Interesting Sculptures
Chocolate World
Japan's Otemae Confectionery College professor Hiroshi Matsui displays a 3-meter diameter chocolate made globe, weighing 800kg, at the college's festival November 10, 2007 in Osaka, western Japan. Matsui and students dotted some 35,000 colored chocolate truffles, in 3-cm diameter, on a 3-meter diameter core chocolate ball to shape a globe, which warns the global warming to be melting down over the temperature of 40-degree Celsius.
Musical Road
This is a creative way of generating a 'melody' by simply driving your car over a grooved stretch of road at the correct speed.
The 'melody road', can be seen above and the grooves are between 6 and 12mm apart: the narrower the interval, the higher the pitch. These stretches of road, each playing a different tune, can currently be found in 3 places in Japan - Hokkaido, Wakayama and Gunma - with the optimum musical speed being a depressingly slow 28mph.

Sony Commercial + It's Making

The Making:
The way it was made is a lot more time consuming etc. then I thought it would be!

Sand Art
Ilana Yahav is a sand animation artist. Using only her fingers, Ilana draws with sand on a glass table. She uses this original technique in the creation of advertisements and image building clips.
Eco Graffiti
Eco-minded street artist Edina Tokodi is putting a new spin on green guerilla tactics in the trendy art enclave of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tokodi’s site-specific moss installations of prancing animal figures and camouflage outgrowths are the talk of a local urban neighborhood typically accustomed to gallery hype and commercial real estate take-overs. Unlike the market-driven art featured in sterile, white box galleries, the work of Tokodi is meant to be touched, felt, and in turn touch you in the playful ways that her animated installations call to mind a more familiar, environmentally friendly state in the barren patches of urban existence.
