Ingrid sent her art my way (she made this piece for her boyfriend’s birthday — sweet!), and I can’t help but feeling like it belongs in a boy’s nursery. I’d totally lie to my kid and tell him the astronaut is the sleep police and he’ll be in serious trouble if he doesn’t catch a few winks. Art in action, no?

p.s. I don’t know what a topographical LIDAR is (does?), but I rather like the result.

OK so yes, this looks like little more than a spherical thing of wonder, but it’s actually much more. Engraved while listening to the “Anthology of American Folk Music,” these plates can be played on a turntable to create noise music.

Which is pretty much the coolest thing I’ve heard today. Go, art!

I’m still preaching spheres, globes and circles. They’re the next big thing; totally not joking here.
