Our study demonstrates that volatility was a key source of his creativity. We find consistent evidence in the letters that Van Gogh increasingly oscillated between opposite emotional states, such as joy and sadness or between aspirations for belonging and for isolation.
'When I go to bed, I go to work.' Starck describes dreaming as an active method in his design process, where sleep becomes a space for production and innovation.
In 1962, the architect Buckminster Fuller envisioned a floating city that would free humanity from its dependence on the Earth. The speculative project consisted of enormous geodesic spheres that would naturally levitate in air warmed by the sun and be anchored to mountaintops.
'Give them a smile, you know, something that can also be a deeper level of understanding,' Sara Ricciardi tells designboom, framing the installation as an immediate emotional trigger before it unfolds into something more layered.
"Nearly every sample arrives with a letter, opening a dialogue shaped by place, mood, memory, and time. Over the years, I've built an archive of waters from rain, rivers, seas, oceans, and glaciers, each preserved as both material record and human message."
Grosse's technique of applying acrylic pigments with an industrial spray gun extends the reach of the body, registering the act of painting as movement that unfolds across space.
My drawing practice revolves around capturing quiet, ephemeral moments found in films, music videos, and internet culture. By creating these small sequential panels, I seek to stretch these moments to their limit, aiming to slow time down and reveal a soft, meditative beauty within the digital ephemeral.
From Do Ho Suh's ethereal architecture to Kimsooja's irridescent mirrors to Lauren Halsey's fringed tapestry, a new book from Monacelli celebrates a broad spectrum of light and color. Rainbow Dreams features more than 200 installations, sculptures, paintings, photographs, and more that revel in the possibilities of pigment. Bound in a smooth gradient that extends to the pages' edges, this vivid survey is a celebratory, playful object in itself.
Sand Art is a game by Kory Jordan and published by 25th Century Games for two to four players ages 10 and up.

"Me and my girlfriend went on color hunting in Berlin this weekend," user Erikas Mališauskas shared on X. "We picked two random colors and had to make a 3×3 photo grid featuring that color. I got yellow, she got blue, here's the result." Commenters rallied together in agreement, saying how good of an idea this is.
There's a particular kind of panic that hits when you're facing a creative problem, and the well just feels... empty. Every idea seems stale. Every solution feels recycled. And the question creeps in: Have I finally used up all my good ideas? Maybe it's your third attempt at solving the same design problem, and every solution feels like a pale echo of something you've already tried. Or perhaps you've been churning out work for months, and suddenly the spark you used to rely on? Gone.
Originally from Dallas and now based in New York City, I approach photography as an exercise in atmosphere, trust, and control. Trained in the discipline of film and later in fashion photography, I work with both natural and artificial light to construct images that feel cinematic and psychologically charged. Moving fluidly between studio and location, I transform spaces into environments that heighten mood and presence.
In his graphic design work, Aldon transforms periodic tables and dense masses of information into maximalist pieces of design, expressing information whilst also challenging the impossibility of taking it all in. Data sprawls across screens and pages, overlapping in overloads and feedback loops, communicating more the aesthetic of information rather than its substance, playing with images we have all seen in science classes or colour palettes. These are exploded infographics.
Considering how this experience could be expressed artistically, he conceived "Domestic Light," which for two years used windowsill sensors in nearly 100 sites globally to record what he describes as "multispectral traces of home."

Last fall, I bought a ton of marble scraps off a sculptor in Woodstock for like, $10 off Facebook. For sandwiches and cakes, crumbling asphalt parking lots are good. When I lived in Sunset Park, they demolished a building a couple blocks from my apartment, and there was a hole in the fence, so I'd go in there and find tons of cool shapes and textures of rubble.
