Chicago based designer Matthew Hoffman started distributing stickers with the phrase ‘you are beautiful’ about 10 years ago, who knew it would take off so well and inspire all these charming installations and public art works. Hats off to you Matthew Hoffman and your simple and satisfying message to the world.

The anonymous artist group ‘Luzinterruptus’ is back again, this time in Caracas, Venezuela for the urban festival ‘In the Middle of the Street’ that pays tribute to the coexistence of public spaces.   

This piece entitled ‘Portable River’ consisted of 2,000 transparent illuminated bags that housed miniature aquariums. For one night only viewers could come gaze at these tightly packaged ecosystems and were encouraged to carry them home at the end of the night. It was meant to open up the dialogue about the precious element of water itself and the urgent topic of privatization of water from big companies, especially in cities.
