<p></p>
<p><a href="http://candychang.com" target="_blank">Candy</a> was commissioned to create public art for Finland’s <a href="http://www.turku2011.fi/en" target="_blank">2011 European Capital of Culture</a> events. For this project, a pedestrian/bike path nicknamed Uraputki or “<a href="http://candychang.com/career-path/" target="_blank">Career Path</a>”, because it is a popular route that students take from their residences to the university, to get a degree to get a job. This path was turned into an interactive space with stenciled fill-in-the-blank sentences to make students reflect on their life choices as far as careers are concerned.</p>
<p></p>
<blockquote><p><em>For example, sentences stenciled on the pavement say “When I was little I wanted to be ____. Today I want to be ____.” in Finnish, Swedish, and English. Passersby can use colored chalk to write directly on the pavement and reflect upon their larger life choices. Sun and rain erase the responses and the installation starts again. The project is created with temporary spray chalk and will fade with weather and foot traffic.</em></p>

<blockquote><p><em>This project is about comparing yourself today and when you were young, reflecting on how you’ve changed or stayed the same, and thinking about the desires you had as a child. What made you come alive as a kid and why? How can this help inform the decisions you make today? Some favorites: “When I was little I wanted to be a princess. Today I want to be an electrician.” “When I was little I wanted to be a bird. Today I want to be a speech therapist.” “When I was little I wanted to be a grown-up. Today I want to be a kid.” The project is also about learning from the people around us and humanizing our neglected spaces. The industrial path is now a space to pause, reflect, and share with others.</em></p>

Accordingly, <b>macro photography</b> refers to extreme <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-up_photography" target="_blank">close-up photography</a>, usually of very small subjects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size (though <i>macrophotography</i> technically refers to the art of making very large photographs).

The artist came up with a gargantuan portrait of an anonymous Mesoamerican woman that spans the length of two football fields in Amsterdam and was completed through the help of 80 volunteers. His work serves also as a sign of protest against the persecution of female activists in the Mesoamerican region.

<p><span>What the artists have to say:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span><span>Starting with a bathymetric chart (the underwater equivalent of a topographic map), the contours are laser-cut into sheets of Baltic birch and glued together to create a powerful visual depth. Select layers are hand-colored blue so it's easy to discern land from water, major byways are etched into the land, the whole thing's framed in a custom, solid-wood frame and protected seamlessly with a sheet of durable, ultra-transparent Plexiglas.</span></span></p>

And the Dutch classic ‘Blue Delft’ is alluded to in digital decals scanned from hand drawn decals in blue biro.</p>

<p>There really is <em>something</em> with the moon that leaves people staring at it mesmerized and I guess artist <a href="http://leonid-tishkov.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Leonid Tishkov</a> is one of those. His visual poetic installation dubbed as <em>Private Moon </em>is <em>truly</em> spellbinding! ♥ </p>
<p></p>
<p>The artist says:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>In its unusual position within a landscape, in a stretch of open country, inside some deserted accommodation or water-cooling towers, the artificial moon sheds its light on surrounding objects and offers viewers as they arrive or occasional passers-by a chance to experience the fairytale nature of our existence.</span></p>

<p><em>Have a blessed Christmas everyone!</em> Did you know that <a href="http://waveavenue.com/profiles/blogs/trivial-picture-of-the-day-no-two-are-alike" target="_self">no two snowflakes are alike</a>? Yes, they are not though it can also be said that it is statistically possible. In<em> </em>1885, Wilson Alwyn Bentley attempted to find identical snowflakes by photographing thousands of them with a microscope that paved the way for the wide variety of snowflakes that we know about today. According to <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake">Wikipedia</a>, <em>it is very unlikely for any two snowflakes to be exactly alike due to the roughly 10<sup>19</sup> water molecules which make up a typical snowflake, which grow at different rates and in different patterns depending on the changing temperature and humidity within the atmosphere that the snowflake falls through on its way to the ground united.</em> <em> </em></p>

<p>Artist <span style="color: #000000;"><strong><a href="http://www.spazuk.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000000;">Steven Spazuk</span></a></strong></span> used to be a conventional painter when he dreamt of using soot as a painting medium. Holding a piece of paper on one hand and a lit candle on another, Steven accumulates enough soot on the back of the paper then using his hands or drybrush, smudges the soot to form an artwork.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Years later, his work has evolved into doing lifesize portraits composed of over 200 pieces of paper. These pieces can be stored in a shoebox making it easy to transport to another exhibit.</p>

<p>The artist says:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>Since the dawn of man, the egg has been associated with creation. Because they contain new life and such potential, eggs were seen as a tool of divination. Their size, shape, and contents were used to forecast the future. Christians regard the egg as a symbol of the risen Christ. Beautifully decorated Easter eggs are a common tradition throughout Christendom. The Victorians, fond of ornamentation, decorated their eggs with snippets of daily life: trade cards, ribbons, beads, and bits of old lace. </span></p>

<p></p>
<p><em>According to Salto Architects:</em></p>
<p><em>“Fast track” is a integral part of park infrastructure, it is a road and an installation at the same time. It challenges the concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects and tends to be ignorant to its surroundings. “Fast track” is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context. It gives the user a different experience of moving and perceiving the environment.</em></p>
