Francesco Tacchini has created an eerie, fascinating, floating globe that records and plays back the ambient sound in an environment.

I am crowning Myriam Dion as the reigning goddess of the xacto knife! She takes newspapers, one of the most disposable and forgotten of objects, and turns them into lace.

I use exhibits deliberately, because her sculptures evoke butterfly collections or museum displays due to their meticulous construction.
