Mountain Day or ‘Yama-no-Hi’ is celebrated in Japan on August 11. Over 73% of Japan’s terrain is mountainous which makes this relatively new holiday very befitting. Mountain day is a day to honor and give thanks to the blessings of the mountains. The people of Japan celebrate the day by going to the mountains to hike and take advantage of the mountain air. Appreciation for nature is reflective of Shintoism, the dominant religious practice in Japan.

Iris van Herpen's latest collection 'Earthrise' is a fantastical perspective on the evolution of the human species. Her designs are constructed of recycled materials which are lasercut to resemble coral reef and microbial structures in the form of a delicate lace-like garment. @irisvanherpen

When visiting a Peter Kogler exhibition, you might think you made a wrong turn into a hall of mirrors. It’s actually his art, like this installation at Dirim Art Gallery in Istanbul in 2011.⁠
⁠
What M.C. Escher did with his illusionistic drawings, Kogler does on walls, floors, and ceilings. For more than 30 years, the Austrian artist has been transforming subways, art museums, and lobbies using computer-generated optical illusions. Kogler also uses projections and silkscreens that morph solid structures into abstract, sinuous surfaces.⁠

One of China’s most prolific contemporary artists Zeng Fanzhi @zfz_studio has created a series of striking paintings especially for the Van Gogh Museum, putting his unique twist on one of the art world's most recognizable figures by recreating Van Gogh's self-portraits. ⁠
⁠
The paintings feature his signature brushwork and palette -- that revolved around elements from Renaissance masters such as Dürer and Da Vinci, with a distinctly Abstract Expressionist dynamism. ⁠

Milan-based designer and architect Vincenzo De Cotiis @vdecotiis creates sculptural spaces that evoke physical and intellectual experiences, on the cusp of art and architecture with no boundaries. In the master bath of De Cotiis’s own 18th-century villa in Pietrasanta, Italy, a massive mirror of silvered brass hangs over a sink of cipollino apuano marble, which is used throughout the house. Research, abstraction and nature guide both his interior architecture interventions, art and collectible design pieces.⁠

99 7

“I decided to start anew,” artist Georgia O’Keeffe wrote to a friend in 1915, “to strip away what I had been taught—to accept as true my own thinking.” ⁠
⁠
These words from O’Keeffe encapsulate her desires to transition from the naturalistic mode of representation she had been educated in, towards the extreme close-up abstractions in her paintings that she would become known for. ⁠
⁠
This transition towards a new style is clear in her painting "Abstraction Blue" (1927), in which undulating swirls and curves of blue tones emanating from the lower half of the canvas, bisected by a lighter crevice of paint that cuts the canvas vertically. The painting is permanently on view at the Museum of Modern Art, NYC in their fifth floor Geffen Wing. ⁠

Sweeping calcium carbonate cliffs in Puerto Rio Tranquilo, a small Patagonian town sitting on General Carrera Lake in the Aysen Region of Chile, have earned the name Capillas de Mármol or the Marble Chapels for their natural majesty.⁠
Over centuries, the waters have sculpted a highly unusual & beautiful cave system. Composed of three main limestone formations, they stand out for the beauty of their columns and the intense blue of the waters that protect them.⁠

The minute structures of ice are beautifully delicate yet strong ❄️ Polar ice caps are dome-shaped sheets of ice found near the North and South Poles. Not only are they a stunning natural phenomena, polar ice caps also contain the majority of Earth's supply of freshwater. In fact, scientists estimate that 70 percent of Earth's freshwater supply remains in an ice sheet at the South Pole.⁠

Swedish artist Markus Åkesson @markusakessonvisual enshrouds his subjects in elaborately patterned silks and satins, leaving only the impression of their features visible. An extension of his ongoing "Now You See Me" series, the artist’s latest paintings continue his exploration of repetition and the unsettling feelings evoked by being wrapped in fabric, obscuring the features. What is beautiful, and yet eerie, about these compositions? By completely covering his models, they “became a secret. Instead, I started to tell a story within the pattern itself, like a sub-narrative in the painting,” Åkesson describes.⁠

A radical new architectural project may transform Manhattan's skyline forever: Istanbul-based architecture firm Hayri Atak Architectural Design Studio has envisioned "Sarcostyle," a 210 meters skyscraper concept in Manhattan, New York. Its design utilizes a fully-glass exterior to reflect the surrounding buildings and East River, and a bubble-like cubic design with several winding forms inside that create purposeful voids. The name "Sarcostyle" means "one of many contractile filaments that make up a striated muscle fiber." And much like its anatomical inspiration, the amorphous structure gives more of a sense of movement compared to its more traditional boxy neighbors.⁠

The project utilizes Google AI’s cutting-edge quantum supremacy research data and NVIDIA’s GAN algorithms to explore the possibility of a parallel world by processing approximately 200 million photographs of nature through the lens of artificial intelligence. The monumental, specular 3D Data Sculpture piece, displayed on an enormous 10 m x 10 x NEC’s media wall. The piece offers an immersive experience for the viewer, tapping into and responding to the random fluctuations of quantum noise as a realm of aesthetic possibilities.⁠

199 4

T-Centralen, the main hub of Stockholm’s subway, opened up for commuters and tourism in 1957, and was the first station in Stockholm to feature artwork. The blue line-platform, quite literally “the blue platform” was designed by artist Per Olof Ultvedt. Local art guide Marie Andersson theorizes that Per Olof Ultvedt not only chose the blue shades based on their aesthetic values but also their relaxing effect.⁠
⁠
"I think Per Olof Ultvedt wanted to create a calming atmosphere because this is a station where people are in a hurry. They are changing trains to another metro line or another commuter train. So I think that his idea was that the blue color together with the simple motifs – stylized flowers and leaf creepers – gives passengers pause and a chance to clear their mind."⁠
