1. The Facet Eye (2006) by Daniel Segerberg

From Artist’s Statement:
A construction out of old windows.The inside of the windows is covered with roofing-felt with hundreds of small holes from which light comes through. Each hole is an upside down projection of the outside surrounding. The many small projections are caught by thin fine-meshed textile stretched on frames along the inside walls; a facet eyed camera obscura or like hundreds of “real-time-videos”. Outside, the darkened windows gives a clear reflection of the surrounding, but the different angels of each window distort the image.

2. Industrial Archeology by Jeffrey Milstein

Read an interview today with photographer Jeffrey Milstein in CR blog and came across this ongoing photo project by Jeffrey Milstein exploring the declining industrial areas along the Hudson. His photographs capture the physical deterioriation and economic downslide of these once prosperous manufacturing sites. They also touch upon the concept of failure as discussed in the Informal Architectures exhibition.
