Do Ho Suh: Floor
For this installation, Korean artist Do Ho Suh uses thousands of plastic figurines to hold up a glass plate that is able to support the weight of those who walk across it.
Today is a special day! We’re doing our first (and probably only) in-depth feature on Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights. Though not particularly baby-related, this triptych is almost certainly the most WTF-worthy, balls-trippingly weird piece of art to come out of the Renaissance era. We’ve collected a few detail shots to illustrate just how fucking bizarre this piece is. Captions can do this masterpiece no justice, so we’ll just leave the images to speak for themselves. Buttflowers.

Forest Blending Acrylic Glass Statues
Imagine walking through a forest and seeing just a glimpse of these invisible figures! They’re the creative work of artist Rob Mulholland, who makes these sculptures out of mirrored Perspex (or acrylic glass). It has been called the Predator effect after the 1987 film where an alien life form seamlessly blends into its background. Mulholland has previously installed these chameleon-like figures in the woods around Alloa, Loch Ard and the David Marshall Lodge in Scotland.
Mulholland told BBC Scotland that the key to the effect was creating a distorted reflection. “It alters reality, one moment you see them and the next moment they blend in. There’s an ambiguity to it - it doesn’t answer all the questions.”
