1) Visualising the tangled Syrian conflict to seek a resolution
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-03/22/visualising-the-syrian-conflict
A political analyst and ecological network scientist have
created a visual map of the Syrian conflict, the players involved
and their various agendas. The creators hope the platform can, as
more experts from across the Middle East contribute, help policy
makers, analysts and diplomats find a solution.
"At the moment we're just trying to present a simplified and
coherent visual narrative so the general reader can understand --
and keep coming back as it's refreshed -- to have an ongoing
picture of what the conflict looks like and how it's developing,"
Scott Field, Middle East manager at the Skoll Global Threats
Fund, told Wired.co.uk. "The aspiration is it may develop into
something that would help regional diplomats, people actually
involved in the conflict itself, to have new insights and know how
to solve some of the regional problems and conflicts
themselves."

2) Laser Cat curates artworks, projects them in beams from his eyes

Do you like cats? Do you like lasers? Then you will like Laser
Cat, a giant inflatable feline that shoots projections of artworks
out his eyes like laser beams.
Laser Cat is the brainchild of Dave Glass and Kill Cooper, who
together form Hungry Castle, a creative studio that develops public
artworks under the mantra "we make cool shit". And they really
do.
You might remember them from such previous works as Lionel
Ritchie's Head, a giant model of the crooner's cranium that has
been toured around music festivals. People brave enough to go
inside Ritchie's head discover a telephone. If they pick up the
receiver, they hear 'Hello, is it me you're looking for?' Yes,
Lionel, it is.
