Sound Architectures by Zimoun
Using simple and functional components, Zimoun builds architecturally-minded platforms of sound. Exploring mechanical rhythm and flow in prepared systems, his installations incorporate commonplace industrial objects. In an obsessive display of simple and functional materials, these works articulate a tension between the orderly patterns of Modernism and the chaotic forces of life. Carrying an emotional depth, the acoustic hum of natural phenomena in Zimoun’s minimalist constructions effortlessly reverberates.

Magic Carpet by Daniel Wurtzel
Wurtzel is more of a magician than an artists. His art is about “transform(ing) ordinary matter into something extraordinary,” as per the personal statement on his website says. His most famous pieces propell aerodynamic materials such as lightweight fabric, flower petals, and Styrofoam using fans and other air devises. In his work Magic Carpet (2011) a red fabric seems to magically float in the center of the room. The cloth is actually held in place by air currents created by eight fans. Music from the film ‘American Beauty – Plastic Bag Theme’ (See Plastic Bag Scene)
