Air Jordan IV Fired Red Mask | By Freehand Profit

It’s a testament to the distinctiveness of the IV that even disassembled and repurposed into a makeshift mask, its individual components make it instantly recognizable as MJ’s fourth signature sneaker. For his latest project, designer and illustrator Freehand Profit steered clear of the usual gas mask motif, using a single pair of Air Jordan IV “Fire Red” to produce this mask inspired from the Marvel universe. The piece contains certain elements — namely, the shape of the lenses and the lines extending from the eyes to the mouth — that give the nod to a subtle Iron Man influence. Check out detailed looks in the gallery below.

Water Light Graffiti by Antonin Fourneau

French artist Antonin Fourneau has brought his Water Light Graffiti installation to New York this week. Its name perfectly distills what you can expect from the piece, in which thousands of LEDs become illuminated when exposed to water. Visitors can use any number of implements — ranging from a paint brush to a Super Soaker, or even just wet fingertips — to sketch an image or message on the wall, one that eventually fades to black after a few minutes. Water Light Graffiti debuted in Paris a few months ago, and has now hit the road under the auspices of the French arts foundation DigitalArti. It’s currently on display at the Grohe showroom for New York Design Week until Friday, when it returns to France.
