Here is some stuff i found on the Internet

Creating a three-dimensional world out of two-dimensional drawings, David Spriggs masterfully recreates galaxies in all their glory. Along with his celestial collection of clouds, stars, and meteors, Spriggs also produces what look to be free-flowing alien-like life forms.These spatial images are created through the combination of painting, drawing, photography, digital media, and sculpture. Topographical cross-sections of a subject are painted or drawn onto sheets of transparent film. Sheets are then specifically spaced and hung apart to reveal the appearance of three-dimensional forms in a state of suspension.

Glasgow-based artist Jim Lambie can transform any space into a visual delight with his geometric tape designs. Using everyday vinyl tape, he creates angles and lines of contrasting colors that suggest movement and optical illusions. He can convert a once empty and quiet room into a space filled with energy. As viewers enter a converted space, they instantly have a visual interaction with the artwork.

Ernesto Neto works with abstract installations which often take up the entire exhibition space.his materials are gossamer-thin, light,stretchable fabrics in nylon or cotton. like fine membranes fixed to the ceiling by long,stretched threads his works hang down into the room and create shapes that are almost organic. sometimes they are filled with scented spices and hang in tear-shaped forms like gigantic mushrooms or huge stockings,sometimes he creates peculiar soft sculptures which the visitor is allowed to feel through small openings in the surface. he also creates spatial labyrinths which the visitor can enter and thereby experience the work and interact with it.
