Anyone who really follows the Dr. Who scene probably already knows about this, but I found it in art magazine at my school and I always find it really amazing when my fandoms intersect with my 'high' art education!
Mark Wallinger is a british artist who created a mirrored Tardis for the 49th Venice Biennale (2001), which viewed from the right angle almost disappears into the background.
The best photo that I've found of it is http://mikesmithstudio.com/projects/tardis/
That website belongs to the fabricator, who is apparently behind quite a few significant contemporary works. Since artists these days are expected to produce work extremely quickly, they are often forced to have a fabricator actually do the actual handiwork after the artist designs the piece.
