot

Paul Loughridge of Lockwasher Design makes awesome robots, ray guns, and rockets out of vintage cans and other found objects (read: junk).
We’ve actually featured Paul before on Neatorama a while ago, but this one sculpture, the Sir Lube of Can-O-Lot, is so awesome we just have to post about it. The robot is made from an old hydraulic pump oiler, and comes complete with with a custom made helmet with hinged face guard!
