Ghost Girl

August 18th, 2010

I don’t know why, but lately I’m quite into modern marble sculptures. This one called Ghost Girl was made by Kevin Francis Gray and is life size.

Freeze! Revisited

August 17th, 2010

In 2003, Florian Jenett and Valentin Beinroth placed about 50 handgun replicas in downtown Frankfurt. The guns were made from tinted ice, making them look real at first sight.
In 2009 they did a new edition of their Freeze! project but made the guns eatable edible by using coke, licorice, cherry and food coloring.

Dazzle Laser Sailboat

August 17th, 2010

Marian Bantjes was commissioned to design graphics for a Laser sailboat for the Wallpaper* Handmade issue. She didn’t want to go the obvious route and decided to go for cubist patterns of WWI & WWII “dazzle” naval camouflage.
I would buy one of the 12 available if I had the £10,000 in change.

One Perfect Cube

August 16th, 2010

“One Perfect Cube” by Florian Jenett is made of three synchronized clocks that form a sign every 12 hours for exactly one second. There’re actually 43200 constellations within every 12 hours.
This video is a time lapse of the work running for 24 hours.

East Eric

August 12th, 2010

East Eric paints all kinds of things monochrome.

When an object or space is painted in monochrome, it is no longer recognized as what it was before. It adopts a completely different shape, a new identity, another character.

M.I.A. – XXXO

August 12th, 2010

What’s up with the music videos today? The internet amateur style finally made it into a music video, thanks to Hype Williams & M.I.A. The video for XXXO is just pure bliss! It’s the music video of the year, hands down.
There’s just one bitter taste about it. I can’t watch the official video in Germany, M.I.A. even uses the official YouTube video on her homepage. Is 2010 still the year where licenses are local but music is global?

Ratatat – Drugs

August 11th, 2010

Do you know stock imagery and stock footage? Yes? Then you might recognize some faces in the music video for Drugs by Ratatat. Carl Burgess searched the Getty Images archives and turned the footage into this amazing video. You’ll smile watching this one!
Produced by Blink Art & Colonel Blimp.
