The urban river was created by Henk Hofstra in Drachten, The Netherlands and shows how mind blowing public art can be. The blue road installation features about 1000 metres of road painted blue and the phrase ‘Water is Life’ written in an eight metre high letters across it. This project took 4000 litres of paint and costed 75,000 Euros.

Raytheon and Sarcos' robotics have built an exo-skeleton that gives soldiers super strength and endurance. It will be interesting to see if this actually goes anywhere.

Engineers at Cornell University have designed this odd-looking machine that can rebuild itself and also could perform repairs on itself.

Using LED glowsticks, flashlights, even fireworks, combined with time-lapse photography, light graffiti artists create a unique tagging that wraps around objects dimensionally, allowing them to tag in a way they'd never be able to with spraypaint.

Really cool video of artists in Japan (I think) painting and repainting a mural over the course of a week.

Here is a really cool video brought to you my Pass It On, a collaborative video project were different motion graphics houses and animators create scenes for a singular movie with a singular theme. Its really cool to see how each artist interprets the project.
