The York Minster is the largest gothic cathedral in Northern Europe. It's usually dark and gloomy, but at the end of last year, as part of the city-wide Illuminating York iniative, a bunch of artists projected massive neon animation against the facade of the building. Then they programmed the projection so that the colorful light patterns would move according to people's voices. Creepy screaming and awesome FX video after the jump.

The Wellcome Trust is a UK charity organization with a penchant for provocative haute design. (They're also the guys that commissioned the awesome raining molten metal sculpture.) Their current window display features two naked human arms. Every few minutes, the arms turn from opaque to translucent, and bright red veins and arteries made of glass neon tubes magically appear. It's supposed to symbolize medical research. Images by Paul Cocksedge Studio Paul Cocksedge Studio main page via DesignBoom

Forget about paisley dresses and giant platform heels, even though they kinda made a comeback in 2007. British/Turkish Cypriot designer Hussein Chalayan understands that in the future, clothes will no longer be static. They will disappear, shrink, stretch, and light up while you wear them so that people don't get bored of looking at you all night. Elegance will be redefined by metamorphosis, not chiffon. And it really doesn't matter if nobody can see your pretty face, as long as your dress lights up the room with its LEDs.
