Illuminated cubes, visual effects and electronic beats: these are the ingredients of the Kubik temporary open air clubs in Berlin and Barcelona.

The incorporation of a light bulb turns the plastic tanks into giant luminaires, which can be stacked and arranged to form objects of varying size and shape.
Curated by Paul Schimmel, this matrix-like light sculpture is called "Ecstasy: In and About Altered States."

The most efficient way to recycle plastic bottles is to reuse them, and austrian design company Walking-Things.com made this creative design-it-yourself solution for it.

Pretty awesome.
