American Artist has selected an abandoned Cabin in the deserts of California

American artist Phillip K Smith has selected an abandoned desert shack in Joshua Tree National Forest, in the deserts of California, and transformed it into a fabulous optical illusion art called "Lucid Stead." The Phillip Smith took the cabin that has been gradually rotting in the harsh desert environments for seventy years, inserted mirrors between aged wood slats and created an illusion that you can see right through the building. Smith is excited and said; "Lucid Stead” is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert. When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project starts to unfold before you. It discloses that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change." The windows & door of the building are also fitted with color changing LEDs which after dark, change into brightly colored rectangles illuminating the desert landscape. In the day light the desert scenery is reflected upon the mirrors making the cabin barely visible. "The color of the door and window openings are set at a pace of variation where one might question whether they are really varying colors. One might see blue, red, and yellow and continue to see those colors. But looking down and walking 10 feet to a fresh location reveals that the windows are now orange, purple and green.

Spectacular Rainbow Spectrums Mirrored throughout Palacio de Cristal

You’d imagine a vivid spectrum of multicolor would bask in while walking via a cathedral full of rainbows. A Spanish woman is Kimsooja’s 2006 site specific installation for the Palacio de Cristal in Madrid Spain. To Breather to expand and unite the architectural structure of the space, the woman had the whole floor tiled in mirrors. Then she covers the vault and complete glass surface of the palace with a translucent diffraction film. When outside light filters via glass and reflects off the film, it generates a rainbow spectrum that is mirrored in every part of the atrium. This lovely installation is also a part of great performance which plays recording of her breathing from an earlier piece entitled “The Weaving Factory”. The mind-blowing progresses and transitions in and out of multi colors tones and rhythms, subtly moving visitors via many emotional states and making the installation an experience beyond the visual. Indeed this is lovely effort. 

Puzzling Optical Illusion of a Hovering Tree Cut in Half

Art director Mario Schuster and Graphic designer have taken a solitary tree in Potsdam, Germany. They transformed it into a split, hovering trunk with nothing more than some paint and tin foil. To form the illusion, Siering and Shu wrapped a section of the tree in foil and proceeded to spray paint it in the likeness of the surrounding environment. From the precise angle, the tree appearances as though it is floating in mid-air. The talented artistic twosome, who transpire to be co-workers at ART-EFX (a company focused on crafting innovative commercial art and classical landscapes), have teamed up on this fun, personal project and gained a plentiful deal of attention from it already. However there's little information beyond their names, the city the tree is located in, and the minimal materials used, there's also not much that needs to be said about the puzzling optical illusion. We’re sure you’d like to check out the short video, below, to see just how effective the illusion is as joggers pass by in the background.

100 Years old Unique Negatives Preserved in a block of Ice provides glimpse of Antarctica adventures

Almost 100 years back, a box of unique negatives has been preserved in a block of ice in Antarctica. In recent times, Conservators of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust came across the twenty two exposed, but unprocessed, cellulose nitrate negatives during an effort to restore an old exploration hut. It is believed that negatives were Ross Sea Party Ernest Shackleton’s 1914-1917, a group that was stranded, in the hut during a blizzard when their ship blew out to a sea, but eventually they were rescued, but their box remained buried until now. These negatives are carefully processed in order to expose the historic mysteries on each frame. Although somewhat damaged, but these can be really called unique negatives which provides a rare glimpse of 100 years back adventures tour. AHT Executive Director Nigel Watson says, it is the first example that I am aware of, of undeveloped negatives from a century ago from the Antarctic heroic era. There’s a paucity of images from that expedition.

Although fairly minimalistic in style, the compact house has all the comforts of a traditional one. The living space has a multitude of windows that offers light to every part of the home without sacrificing personal privacy.

For those who are searching for a exceptional and fashionable getaway that does not skimp on the view, the house is now available to rent year round.
