    Net staircase makes getting upstairs more fun
    Moving between the levels of a building is not something people tend to think of as anything other than perfunctory. We rarely think, for example, about whether our going upstairs or downstairs is adequately fun. A new installation at the OK Center for Contemporary Art however, does just that.
  • String is an artwork by Numen

    Artwork lets users climb around huge cube of ropes
    Cultured arachnid fans are in for a treat with a new artwork from Vienna-based collective Numen. String is a 3D grid of ropes suspended within a huge inflated cube. Users can enter the exhibit and clamber their way around its intricate mesh in a blank and disorientating environment.
