Over the past few days, I've had a lot of fun compiling those end-of-the-year articles, where we've covered, lists of all lists in 2011, most popular e-scientists' finds, most innovative products of 2011, and top trends revealed by Facebook, Twitter & Google.

But I must say that it took me the longest creating this particular list, not because it was difficult or time consuming. Only because these amazing artists and their art has the power to consume you. I got so engrossed in browsing through their art and their interviews that I almost forgot about this post.
