Patrick Blanc: Vertical Gardens by Letizia Rossi
French artist and botanist Patrick Blanc's Vertical Gardens are living installations. The lush wall plantings, which are often several stories tall, require no soil and come equipped with a self-sufficient watering system. You can see Blanc's work at the Pershing Hall Hotel and Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, the Marithé and François Girbaud store in New York and the Hotel Byblos in Saint Tropez, among other places.

Crash Bonsai
Like a cross between a grown-up dollhouse and sculptor Jonathan Schipper's "Car Crash," Boston-based artist John Rooney's Crash Bonsai doses the Zen art of Bonsai with a little violence. Pick up one of Rooney's custom melted and smashed cars to add humor to your houseplants or to enact aggression on other household objects—like computers, telephones and ugly sofas. The cars range from damaged Alfa...

Personal Data Forest
This image is a representation of all the data right here on Cool Hunting, created using Texone's Tree Applet. You point the applet to a web address and it translates the syntactic structure of the site to a tree visualization. It also creates a Midi file so you can hear a representation of the site. While this may be more fun than useful, there's...

The Gates
7500 steel gates with nylon flags, 16 feet tall, 23 miles long, 26 years in the making, $20 million, on view for 16 days. My first glimpse of The Gates, Jeanne-Claude and Christo's Central Park installation that opened today in New York was from the top of an apartment building on the South-East side of the park. The orange flags looked like dominoes lining...

Vintage Vandals
The Wurst Gallery has an new online exhibition called Vintage Vandals. They asked artists to find a framed piece of artwork at their local thrift shop and turn it into something of their own. It's an interesting mix of work. The piece displayed here is loosely titled "hug more trees" and was created by Andy Sargent. via Wooster Collective...

Hank and Matlok
Unconventional in every sense of the word, Melbourne duo Hank and Matlok are causing a stir down under with cutting-edge art, quirky prints and intelligent fashion. CH caught up with the duo during their recent exhibition at Robio to talk about art, beer and fashion. (Click images for detail.) What's with the name? Hank: Blame our parents. That's what we normally do. Matlok: Yeah,...

A Paper Tiger
A Paper Tiger is a new venture that launched in January of this year selling exclusive prints by some favorite artists such as Jack Long (pictured). Usually so-called printmaking and distributor sites are unimpressive, but these guys really seem to know what they're doing. With artists like Ken Garduno, Haubs, Tesslar Lo, Jeana Song and many more, A Paper Tiger is releasing extremely limited...
