dreamscape

when walking inside swiss artistist urs fischer's nomadic art tent, viewers are immediately immersed in a glittering dreamscape. a vaporous, cloud-like smoke hazily hangs in the air, saturating the intimate space in a celestial aura. a large, plush white bed set in the middle of the structure beckons participants to lie, nap, and daydream in the misty ambiance. ceiling-high mirrors canvas the walls, reflecting glistening fragments from a rotating disco ball above. the hypnotizing, mystical atmosphere feels like a frosted kaleidoscope, with shadows and luminous refractions from both people moving inside, as well as interior details, creating mesmerizing visuals. fischer's traveling art sculpture is part ofdoug aitken's 'station to station'-- a collaborative cultural project currently journeying the united states by train, making creative ‘pit-stops’ in various cities along the way. the structure plays host to musical performances, events, and acted as a serene hideaway for idle visitors of the creative happening.

Suicide Spot Celebrates its 75th Anniversary

Thousands of people flocked to San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge on Sunday for a spectacular celebration of the famous landmark's 75th birthday. But a less cheery presence at the festivities was this display of 1,558 shoes representing those who have killed themselves by jumping off the bridge into the San Francisco Bay. The moving installation was the work of the Bridge Rail Foundation, an organisation dedicated to stopping suicide jumps from the bridge. 'It's a symbol of how deep and serious this problem has been,' said spokesman Paul Muller. 'We're still losing 30 to 35 a people a year off the bridge.'  04 more images after the break...

Pedal power

For well over a hundred years, people have hopped on bicycles for transportation, recreation, competition, and more. In many parts of the world, spinning pedals moves goods and generates electricity. While usually attached to two wheels, pedal power takes many forms, adapting to a wide range of needs. Globally, over 100 million bicycles are produced every year - over 60% of them in China - easily doubling world production of automobiles. Efficient, clean, and cheap, pedal power in all its forms can solve modern problems with basic technology, and offers a health benefit to those cranking away. And it's hard to beat the simple joy of riding a bike. Gathered here are images of people around the world as we pedal for a reason, or just because. -- Lane Turner (49 photos total)

1. WonderWorks, Pigeon Forge, TN, USA

This upside down attraction is a treat for the mind. Here everything is upside down. When you enter this building everything will be upside down so to have fun you’ll have to be inverted. You’ll have to step into an upside-down tunnel where you’ll be turned upside down. The WonderWorks started off a top secret laboratory where professor Wonder was creating man-made tornado. Something went wrong and the laboratory was blown away by the powerful tornado. It ripped the laboratory from its foundation but somehow all the experiments inside managed to remain intact. At least this is how the story of the WonderWorks goes.
