Chinese artist Liu Bolin creates a sort of urban camouflage by painting people to blend in with their surroundings.
There will be a steady stream of creativity on 14th Street in New York City for the entire month of October as Art in Odd Places presents Pedestrian:
In October 2008, the fourth annual AiOP will present Pedestrian on 14th Street, Manhattan - the great divider between uptown/downtown and highbrow/lowbrow. From the East River to the Hudson River, artists of all mediums will encourage the masses of daily pedestrians to rediscover this corridor of diverse commerce, including Union Square, historical site of social and political activism. Projects will explore connections between public spaces, pedestrian traffic, and ephemeral transient disruptions. Like a scavenger hunt, New Yorkers will use a map to discover art in unexpected places along this amazing street.
Check out the AiOP website for photos and descriptions of all the projects planned, including Yvette Helin’s “Pedestrian Project” pictured above.

I just made them more comfy!
I call it a “Seating Cap”!
This is a little mean-spirited for our tastes, but it’s pretty damn funny to watch. Pranksters install a train horn in their car and scare the hell out of pedestrians.
The Wall Street Journal put together this profile of SFZero.
SFZero is a Collaborative Production Game. Players build characters by completing tasks for their groups and increasing their Score. The goals of play include meeting new people, exploring the city, and participating in non-consumer leisure activities.
Cool project and a nice video, but we’re not sure why the WSJ scored the video with such annoying music.
As part of Bruno Taylor’s series “Playful Spaces,” he installed a swing at a London bust stop.
art director willi dorner and photographer lisa rastl have collaborated on two project combining humans in odd formations and unusual locations. ‘hängende gärten’ and ‘bodies in urban spaces’ both set out to explore the “relationship between body, space and architecture”. the urban based series was created as a set of human sculptures which were spread throughout the city of vienna. the artist has effectively transformed the human body into form, a complete reversal from the classical convention of creating the human form from a material.
