Crowds can be chaotic, disorienting and strangely beautiful. The images created by Adam Magyar demonstrate this in an unique way. It looks like his overhead photography captures scenes from a busy open square, but the truth is, none of these places exist. All the images are created by layering sets of individual photos over and over until they resemble a bird’s eye view of a busy crowd. It’s interesting to notice how the slightest uniformity in the crowd’s formation suggest that it’s not real. We really enjoyed this series. Click Read More to view.

Our favorite art duo is at it again. Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann – better known as Lang Baumann – created another colorful installation. This time they invaded Moscow for the Bistro Sixteen Festival. Hosted by the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design, Lang Baumann applied their bold technique to the interior and exterior of a bar near Strelka’s campus. While it’s not as large as their previous work, it’s still executed at a very high level. We’d love to see something like this in Philadelphia or New York. Click Read More for a closer look. Also, please note that today (Sept 1) is the last day for the interior installation, but the street part should remain for a little while longer.
