One Piece at a Time

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:12:25 +0000

“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

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:56:05 +0000

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

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.

Alerting Infrastructure!

pieter | today and tomorrow — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 23:17:32 +0000

Alerting Infrastructure! by Jonah Brucker-Cohen is a physical hit counter that translates hits to the web site of an organization into interior damage of the physical building that web site or organization represents. The focus of the piece is to amplify the concern that physical spaces are slowly losing ground to their virtual counterparts. The amount of structural damage to the building directly correlates to the amount of exposure and attention the web site gets, thus exposing the physical structure’s temporal existence.

Freunde von Freunden – Karen & Christian Boros

pieter | today and tomorrow — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 23:10:15 +0000

Karen & Christian Boros are art collectors in Berlin. Over the years, their collection grew to a certain point that they decided to give is a permanent home and let the public visit the collection. They bought a former Second World War air raid shelter in central Berlin, did some serious reconstruction work and even built their private home on top of it. Freunde von Freunden, an international interview magazine, that portraits people of diverse creative and cultural backgrounds in their homes or within their daily working environments, had the chance to visit their private spaces and interview Christian Boros about collecting art and living with the artworks.
Freunde von Freunden also recently released their first book: Berlin, featuring some nice print only exclusives and online highlights of the last two years.
