to most, the dissection of a human cadaver may seem downright vile–an unnatural activity or an off-putting endeavor. however, to an anatomical dissector who also happens to be an innate artist and visionary, the human body and its attributes are flawless and paramount. these works, conceived by dr. frank scali (www.drfrankscali.com), propose and demonstrate what the inner workings of some infamous humans would look like. art, science, pop culture and history–an unspeakably succinct and powerful union indeed. by jr + sv

Demain est un Autre Jour – par Mathieu Lehanneur
mathieu lehanneur‘s tomorrow is another day (demain est un autre jour), is a sculpture created by gathering real time weather information from the internet, and summarizing it visually. originally intended for a hospital palliative care, the device eludes the course of time by offering everyone the opportunity to see tomorrow’s sky. the luminous, atmospheric and impressionist image of this sky is diffused through the network of a honeycomb structure, appearing both like a sculpture and a celestial globe. mathieu is an artist and designer, and you can see more if his work here. by kl
