UK Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010
by Thomas Heatherwick
Called Seed Cathedral, the wooden structure is pierced by 60,000 fibre-optic rods that each contain plant seeds at their tips. These rods will draw light into the pavilion during the day and direct it outwards at night. After the expo the rods and seeds will be distributed to schools in China and the UK. dezeen

Nina Maria Kleivan, Danish-Norwegian artist, dressed her baby daughter up as various ruthless dictators for a photo series aimed at illustating how “[w]e all begin life the same. We all have every opportunity ahead of us. To do good, or inexplicable evil.” via

Caravaggio, on the other hand, exemplifies the modern antihero, a hyperrealist whose art is instantly accessible. His doe-eyed, tousle-haired boys with puffy lips and bubble buttocks look as if they’ve just tumbled out of bed, not descended from heaven. Coarse not godly, locked into dark, ambiguous spaces by a strict geometry then picked out of deep shadow by an oracular light, his models come straight off the street. Cupid is clearly a hired urchin on whom Caravaggio strapped a pair of fake wings. The angel in his “Annunciation” dangles like Chaplin’s tramp on the high wire in “The Circus,” from what must have been a rope contraption Caravaggio devised.
