Photographer Dillon Marsh’s Invasive Species – the wonderful art of tree cellphone towers: »In 1996 a palm tree appeared almost overnight in a suburb of Cape Town. This was supposedly the world’s first ever disguised cell phone tower. Since then these trees have spread across the city, South Africa and the rest of the world. „Invasive Species“ explores the relationship between the environment and the disguised towers of Cape Town and its surrounds.«

This floating egg lying on a small river flowing south through the New Forest in the county of Hampshire is a self-sustaining, energy efficient workspace where British artist Stephen Turner lives for a full year. »The Exbury Egg«, which was launched towards the end of last month, will be Turner’s laboratory, as he studies and looks for inspiration in the rise and fall of the waters, in an attempt to better understand our environment. The design was inspired by the nesting seabirds on the shore. The interior is a simple space with a hammock, a small stove, a desk and a wet room. Take a tour inside the cabin.

Florian Rivière describes himself not without reason as a »urban hacker«. His interventions are exclusively made by objects he found in the street. Reprogramming the city implies for him playing with the waste material lying around unattended, building and staging cheeky interventions that subvert the norm with bursts of spontaneity and humor.
