"At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument.

The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli's 1972 diagram."

Furniture design student Vivian Chiu built what she calls the "Inception Chair", inspired by last year's Christopher Nolan film. The chair in fact comprises many smaller versions of itself, stacked together via carefully placed grooves
