Shannon Rankin works primarily with collage and embroidery; in these works she creates art by deconstructing paper maps, cutting, rearranging and recombining them to create new geographies.
You can see more of her work on Flickr.

I love these imaginative blown glass architectural models, by UK design studio El Ultimo Grito; certainly a different way of presenting your ideas for the form and space of a building. They're currently on show at the Aram Gallery, London.

Tomás Saraceno produces work which blurs the boundaries between conceptual art, architecture and structural engineering. Many of his pieces explore complex networks and the relationships between spaces.
His latest work, 14 Billions, is a giant (and accurate) model of a Black widow spider's web; created with the help of spider experts and astrophysicists, the piece probes the similarities between the structure of the web and that of our universe.
Some more work is viewable at the Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, ArtNet and DesignBoom.

Wired Magazine takes a look back at the dot-com boom and bust, 10 years on. Love the art direction: true '90s web style.

Lots of great ideas on display at the Brit Insurance Designs of the Year 2010, including a product design award nomination for Min-Kyu Choi’s folding plug.
