Born in Bern, Switzerland, self described ‘auto-dictact’ Zimoun creates sound sculptures and installations using repetitive mechanical movements to create a bigger aural and visual whole– or, conversely, by breaking up a large function into tiny, quantifiable mechanized parts. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to check out this video of his work, or click the images below.
Also out of Switzerland is another sound artist: Pe Lang – who often collaborates with Zimoun. His work also focuses on mechanized movement, and his ‘Moving Objects’ pieces are simply amazing.

This project came to my attention today- probably a bit late. But how absolutely beautiful: Artist ESPO paints giant love letter murals all around Philly in a grand project called “Love Letter”.
Here are some of my favorites (you can check out the rest right here: http://www.aloveletterforyou.com/?page_id=198)
From the site:
“Love Letter is literally a love letter painted on the walls facing the Market elevated train. 40 local and international artists will paint the walls in august and the letter will be on view for one and all starting as early as Labor Day.
Love Letter is a project by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and is sponsored by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative. Generous support provided by the Brownstein Group and Septa.”
