Chris Milk has created an interactive video, The Wilderness Downtown, that uses Google Maps technology to coordinate the video with where you live.

Laura Belém's installation for Liverpool's 2010 Biennial, entitled 'The Temple of a Thousand Bells' is located inside the Oratory beside Liverpool Cathedral in St. James Cemetery.

The installation is the work of Chinese artist Song Dong, in which he exposes the contents of his mother's home acquired over 50 years, "during which the concept of wu jin qi yong, or “waste not,” was a prerequisite for survival.” Waste Not” is Dong’s first solo museum show in the U.S.

Beaver Street Reprise home in San Francisco consisting of 4-stories all devoted to an element of living: park-live-work-play. Why didn't I think of that?
Okay, I'll be completely honest, I don't know a thing about cars other then what I think looks cool and what's comfortable. And this looks cool and comfortable and way out of my league. So if there are any car junkies reading this, here is a once in a lifetime treat from me, enjoy!
