I was so impressed today with Persian illuminated manuscripts. Some showed these playful mythological characters, all hand-drawn and incredibly ornate.
Quoted: This exhibition offers a rare and intimate glimpse of the treasures in a private collection. It celebrates the unique beauty of illuminated manuscripts across chronological, geographic, and cultural boundaries.

Innovative projects by Chinese architects. I like this one especially: Pingod Sales Center / Art Museum by Atelier Feichang Jianzhu.
Quoted: while firms from around the world are delightedly helping China push its design boundaries, the country's own young architects may be the most interesting to watch.

Just visited this installation yesterday evening. It is incredibly fun! A slow-moving animation is projected across a dark room, creating subtly changing walls of light out of floating dust. Sometimes if feels like being inside a tunnel with walls that you can walk or even swim through.
Quoted: Anthony McCall and Imi Knoebel both have used deceptively simple projections with strikingly complex effects. You and I, Horizontal (2005), a digital projection — and recent SFMOMA acquisition — by McCall, draws on his 1970s-era solid-light film installations to create an engaging experience of light as a three-dimensional beam and wall animation.

Quoted: Oiticica produced a remarkable body of work throughout his career, from abstract compositions to early environmental installations, in which he continually sought to challenge the way in which art could be experienced.
