Built using hundreds of strategically placed LED lights suspended from threads hanging from the ceiling, the “Man With No Shadow” is a life-sized dude designed by Makoto Tojiki.

Alex Beim must be a heavy drinker, ’cause I have no idea how he got so many empty bottles for his project. The LED Bottle Wall is a sight that seems appropriate for a Disney World attraction. Slews of LED lights penetrate the reflective surface of the bottles, creating an luminary effect that’s unmatched by Pink Floyd. Link

Now I know what Michael Jackson was finally talking about when he uttered the lyrics “Somebody’s watching me.” Clearly he was referring to the Eye Dot Me, a lamp created by Simon Schiessl and Felix Hardwood.

While I’m not a Yankees fan, one can’t deny the popularity and rich history of one of the most famous baseball teams ever.
