Takeshi Miyakawa: Candelier

Candelier', created by japanese-born, New York-based designer Takeshi Miyakawa, is a chandelier composed entirely out of wax, burning itself into nonexistence during normal use. Miyakawa conceptualized the work from his use of artist Nova Jiang's 'Creatomatic' software program. The application randomly juxtaposes images of two everyday objects, promoting free association and creativity: 'The 'Creatomatic' uses the technique of surprise to overcome habitual ways of thinking and short-circuit rational control.'

Insane Dominoes Maze

Domino Day is a world record attempt for the highest number of toppling domino stones, organized each year in the Netherlands. Unfortunately, there will be no Domino Day 2010 because of the financial crisis. Sponsors were very interested but their available sponsor budgets were not sufficient to produce the TV show this year.

Instead, enjoy this insane dominoes maze made last year to promote the ImagineRIT Innovation and Creativity Festival from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
