This Rainbow Carpet Is Truly Eye Candy

Be forewarned: the colorful candy carpets by Australian artists pip & pop might inspire the overwhelming impulse to eat off the floor. Candy Lab, the artists’ latest edible artwork, is a mouth-watering topography of pastel-colored powdered sugar hills replete with glittering cotton candy outcroppings. The artists created the project in just a week for the Mediamatic Foundation’s Lightness festival, which invited artists to “question the meaning of ‘lightness’” through their work. Pip & pop took this encouragement to heart, elevating their art—and their viewers’ serotonin levels—to the level of a buoyant, visual sugar high.

Feast your eyes on more of pip & pop’s sweet sculptures, and check out the other artists featured during Lightness on Mediamatic’s website.
