Air Vases

January 24th, 2012

The Japanese studio Torafu Architects designed 2 new versions of their air vases: Gradation and Cube. Those 2 patterns are printed on both sides of paper disks, which are cut so the user can simply pull them into the desired shape. They don’t much function but they look nice.

One Piece at a Time

January 17th, 2012

“One Piece at a Time” is a project by Jonathan Brand. It’s a paper 3D version of a 1969 Ford Mustang which he used to have but had to sell to buy a diamond engagement ring. It’s almost as complete as the original, the body and interior were completely refinished but not its mechanicals. The details of the car are based more on his memory and a few photographs.

Tape Recorders

January 11th, 2012

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer is a Mexican electronic artist, who develops interactive installations that are at the intersection of architecture and performance art. “Tape Recorders” is one of his recent installation which was commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

Rows of motorised measuring tapes record the amount of time that visitors stay in the installation. As a computerised tracking system detects the presence of a person, the closest measuring tape starts to project upwards. When the tape reaches around 3m high it crashes and recoils back.

Each hour, the system prints the total number of minutes spent by the sum of all visitors.

Make sure to check his 2 other new artworks: Voice Array and Flatsun.

GIF Psychedelica

January 4th, 2012

It’s been a while since I’ve posted some animated GIF’s, but these ones by Yoshi Sodeoka are … psychedelic. I was actually surprised that I didn’t post anything else from his portfolio before. It’s packed with visual stimuli.
Here’re my 3 favorites from his GIF Psychedelica series.
