Sisyphus - Sand Art Tables
For almost twenty years, Bruce Shapiro has been creating CNC machine sand art installations for museums and community spaces in Switzerland, Germany, and Australia.
He calls this series Sisyphus and has now created a small scale version available to purchase for home installation as tables.
Currently he is funded for the project through Kickstarter.

Christo - "The Floating Piers"
For 16 days, “The Floating Piers,” a saffron-colored walkway, will connect two small islands in a lake in Northern Italy to the mainland.
“It’s actually very painterly, like an abstract painting, but it will change all the time,” Christo, 81, a Bulgarian-born American, said of his project.
"Getting the walkway to both gently undulate and remain securely affixed to the uneven lake bottom was a feat that has occupied engineers, construction companies, French deep-sea divers and even a team of Bulgarian athletes drafted over the past two years. The walkway is assembled from 220,000 high-density polyethylene cubes that form its 16-meter-wide (53 feet) spine, covered this week with a waterproof and stain-resistant fabric made by a German company for the project."
