Content is Queen

May 24th, 2011

“Content is Queen” is a new project by Sergio Albiac, it is a generative video painting that comments on democracy and power.

At the same time, is a paradoxical dialogue and strange marriage between the banal and utterly majestic: to create the series, the most popular (in a truly democratic sense) internet videos of a given moment are used as the input of a generative process that “paints” with action the image of a contemporary Queen.

You might also want to check out a more static version by Sergio called “Divided Experiences“.

UFO – Cit­roën

May 17th, 2011

Ora-Ïto is a French designer who made his name back in 1999 with the Hack-Mac and the Gucci Villa. His designs were soo different. His portfolio quite evolved since then. Last April he presented the Mutations exhibitions during the furniture fair in Milan. He designed a spaceship and a sedan chair for car manufacturer Citroën. I must say that the spaceship called “UFO” really tinkled my fancy. It’s based on the classic icon the Citroën DS.
