Bodywaves by Nobuho Nagasawa
Bodywaves is part of a chair installation together with a glass table and the artists umbilical cord in a petri dish and some gray hairs. The installation connects past and present for the artist. A rocking chair covered in optical fabric channels our dependence on water. A recorded video of ocean waves plays upon a chair that senses human heat once it is sat upon and glows brighter with the interaction.

Glass Covered Chairs: Breaking the Bottle by Mark Reigelman II
Breaking the Bottle is an installation by Mark Reigelman II that is currently on display at Heller Gallery in NYC (runs till July 30, 2011).
With about 40 layers of over 1,000 lbs. of 100% recycled broken glass and 20 gallons of Epoxy Resin used to cover twelve typical household objects, including chairs, the tedious process took about three months to finish.
Reigelman on his installation:
“By fusing elements of protection with objects of the home, my installation debates the need for fervent homestead defense while pointing out the repercussions of over-protection and the impact it has on social dialogue.â€
