Vik Muniz is a brasilian artist, who makes art out of everything from sugar to junk... his work has been described by some critic as "art for people, who don't like art" (or something like that)... for anyone who wants to see what kind of guy he is, you can check out a video of his lecture he did at Ted... and he is also one of the few contemporary artists who have a decent website: www.vikmuniz.net
