You can find this sculpture by the Tröndlinring in Leipzig, it has increasingly been the victim of shoefiti. This picture is a year old, so it looks quite different nowadays.

If anyone knows who this sculpture is by, let us know!

‘Latimeria’ (2004) by Pablo Wendel

The fishhook is tied to the helium balloon with a string. To ensure that it does not fly away, it is fastened just below the water surface with a knot to an anchor rope. The special knot (a so-called robber‘s knot) unties itself as soon as a fish bites into the hook, causing the balloon to rise to approx. 32,000 metres hight.

The room shown in the movie is one out of four rooms for the installation ‘untitled’ (2011). Savic-Gecan made this installation for the Witte de With, Rotterdam (NL) exhibition Melanchotopia. The text on the wall explains: “Every change in temperature in the city of Rotterdam causes one of the spaces in Witte de With to open and close.”

‘The Most Boring Places in the World’ (2009) by Angie Waller

“The Most Boring Places in the World” is a Google Earth tour that pinpoints the location of bloggers, live journal-ers, and chat room commentators. These authors all claim that the city they live in or vacationed in is more boring than any other place they can imagine, at least during the time of their post.
