Artist Sandy Smith is responsible for this technological masterpiece. She made it for the Embassy Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland, and since the gallery had a whole bunch of windows she had to make a totally solid and light-proof wall to achieve the effect.

The monitors were donated by the Glasgow School of Art. While the colorful sunset side of this piece is pretty to look at, my inner geek self is loving these shots of the back of this installation even more!

Working sort of like those motorized image-flipping ad displays you see in shopping centers these days, the panorama can change between a variety of tranquil locales with a simple press of the remote. It even can play sounds of nature or new-agey music to help set your mind adrift. The box measures in at about 39″(w) x 3″(d) x 19″(h) and hangs easily on your wall.

Sure, it won’t actually give you a tan, but you can always run to the strip mall for one of those, right? While you’re there, you can grab a Piña Colada flavored slushie from the Orange Julius. You can get your fake vacation started over at Taylor Gifts for just under $100 bucks.
