A project powered by two great women; Anita and Ása from Iceland.
About The Flying Effect implementation:
''-Give women the opportunity to communicate to the world; through words, photographs, videos, drawings or anything their views on freedom, ideas and dreams. The outcome of which we then present as an exhibition.
-Create a travelling, ever-growing presentation of the project in progress, which we set up in each of our destinations.
-Maintain a website open for all women to present their own definitions of ‘freedom’.''
''The project is carried out in collaboration with UNIFEM in Iceland with the aim of increasing public awareness on the issues of women in developing countries and conflict areas.''

Interesting and fun :)
'''Chris O'Shea, an artist with latent fantasies about growing into a giant and teasing, then destroying, the people of Liverpool, England, has a new installation! It's a live video billboard that teases, then destroys, the people of Liverpool, England.
The piece, titled "Hand from Above," is best explained in video, but in any case it's fairly simple: a live camera feed from in front of the billboard is overlaid with a giant finger, which has its way, such as it does, with rapt viewers. The tickling and teasing soon gets more severe, and before you know it, said finger is throwing you off of the pavement, or shrinking you into nothingness.
The effect is playful and charming for adults, though it may cause minor metaphysical crises in small children and pets. For art!'''

Expandable furniture
Marina Ralph has presented Stuff, the self-modeling cabinet at London Design Festival 2009. Made of sycamore, plywood and latex sides, this cabinet modifies its shape with each new item you place inside it. Not only would it be really fun to use, but the storage space is considerably larger than the average similar pieces of furniture.
