In the world of creativity, if you're not starting a fire, then what's the point? So, we've created a portal to celebrate the most revolutionary and thought-provoking ideas we're seeing in the world today. Some are ideas we've recognized from others and we're tipping our hats to, and others are ones we thought of (go figure). Either way you cut it, you won't find a dull moment here, and hopefully we've inspired you to start your own fire.
Created by Russian artist, Anatoly Vyatkin, this installation features a giant replica of a Cryllic QWERTY keyboard. The sculpture is made out of 86 stones that weigh up to 1,000 pounds and is a permanent outdoor installation in Yekaterinburg, Russia. The purpose of the sculpture was to incorporate technology into a landscape, and to invite visitors to interact with it, even though it has no other real function.
