today and tomorrow

Plaza by Jim Lambie. They’re just plastic shopping bags leaking paint, but I like it.

“Take a W-Ride” is the title of Walter Van Beirendonck his Fall Winter 2010 collection. This is the funniest fashion stuff I’ve seen since Agatha Ruiz de la Prada her Fall Winter 2009 collection.

Very Slow Scan Television (VSSTV) by Gebhard Sengmüller is a new television format that we have developed building upon Slow Scan Television (SSTV), an image transmission system used by Ham Radio amateurs. VSSTV uses broadcasts from this historic public domain television system and regular bubble wrap to construct an analogous system: Just as a Cathode Ray Tube mixes the three primary colors to create various hues, VSSTV utilizes a plotter-like machine to fill the individual bubbles with one of the three primary CRT colors, turning them into pixels on the VSSTV “screen”. Large television images with a frame rate of one per day are the result, images that take the idea of slow scan to the extreme.

Hubero Kororo designed this interactive CD cover for the band Uceroz. When you open the CD packaging on the side, ink is set free and bleeds into the cover of the CD. I really like this idea.

ASCIImeo is a project by Peter Nitsch. It’s a video player which renders Vimeo videos in ASCII. You can choose between 3 different modes, but the block mode is definitely my favorite. Here you can see the ASCIImeo version of Scintillation. The screenshots below are cropped, I didn’t want to scale them down, the color patterns are just too nice.

This is only the animated gif teaser for phthal by René Weiß Abythe. So click the link for the full experience.

These aren’t some half abstract landscape paintings but photos manipulated with Flash. Quasimondo describes it like this: “automatic subdivision based on details in the underlying image. Areas with more detail get divided in smaller pieces.”

A detail from the first image:

Night Lights is the most amazing interactive projection on a building I have ever seen. YesYesNo were asked to turn the Auckland Ferry Building into an interactive playground for the viewers. There were 3 different types of interaction – body interaction on the two stages, hand interaction above a light table, and phone interaction with the tracking of waving phones. That input was then used to manipulate 6 different scenes. Just watch the video and you’ll know why this is a very impressive project. Here are the names of some of the people involved, some might sound familiar if you reading today and tomorrow: Joel Gethin Lewis, Zach Lieberman, Pete Hellicar, Kyle McDonald, Todd Vanderlin, Daito Manabe.

I quite like these paintings by Lesley Vance.
