What to do with 24000 leds...
Cute Circuit created the Galaxy Dress, made of silk and 24,000 LEDs embroidered onto its surface, measuring just 2 by 2-millimetres each. To make the dress lighter and more flexible than your average light-enhanced couture, the designers used layers of organza crinoline and silk chiffon, and they power the dress with many small iPod batteries that are light and easily hidden. The Galaxy Dress is currently on exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago

Pak Sheung Chuen’s Breathing in a House, 2006
Hong Kong artist Pak Sheung Chuen’s installation is the outcome of his stay in an average two person flat (6.7m x 2.7m x 2.2m) in Busan, Korea. He carried on living his normal daily routine there, but in the meantime collected all of his breath in transparent plastic bags until they consumed the entire living space. The work is a performative investigation into the everyday living situation of the place as well as a sculpturally investigation into the air-space which is defined as the negative space of the place. After completion he felt as if part of his life had been absorbed by the apartment.

RUBBISH Street Art
Came across this video of Joshua Allen Harris' Inflatable Bag Monsters. He created amazing inflatable 'sculptures' making use of just rubbish bags, tape and the exhaust that comes out of the subway vents on the streets of New York.
